Tessa King is an award-winning author of contemporary women’s fiction. Her debut novel, My Wingman (2025), has been recognized for its relatable characters and grounded storytelling.

My Wingman follows a young woman navigating grief after the loss of her soulmate, as she finds her way toward self-discovery and a renewed sense of direction. The story balances heavier themes with hope, focusing on growth rather than perfection.

Tessa writes character-driven fiction inspired by everyday moments, emotional crossroads, and the ways people adapt when life doesn’t go as planned. She is drawn to stories that feel honest and familiar, focusing on resilience and the importance of human connection.

When she’s not writing, Tessa enjoys spending time with her German Shepherd, Preacher, baking, reading, and listening to music. She is a devoted Detroit Lions fan, a novice knitter, and—despite her best efforts—a reliable killer of houseplants.

Tessa lives and writes in the Midwest and continues to work on contemporary women’s fiction that blends sincerity, relatability, and a touch of wit.
