About

I’m Destiny Cole, a YA writer, lover of books, and unapologetic fangirl. I also work in digital marketing and social media.

I write YA books because I’ll never forget the process I went through to discover who I was, what my passions were (outside of kissing cute boys), and what I wanted to do with my life. A process that I repeated over and over because that’s the great thing about being young: It’s “coming-of-age” not “and then one day she became an adult.”

I did indeed eventually grow up (sort of) and have lived a pretty full life so far! I married a cute Belgian and moved to Europe for almost five years; I’ve traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Middle East, even living on the tiny island of Cyprus (near Turkey) for six months; I have written for economic publications and non-profits and airline schools; and let’s not forget my trilogy… kid trilogy that is! I have three fabulous little blondies and the greatest dog on the planet.

My writing is currently unrepresented. You can contact me at destinyhcole@gmail.com or follow me on Twitter or Instagram @destinywrites

Five things you may not know about me:

1. I have three tattoos and each one has a mate. Apparently, I can only get a tattoo if someone else is going to get the exact one with me! This has only gone bad once. Note: never get a matching tattoo with your boyfriend when you’re 18.

2. When I’ve been staring at a computer screen too much that day, instead of reading myself to sleep, I stream one of my favorite movies on my phone and listen to it like an audio book.

3. I am equally obsessed with both celebrity gossip and economics. I can tell you which celebrity is dating who and in the next breath explain why quantitative easing never works the way governments want it to.

4. I have an aversion to most veggies because I just think they taste horrible. I eat them, I just don’t enjoy it.

5. One of my favorite movies in the entire world is WILLOW. I even named the main character in one of my books Willow and it took everything in me to not make someone at one point tell her, “Willow, you iiiiidiot.”
