Welcome to my corner of the internet, where fantasy meets romance and magic fills the pages. I’m Jen, an avid reader, writer, and dreamer, and this blog is my personal space to share my love for all things fantasy romance.
If you’ve found yourself here, it’s likely because, like me, you believe the there is something magical about falling in love amidst witches, ancient magic, and mythical creatures.
A Little About Me
I’ve always been captivated by the idea of magical worlds and the love stories that unfold within them. Growing up, my favorite days were those spent with my mom at the library. Her love of reading quickly became my love of reading, and I was especially drawn to stories where heart-pounding adventures lead to deep connections between the main characters.
The children and young adult fantasy books that started my obsession with fantasy romance:
- The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
- The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan
- The Mortal Instrument series by Cassandra Clare
- The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead
- The Black Mage series by Rachel E. Carter
When I’m not reading or writing, you’ll likely find me daydreaming about angst filled scenes, photographing my children, or enjoying a latte while curled up with my latest crochet or knitting project.
Why Fantasy Romance?
There’s something uniquely enchanting about worlds filled with magic, mystery, and of course, love. Whether it’s a fierce warrior discovering the power of vulnerability or a forbidden romance blossoming in a world full of secrets, there’s something undeniably powerful about the emotions fantasy romance can illicit in readers.
These stories often explore themes of self-discovery, transformation, and the resilience of love in the face of extraordinary challenges. I’m drawn to the juxtaposition of magic/power and heart. I get lost in how the fantastical elements elevate the emotions of the characters and the stakes of their romance.
For me, fantasy romance isn’t just about the happily ever after (although we all know how important those HEA are!). It’s about the journey – the trials, the betrayals, and, of course, the slow-burn tension that builds between two characters destined to be together against all odds.
My writing draws inspiration from these worlds, where love and adventure collide in the most unexpected ways.
What Will You Find Here?
On this fantasy romance blog, I’ll be sharing:
- Information on my own fantasy romance stories, from works in progress (WIP) to published books.
- Book reviews and recommendations of my latest fantasy romance reads. These will all be gems that I’ve fallen in love with, because let’s be honest, life is too short to read about characters we don’t love.
- Writing tips, insights into my creative process, and the magic behind crafting a compelling fantasy romance.
- Sneak peeks, character sketches, and updates on upcoming projects.
Why Should You Stick Around?
If you’re a fellow lover of swoon-worthy romance and stories that whisk you to fantastical realms, you’re in the right place! I created this blog to connect with others who are equally obsessed with the genre. Whether you’re here to explore new reads, get inspired by the creative process, or simply indulge in all things fantasy romance, I’m so glad you’ve stopped by.
Thank you so much for being here. I can’t wait to share my worlds and characters with you. I hope you find the same joy in reading my words as I do in writing them. If my posts inspire you to pick up a new book, start writing your own stories, or inspire you to connect with others who share our love of fantasy and romance, please let me know!
And if you are someone who also wished Harry Potter had more romantic subplots (hello Dramione fan fiction!) or still longs for a different ending for Rey and Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, then we will be great friends!
Let’s get lost in the magic together.
With love, Jen!
