MC Danielsen writes heartfelt YA rom-coms with equal parts humor, emotional depth, and small-town charm. M.C. is a lifelong North Dakotan (at heart) and a child development specialist by education. She brings authentic rural vibes, slow-burn romance, and fierce friendships to the page. Her stories center resilient girls, good-hearted boys, and the kind of moments you’ll want to screenshot for later. She and her husband enjoy time with their grown children and spend evenings rubbing their hands together and cackling over what to buy for their first grandchild. As a pair, M.C. and her husband painfully root for a collection of “just about” sports teams: just about won that game, just about made the playoffs, just about set a record. Once upon a time, Mr. M.C. was, in fact, a clueless boy who might have missed his happy ending—if his heroine hadn’t done some serious nudging.
