Serenna Crawford is a former U.S. Army officer turned corporate business manager, as well as a dedicated single mother navigating co-parenting after military service and divorce. She writes adult romantic fantasy about imperfect, strong women—her heroines are forged by flaws and resilience, much like Serenna’s own journey.
Serenna’s debut novel, This War Between Us, follows Seraphine Blackwell, a determined young woman entering a prestigious military academy. Serenna first imagined Seraphine’s story over ten years ago, when she was a 23-year-old platoon leader herself. As Serenna’s life evolved—becoming a mother, transitioning to civilian life, enduring heartbreak and divorce, finding love again, and facing the heartache of secondary infertility—so did her novel. Through every challenge, she poured lessons of grief, hope, and courage into Seraphine’s tale, crafting a story that explores the depths of women’s strength and the complexity of their hearts.
Now, after years of holding this story close, Serenna is thrilled to share This War Between Us with the world. It is the first in a planned series chronicling Seraphine’s journey, and Serenna is already at work on the next installment. With each book, she aims to connect with readers through honest emotion and hard-won wisdom, celebrating the power of love and resilience in the face of life’s battles. Serenna lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her daughter, her fiancé, and a very spoiled bernadoodle named Bexley. When she isn’t writing or managing corporate projects, she’s probably drinking coffee, daydreaming her next story, or finding new ways to support fellow veterans in her community.
