Jacquelyn GIlmore, Author

Jacquelyn Gilmore has been called “a rising voice” in dark fantasy and science fiction romance, celebrated for her immersive worlds, morally complex characters, and unapologetic love of villains. With over a decade of professional writing experience and a bachelor’s degree in English literature, Gilmore crafts stories that lure readers into terrifyingly beautiful realms where antiheroes thrive and every choice carries a cost.

Her debut novel, The Elf Witch, has been praised as “captivating” and a “must-read” for fans of dark fantasy, blending betrayal, romance, and dangerous magic. The highly anticipated sequel, The Serpent Prince, was released on October 28, 2025. DREAM IN THE ASH will follow it on March 10, 2026, the first in a new dark sci-fi dystopian series that explores the collision of magic and technology.

When she isn’t writing, Gilmore lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and dog, Finn, constantly dreaming up new terrifying worlds and the villains who rule them.
