edit data

Cara N. Delaney is an author of sapphic and bisexual fantasy and romance books. After meandering through a writing degree, different genres, and several languages, she eventually settled on the romantic side of fantasy. Their work revolves around capable, kind and courageous women, who just so happen to love other women and also sometimes ride dragons.

Cara’s work aims to let queer women be seen in genre literature, and celebrate the joy of living your life openly just the way you are.

(As of 2025, I will rate no more books, just catalogue them. Old ratings stay up, but I won't add any more.)
