Pepper D Basham has been telling tales ever since she was a little girl and fell in love with storytelling while listening to her granny share oral history. A native of the Blue Ridge Mountains, mom of five, speech-language pathologist, and lover of chocolate, Pepper enjoys sprinkling her native Appalachian culture into her fiction wherever she can. She currently resides in the lovely mountains of Asheville, NC, where she works with kids who have special needs, searches for unique hats, and plots new ways to annoy her wonderful friends at her group writing blog, The Writer's Alley. She is the author of the WW1 historical romance series, Penned in Time, as well as the contemporary romance series, Mitchell's Crossroads. She's also known for her Britallachian romances, Just the Way You Are, Second Impressions, and Jane By the Book.

Pepper Basham recommends

If All Else Sails (2025)
Emma St. Clair
"'In the skillful hands of author Emma St. Clair, the enemies-to-lovers trope not only works but sizzles for all the right reasons. And who doesn't love a wounded, tough-yet-tender hero and a strong, sassy-yet-compassionate heroine? Add some humor and a deeper storyline of healing and you have a book that's worth every page. Highly recommend."

Julia Monroe Begins Again (2023)
(Beignets for Two, book 1)
Rebekah Millet
"Millet has written an achingly sweet story of second chances and the beauty of how forgiveness creates freedom and joy."

The Love Script (2023)
(Love in the Spotlight, book 1)
Toni Shiloh
"Shiloh offers a sweet romance with a strong dose of spiritual truth."
