Baxter Redman is a storyteller with a passion for exploring music, friendship, and love. Influenced by literary greats like L.M. Montgomery, V.C. Andrews, and Francine Pascal, she combines heartfelt character development with compelling narratives that resonate deeply with readers.
A lifelong fan of boy bands, Baxter draws inspiration from the songs, camaraderie, and behind-the-scenes stories of her favorite groups, including New Kids on the Block, *NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. The Boy Band Saga began as a fan fiction piece inspired by a dream where Jordan Knight and JC Chasez were fighting for Baxter’s attention (can you imagine having to choose between the two of them?) The story took on a life of its own and evolved into a heartfelt series about fame, loyalty, and the relationships that shape our lives.
Baxter’s love for boy bands goes beyond the music–it’s about the nostalgia, the fun, and the friendships that defined her teen years. Her first boy band concert was All-4-One in 1994. Though she’s been a New Kids fan since 1989 and has now seen them three times, she saw *NSYNC before seeing her first boy band love. Her favorite writing playlist features hits from New Kids on the Block, *SYNC, 98 Degrees, All-4-One, and Wham!, among others.
Baxter spent years reviewing books and writing fan fiction while studying English and creative writing, honing her craft and developing a unique voice. When she’s not writing, she enjoys curating nostalgic playlists, resisting favorite concerts, collecting boy band memorabilia, and connecting with fellow fans over coffee and conversation. Baxter lives in the Midwest with her family and invites readers to join her on social media to talk about storytelling, music, and memories.
