About

T. M. Polak writes spicy, swoony, and emotionally layered romantic comedies that embrace both the magical and the meaningful. Her stories are not limited to one theme, and explore anything from arranged marriages, unexpected inheritances, rock stars, billionaires, and newly imagined magical worlds—all woven together with inclusive representation, disability awareness, and just the right dose of fantasy.

​

As a neurodivergent parent raising a young daughter and a son with Autism alongside her amazing husband, T. M. believes in writing love stories that reflect the world she knows: beautifully imperfect, wildly creative, and full of unexpected joy. Her career in HR project management by day and her work as a community volunteer and parent advocate by night have shaped her deep understanding of resilience, growth, and connection.

​

She grew up in Rhode Island but now calls a small Massachusetts town home, where she’s always got a project in motion, a stubborn streak in action, or a cheesecake in the fridge. Also, (believe it or not) she once managed to lick her elbow, which she considers a superpower and a testament to her unwavering determination once she sets her mind to something.

​

Her debut novel, Code of Heart, launches the Joia City Series on August 15, 2025. You can find her on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook sharing bookish updates, behind-the-scenes chaos, glimpses of her daily life, and sneak peeks of what’s next.
