Amy Quick Parrish writes sweet, heartwarming Christmas romances set in fun, escapist locations—from the snowy Scottish Highlands to cozy New England towns. Her stories are filled with holiday cheer, slow-burn romance, and feel-good endings that leave readers smiling. Perfect for fans of second chances, grumpy/sunshine couples, and charming inns dusted with snow.

After studying English and Spanish literature at the University of Michigan, Parrish followed the scent of barbecue and the sounds of Del Castillo and Chingón all the way to Austin, Texas. There, she landed an internship with director Richard Linklater at Detour Filmproduction and made her first short film, Hokey Smokes! Frank Allison and the Odd Sox, about a quirky Ann Arbor band. Her feature screenplay — a Sundance Labs finalist — eventually became a web series she directed in Austin, which she later turned into a novel series: Into Dust – The Thunderbird Chronicles and its sequel, Into the Storm.

Then one day, a long-lost cousin from Scotland reached out of the blue, and soon Parrish and her family were headed to the Highlands to meet their Scottish relatives. Inspired by the cozy villages, misty lochs, and warm welcome, she started writing sweet Christmas romances set in Scotland—and hasn’t looked back since.
