Love deeply, dream boldly, create endlessly.
Chantell Monique Romance didn’t start in a bustling office or a quiet writer’s retreat; it began on the shelves of a child’s bedroom, where untouched books from school fairs collected dust. It grew in the heart of a little girl who watched her mother, one of the first “romance girlies,” lose herself in the pages of Nora Roberts, Julie Garwood, and Judith McNaught. These books were more than paper and ink; they were windows to worlds of passion, mystery, and love, forming the backdrop of a childhood filled with romance. Despite initially resisting the allure of books, a pivotal eighth grade year sparked Chantell Monique’s own literary journey, leading her to discover the transformative power of fiction writing and a deep-seated passion for romance.
Throughout her life, Chantell navigated various creative pursuits, from acting to screenwriting, but it wasn’t until the solitude of 2020 prompted reflection that her dream of writing novels resurfaced. Supported by her mother, Luvenure Marie, her unwavering champion and trusted content editor, Chantell embarked on a journey to fulfill her long-dormant aspiration. Together, they explored the rich history of romance literature, uncovering the remarkable legacy of Vivian Stephens, a Black woman whose pioneering contributions to the genre inspired Chantell to claim her own space within the industry.
After the devastating loss of her mother to cancer, Chantell faced a pivotal crossroads: to persevere or succumb to despair. Encouraged by her mother’s enduring belief in her talent, Chantell chose to honor her legacy by not abandoning the dream they created together.
Now, as the founder of Chantell Monique Romance, an indie romance company, Chantell is determined to weave her personal story into the fabric of the brand, infusing it with authenticity, depth, and purpose. Beyond merely selling novels, Chantell envisions CMR as a beacon of hope and empowerment, a sanctuary where readers can find solace, inspiration, and a sense of belonging. With each meticulously crafted love story, Chantell seeks to honor her mother’s memory, celebrate the resilience of the human spirit, and create a community where love transcends beyond words.
