Today we’d like to introduce you to Hunter Snow.
Hi Hunter, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I took a rather unconventional path to becoming an author. I spent much of my career working in the music industry, alongside artists, managers, agents, lawyers, publishers, and songwriters. It was an exciting, sometimes chaotic world, and it gave me a front-row seat to the personalities, relationships, and behind-the-scenes drama that most people never get to see.
I’ve always loved storytelling, but it took me a long time to publish my first novel, Rock Crush and Roll. I drew on my music-industry experience to create a romantic comedy that was both entertaining and authentic. I knew absolutely nothing about publishing, so I taught myself the business and decided to publish independently.
My second novel, Gone Country, is another music-inspired romance, while my third, Between You, Me, and the Fence Post, ventures into women’s fiction, exploring love, addiction, betrayal, and the importance of choosing yourself.
Along the way, my books have received wonderful reviews and recognition, and I’ve had the opportunity to travel throughout Canada and the United States, meeting readers and fellow authors. I’m currently writing my fourth novel, Movie Music, set in the film industry.
I started writing because I had stories I wanted to tell. I keep writing because people want to read them. And I’m having the time of my life!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
One of the biggest challenges has been getting my books noticed in an incredibly crowded marketplace. There are so many talented authors competing for readers’ attention, and marketing can sometimes feel like a full-time job in itself.
But the rewards have far outweighed the frustrations. Every positive review, message from a reader, and opportunity to connect with fellow book lovers reminds me why I started. I’m still learning, and I suspect I always will be.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I write contemporary romance and women’s fiction, often set against the backdrop of the entertainment industry. My years working in the music business give me a unique perspective, and I love taking readers behind the scenes into a world that isn’t always as glamorous as it appears.
My books feature strong, complicated characters, plenty of humor, and relationships that aren’t always easy. I’m particularly interested in telling stories about women navigating careers, love, and the expectations placed on them. I also believe that romance doesn’t have to be explicit to be compelling.
What sets my writing apart is the authenticity I bring to the entertainment industry. I’ve witnessed the egos, the politics, the friendships, and the extraordinary talent firsthand, and those experiences find their way into my stories.
I’m most proud of having built a readership entirely as an independent author. Seeing my books resonate with readers, receiving wonderful reviews and awards, and meeting people who have connected with my characters has been incredibly rewarding. The fact that complete strangers are spending their time reading stories I dreamed up still amazes me.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What’s not to love about Nashville? Having spent much of my career in the music industry, I feel right at home in Music City. I love the live music, the incredible talent, and the city’s creative energy. There’s something special about being in a place where music is such an important part of its identity.
I’ve also found the people to be incredibly warm and welcoming. I recently attended the Be Love Spread Love book convention in Nashville and had an absolutely wonderful time meeting readers, authors, and new friends.
What do I like least? The traffic!
