She is an American author of romance novels and contemporary women's fiction. Six of his novels were adapted into TV movies, and the Cedar Cove novel series was adapted into a television series of the same name. Macomber, who is dyslexic, only graduated from high school. He wrote his first articles in the kitchen of his home on a rented typewriter. While raising her five children, she decided to become a writer. Publishers rejected his writings many times, and eventually he found a freelance magazine job. At a writers' conference he attended, one of his articles was selected for public criticism by an editor at Harlequin Enterprises. The editor tore up his novel and advised him to throw it away too. At the first opportunity, Macomber sent the same novel, Heartsong, to Harlequin's rival, Silhouette Books. He purchased the book, the novel Silhouette, which became the first romance novel reviewed by Publishers Weekly. Starlight was the first of her novels published as part of the Silhouette Special Edition romance series, now owned by Harlequin. Macomber continued to write romance novels for Silhouette and later Harlequin. In 1988, Harlequin asked Macomber to write a series of interconnected stories known as the Navy series. Before long, he was writing two or three novels a year. By 1994, Macomber began publishing single-title novels. The first hardcover was released in 2001. In 2002, Macomber realized that she wanted to write books that focused more on women and their friendships. Thursdays at Eight was her first foray from traditional romance into contemporary women's fiction. Macomber's novels focus on conveying the message of the story and do not contain detailed descriptive passages. Her heroines tend to be optimistic and "stories resolve in ways that leave the reader with a sense of hope and happy anticipation." Although Macomber does not include sexual details in his books due to his Christian beliefs, they contain lust. His books have sold more than 170 million copies worldwide.
