Katherine Center

Author

Katherine Center is an American novelist whose warm, funny, and deeply felt romantic comedies have made her one of the most popular women's fiction writers in America. She holds a BA from Vassar College and an MFA from the University of Houston, and lives in Houston, Texas. She has been compared to Nora Ephron for her ability to blend... humour with genuine emotion. Center's bestselling novels include How to Walk Away, What You Wish For, The Bodyguard, Hello Stranger, and Happiness for Beginners (adapted into a Netflix film). The Bodyguard follows a female bodyguard who is assigned to protect a former teen heartthrob at his family's ranch in Texas — a setup that delivers both romantic comedy and genuine emotional depth. Her fiction consistently explores themes of resilience, self-discovery, and finding joy in unexpected places. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers romantic comedy with real substance — funny, moving stories about women who are braver than they think, told with warmth, wit, and an optimistic belief that love and courage can transform even the hardest situations.
