Meet Kayla Grosse

Get to know Kayla and her passion for writing

Kayla’s Path To Writing

Kayla grew up in a suburb of Madison, Wisconsin. Though she lived near a big college town, her backyard was often a cornfield and her favorite hobby was riding her horse along a plush green trail. On days like this is where she imagined flying through the fields with a cape on her back and a sword in her hand.

Fantasy has always been a part of Kayla’s life so it wasn’t a surprise to anyone that after high school she attended film school where she learned the ins and outs of making movies. With a degree in hand and $2,000 dollars in her bank account, Kayla moved to Los Angeles in 2010 to be the next Peter Jackson.

However, It didn’t take long for her to realize that writing has and always will be her ultimate passion. In 2018 Kayla finished her debut contemporary fantasy novel, W.I.S.H Revelations, which was released on November 20, 2019, by The Hodge Podge House, LLC

Her second novel is a co-written romance called Falling for the Manny by Kayla Nicole.

Her most recent novel, I Like You Like That, a second chance, rock star romance, trended to #1 on Amazon for over a month straight. She’s now working on her next book that will feature another plus-size female main character… and maybe a few hot cowboys.

& A Few Fun Facts!

I own a quarter horse named Atlas (look how cute he is!)

I have a cockatiel named Fiyero, after Fiyero in Wicked. He has his own TikTok that has 25K followers and he talks and sings

I have 8 tattoos, one of which is elvish from the Lord of the Rings Movies

I'm a survivor of Kawasaki's Disease and am the proud owner of a Pacemaker/ICD implant

I love ice cream and will eat it all year round and in freezing cold weather

I love Broadway musicals, Dog Fight is my favorite, and would one day love to have a Broadway musical that I've written

I love coffee and start every day with 2 shots of expresso with a little water.

A Note from Kayla around Plus-Size rep in romance

I write plus-size romance for all the people who have never felt seen in romance. Who have never read a book or consumed media and been able to say, “I can relate to this character. They are me!” I hope my books and fat babes bring you love, joy, peace, and healing. Because you are enough, just as you are.

Xoxo, Kayla Grosse
