The Publishing Performance Show Jami Albright - The Business of Writing Romantic Comedy
Jami Albright is a born and raised Texas girl and the multiple award-winning author of the "Brides on the Run" and "Small-Town Royalty" series—both known for being sexy, swoony, and laugh-out-loud funny. Beginning her writing journey at 47, Jami brings her background in stand-up comedy and natural storyteller's voice to her romance novels. When she's not writing, she's a wife, mother, and actress/comedian who loves all things Outlander, puppies, and can be found watching her beloved Houston Texans on Sundays during football season, hoping they won't break her heart.
