Tessa McGuire grew up in a quiet Ohio town, but her imagination was never small. From the sixth grade onward, she filled notebooks with stories and sketches, chasing shadows and weaving myths long before she knew they would become her calling. Now 27, and a devoted mother of one, she writes dark urban fantasy romance-tales where witches walk cursed forests, fae lords rise from forgotten constellations, and desire burns as dangerously as prophecy.  

Though her stories are steeped in shadow, her light comes from her family and closest friends, who remain the heart of her world. With their love at her back, Tessa is finally chasing the dream she's carried since childhood: becoming an author. For her, creativity has always been ritual-drawing, writing, and conjuring worlds where beauty and ruin entwine. Her work blends gothic atmosphere with raw intimacy, crafting stories that linger like smoke and leave readers haunted by both passion and peril.
