Hey, Girl, Hey!

I'm Amirah Cook. I write romance novels, host luxury retreats, and coach people through writing their own books and creating the lifestyle they want.

I'm the author of the Emily Gamble romance trilogy and co-founder of Cherry Blossoms Publishing, where my books live alongside journals and stationery for those who prefer to process life on paper. I also co-founded Hosted by The Cooks with my husband Jarrell Cook, our boutique retreat company. I host journaling and planning sessions on One Hour For You, an online community built around helping people be intentional and inspired by their lives.

I've lived abroad since 2013, determined to expand my life experiences in a way that keeps me inspired and curious. I've turned all of it into four brands spanning publishing, travel, and personal development.

But don't let the resume fool you. I'm no work horse. I prioritize taking the best care of myself above all else. So, I do not fret about responding to emails in record time or accepting every opportunity. That said, I'd love to hear how you'd like to work together, welcome you on a trip, or plan a private adventure for you.

Here is a short list of everything I offer:

It's the journal everyone's talking about. Get your copy before they're sold out!

The Emily Gamble series, three books deep into a story you won't want to put down.

The retreat that started it all, six nights in Bali with the women who show up ready for rest, adventure, and real connection.

A romantic week in Bali built for two. Get the full itinerary + details.

Follow along for the day-to-day, behind the scenes of the trips, the books, and the life these all come from.

For any personal requests, private trip planning, or general inquiries, reach out to me via email.
