About Taryn

I’ve always been a bit too fascinated by villains and fucked up relationships, so it was only a matter of time before those interests cross-pollinated with my love of fantasy, horror, and gothic fiction.

I’m one of those authors who caught the writing bug early and spent most of their free time writing, reading, and exploring stories in other ways like through gaming, drawing, and written roleplays.

I majored in creative writing at university, but turned down acceptance to an MFA program after admitting to myself that I’d rather write depraved smut than the next great American novel.

I still care about strong writing craft, but my primary goal as an author is to create deeply compelling stories that don’t hold back on the dark eroticism or whatever else the story demands—even at the cost of censorship.

If you’ve always been morbidly curious about what would happen if the villain actually got to have his way with the damsel (without the guardrails of romance), you’re in the right place.
