Jodi Culliney, former bookstore clerk and lifelong lover of books, grew up in South Dakota, where she lived a peaceful existence until she met the love of her life and made the move to Brooklyn, NY. She has a Bachelor’s degree in English from Black Hills State University and is working on her next novel.
Jodi's series, Love, South Dakota Style is a heartfelt, interconnected contemporary romance series about second chances, unexpected connections, and the healing power of love. Each book follows characters whose lives are tangled by past choices, unspoken truths, and the paths that bring them home—both literally and emotionally. From a cross-country train romance that derails a long-planned wedding, to two shattered hearts learning to trust again, to a one-night encounter that blossoms into something deeper, these stories blend emotional depth with small-town warmth. With settings that range from a tight-knit South Dakota small town to big cities and cross-country travels, this series explores how love can find you when you’re lost, remake you when you’re broken, and anchor you when the world shifts beneath your feet.
