- My name is J.C. Hannigan. I write new adult romantic suspense novels. COLLIDE is available for Kindle and Kobo, and CONSUMED will be releasing December 2014. You can read more about my books by heading to the "BOOKS" page.
I love my family; my kids, my husband, and our dogs. I love to write, I love tea, coffee, and Instagram. I love curling up on the couch with a good book.
This blog is a collection of my thoughts, my stories, my life. I hope you enjoy!
