About Ames

Ames Willow writes M/M romance with emotional depth and guaranteed happy endings. Whether it’s the cozy charm of small-town Vermont or the liminal spaces of a dying shopping mall, Ames crafts stories about finding home in unexpected places and the specific kind of heat that happens when two people finally let their walls down.

When not writing about found families and second chances, Ames can be found haunting coffee shops, rewatching comfort movies, and arguing about which era of mall culture was superior (it’s obviously the early 2000s).
