Rhoda Baxter

Hi. I'm Rhoda. I write comfort reads with a dash of fun. Chicklit or sweet romance, if you like.

I grew up in Sri Lanka and now live in Yorkshire with my family and an out of control Lego collection. I'm a 'resting' microbiologist and an IP professional. I drink far too much tea and spend too much time thinking about cake.

My books have been shortlisted for RoNA awards (six of them, so far!), Love Stories awards (2015) and the Joan Hessayon award (2013). I also write women's fiction as Jeevani Charika.

The best way to see if my books are your kind of thing is to try one - so why not get a free book by joining my reader group newsletter. You can do this via my website.

You can find me talking about science, romance and cake (mostly cake, to be honest) on my website, on Instagram (jeevanicharika) or on Facebook. Come say hello.
