Hello! It’s lovely to meet you.
I’m Trisha Jenn Loehr. I’m a book coach for women romance writers. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with my IT-nerd husband, my sweet baby daughter, and Gizmo, our adorable rescue dog. I’ve been a bookworm since I was tiny. As a book coach, I get to help women build their confidence and write great stories—specifically ones with happily-ever-after endings. My Mission: I help women who write romance novels expand their writing skills, journey toward their writing goals, and not feel guilt or shame for writing books that showcase happy stories and deliver joy to readers.

On My Blog
My blog started in 2010 as a place to celebrate reading and writing. Now, it’s a place for updates on my work, a place to squee about books that I’m excited about, and a place to share tips and resources for writers. A few years ago, I added a new topic to the blog—infertility and pregnancy loss. I had my first miscarriage in 2017. In 2018, my son Hudson was stillborn after his heart stopped beating partway through my pregnancy. Six months after Hudson died, I had another miscarriage. And then, despite fertility treatments, I was unable to get pregnant during the next two years. Finally, in 2021, I got pregnant again thanks to the sciency magic of IUI and we welcomed baby Evie to our family. I started sharing about my experiences with infertility and pregnancy loss to encourage other loss parents by helping them know that they aren’t alone and to help their families and friends learn how to better support them through these incredibly painful journeys.
