J.D. Harbor is a romance novelist and travel advisor who believes the best stories begin with a little adventure, whether it’s lived in real life or waiting on the page.
Before he started writing fiction, he served as a military photojournalist, where he learned how powerful storytelling can be. Capturing real moments and shaping them into something people could feel changed the way he saw the world. These days, he writes emotionally rich contemporary romances set at sea, inspired in part by meeting his wife on a cruise. His RomantiSea Serenades series invites you aboard the Elysian Serenade for stories filled with love, humor, personal growth, and the kind of connection that can change everything. The series began with Emerald Tide and Sapphire Seas and continues with Scarlet Wave and Golden Shores, with each story offering its own romantic journey.
When he's not writing, he helps people plan unforgettable vacations of their own. He’s taken more than 20 cruises, many of them as a solo traveler, and is a frequent visitor to Disney and Universal parks around the world. He brings that firsthand experience into every trip he helps create, so whether you’re planning your first cruise, a solo escape, or a theme park vacation, he wants your journey to feel personal, memorable, and worth every moment.
At the heart of everything he does, whether he's writing romance or planning travel, is the belief that the best journeys change you. He’d love for you to come along for the ride, whether that means sailing into one of his stories or setting off on an adventure of your own.
