Who am I?
I’m a multi-genre author who writes under multiple pen names, bringing stories to life across psychological thrillers, paranormal YA, dark romance, cozy mysteries, and more.
But I’m also a mentor, entrepreneur, and book lover at heart. I created Author by Design not just as a resource for writers, but as a community for readers and storytellers alike.
