Katherine Center writes romantic comedies about resilience, second chances, and finding joy in difficult circumstances. Often compared to Jane Austen and Nora Ephron, her novels blend humor with emotional depth, following characters who face real setbacks before arriving at hard-won happy endings. BookPage has called her “the reigning queen of comfort reads.”
Based in Houston, Texas, Center published her debut novel The Bright Side of Disaster in 2006 and has written steadily since, with several of her books adapted for screen. Her 2015 novel Happiness for Beginners became a Netflix original movie starring Ellie Kemper and Luke Grimes, while The Lost Husband, starring Josh Duhamel, hit #1 on Netflix.
Her more recent releases, including Hello Stranger (2023), The Rom-Commers (2024), and The Love Haters (2025), continue to draw readers who appreciate stories that balance warmth with real emotional stakes.
