Jaclyn Q. Martinez writes spicy contemporary romances about fat and fabulous Filipinas going for their happily-ever-afters. She writes stories set in Canada about nerdy characters, messy emotions, and cat sidekicks that are simply purr-fect (or so they say).

Jaclyn lives in Toronto with a cat. She published her first book, Lady Kidlat Meets Her Match, in 2024 and is currently at work on more books in the series.
