Her debut novel, Of Withering Dreams, launched the dark fantasy romance series with a haunting blend of passion and peril. Her work fuses atmospheric world-building with emotionally driven romance, often exploring themes of transformation, angst, and resilience.When she’s not writing or devouring stacks of romance novels, she’s usually globe-trotting, rocking out at concerts, counting down to spooky season, or singing karaoke (very poorly). She lives in the Midwest with her favorite creatures: her husband, their dog Audrey Shepburn (aka the goodest girl that ever lived), and their chaotic cat Stormy, who is equal parts villain and sidekick.Connect with Rowyn Adelaide:Website: www.AuthorRowynAdelaide.comInstagram: @authorrowynadelaideTikTok: @authorrowynadelaideConnect with Late Night Reads:Website: https://www.latenightreads.com/Instagram: @latenightreadspodcastTikTok: @latenightreadspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/LateNightReadsPodcast/Threads: @latenightreadspodcastEmail: [email protected]
