About Naomi + Rivers

Naomi + Rivers writes lesbian romance and women’s fiction.

We are a wife writing team who believe in romance, fairy tales, and happily ever after. Our first novel, THIS: A Simple, Complex Love Story, was written over twenty years to maintain our connection during deployments and other assignments. And the second, Why Not Us? was released November 2025. We are both retired U.S. military veterans and reside on the East Coast with a spoiled rotten rescue dog. Our work has appeared in I Heart SapphFic’s anthology Favorite Scenes from Favorite Authors, From a Black Perspective: The Homeland published by Rainbow Room Publishing, and BRICK Zine published by Oleander Press.

“Love is an action, never simply a feeling.”
