About the Author
Chloe Walsh is a twenty-nine-year-old, mother of two from County Cork in the south of Ireland. The youngest of five children, reading and writing was her escape as a child.
In January 2014, at the ripe old age of twenty-four, she started to write about a cocky, self-assured man named Kyle Carter, and five weeks later, on Valentine’s Day 2014, she self-published her debut novel, Break my Fall, for a handful of friends who had called over for tea, read bits and pieces of Kyle, and wanted to read the story on their E-readers rather than printed sheets.
Shockingly – and no one was more surprised than her – the book was a huge success, reaching No.1 in the UK Bestsellers Lists. Chloe followed it up in April 2014 with the sequel, Fall to Pieces, vowing that this second book would be the final chapter for Kyle.
The demand for a third instalment was overwhelming and a series was born! The final book became two: Fall on Me, the third book in the accidental Broken series, was released in August 2014, and Forever we Fall was released in October 2014.
Treacherous, the first book from her Carter Kids series was released in March 2015, followed by Always in June 2015.
DiMarco’s Secret Love Child (Parts 1 & 2) were released in later March 2015.
Blurring Lines was released in May 2015, followed by Never Let Me Go, in December 2015.
Thorn, her eleventh book, was released in February 2016, on the two-year anniversary of her publishing career. Tame followed in September of 2016.
Torment, released in December 2016, followed by Off Limits, in January 2017. In February 2017, on the three-year anniversary of her writing career, Chloe released Off the Cards, followed by Off the Hook in April the same year.
Endgame, released in June 2017 is Chloe’s first standalone novel, followed by Inevitable in October 2017. Altered was released in December 2017. Binding 13, released in July 2018, followed by Keeping 13 in November 2018, brings to twenty-one the number of books Chloe has under her belt.
An avid reader, Chloe enjoys lurking in a corner with her E-reader and playing, watching, and basically devouring all things sports – especially rugby.
She has a deep love for paranormal romance and young adult fantasy and hopes to take the plunge into the genres in the not too distant future.
