Books: Evelyn Goldman

About

Evelyn Goldman (she/her) writes a bunch of mishegoss. Usually, it’s historical romance. Sometimes, it’s women’s fiction. Occasionally, it’s magical realism. But the two things you can always count on in her stories are humor and an HEA (Happily Ever After). Her debut American Revolutionary War historical romance, A Widow’s Guide to Scandal, under pen name, Hallie Alexander, was runner-up for the 2019 Cleveland Rocks Romance Contest and the 2021 RONE Contest. Her short fiction has been published in anthologies and literary journals. In 2022, Evelyn won the WCPL Wake Writes Together short story contest with a story about a rabbi and his golem.

Evelyn lives in North Carolina with her husband, three children, and two Doodles of Mayhem™. When she’s not writing or researching, she enjoys crafting of all kinds.
