Hi, I’m Jacquelyn, and I’m a writer who loves villains.

Welcome to my villainous corner of the internet .

I write immersive, emotionally intense stories about villain-coded characters, impossible choices, dangerous relationships, and what survival can turn us into. My books span dark fantasy, dystopian thrillers, science fiction, and gothic historical fantasy—but they all share the same DNA: morally black characters, atmospheric worlds, slow-burning tension, cinematic twists, and no guarantee that the heroes will behave heroically.

Basically, I write stories that crawl inside your head, rearrange the furniture, and leave you emotionally attached to people who have done truly terrible things.

Explore the Books section to find your next dark obsession, or visit my shop for signed editions and other goodies. You can also follow me on social media for behind-the-scenes glimpses into the chaos inside my brain, my writing process, my fictional worlds, and the characters currently ruining my life.

Embrace the dark side. You’re in excellent company.

Readers, I have an important update—and an apology. ❤️ Unfortunately, I misunderstood Amazon’s manuscript submission time zone and missed the deadline to upload The Nymph King, which canceled the existing e-book pre-orders. This was 100
WHO LIKES IT DARK AND WEIRD? The darker and weirder... SIGN ME UP. Mabel McKenzie is not here to be likable. 😂 And Magic Makers is dark as hell, guys. It's about sibling love; it's bureaucratic noir; it's not a whimsical circus; it has a power t
