MIMI FOSTER

Bestselling author Mimi Foster writes contemporary, historical, and ghost romance featuring protective heroes, resilient heroines, unforgettable settings, and healing stories where love is always worth fighting for. She blends hope, humor, and heart with just the right touch of steam, celebrating the unexpected ways life’s greatest blessings find us.

A fifth-generation Floridian, Mimi grew up in St. Petersburg with the Gulf of Mexico just beyond her bedroom window. Although her family lived in many places across the country, the water always called to her. More than fifty years ago, Colorado captured her heart, and today she happily claims both the Florida coast and the Colorado Rockies as the landscapes that continue to inspire her imagination.

While attending college in Boulder, she often climbed into her faithful Toyota (affectionately named Cletus) and disappeared into the mountains for the day. One destination became a favorite refuge: Barker Reservoir in Nederland, Colorado. It was there, sitting quietly by the water as snow began to fall and thunder echoed through the mountains, that she experienced the rare phenomenon known as thundersnow. She didn’t realize it then, but years later that unforgettable afternoon would become the spark that inspired her beloved Thunder on the Mountain series and become the title of her first book.

After building an award-winning career as a Colorado Realtor spanning more than three decades, Mimi naturally chose to write about places and professions she knew well. Her novels feature small mountain towns, coastal communities, baseball diamonds, historic homes, and families who discover that healing often begins with love, friendship, and a little courage. Whether readers find themselves in the Colorado high country, the Florida Keys, or along the rocky coast of Maine, her settings become characters every bit as memorable as the people who inhabit them.

The name of her Thunder on the Mountain series has its own story. Racing to finish her second novel before sending it to print, Mimi still hadn’t settled on a title. As she and a friend tossed around ideas, her husband (her greatest supporter and best friend) quietly interjected, “How about Thunder Struck?” From that simple moment, the entire series found its identity.

When she isn’t writing, Mimi continues to serve clients as an award-winning Realtor, enjoys photography, blogging, and exploring Colorado’s scenic back roads with her husband. She treasures every opportunity to spend time with their five daughters and five grandchildren.

She loves hearing from readers. Whether you’ve discovered one of her contemporary romances, traveled into the past with her historical novels, or fallen in love with her ghost story, she hopes you’ll stop by and say hello.
