Welcome!
Jillian Maclean writes sweet and spicy sports romance filled with heart, humor, and happily ever after. She started writing her first full length novel when she was seventeen, but it wasn’t until she got pregnant with her first born that she started writing in earnest.
Her debut novel, Stick Side, was largely written on her cellphone with a slumbering infant glued to her side.
When not writing, Jillian can be found cooking, baking (usually with chocolate), enjoying time with her family, and reading an interesting mix of romance novels, nutrition journals, and Chinese medicine textbooks. She currently lives in Ontario, Canada with her husband and daughter.
