edit data

Gale writes the kind of mm dark/gray romance that makes you question your life choices in the best possible way. When not crafting morally questionable characters doing questionable things, she can be found buried in a book, rolling dice in yet another D&D campaign, or frantically crocheting while binge-watching whatever series has stolen her soul.

She is a gaming enthusiast, horror movie aficionado, and BL manhwa collector who believes the best stories live in those deliciously gray areas. Between wrangling her four kids and making elaborate to-do lists (that will definitely be ignored), she is always down to geek out over a good book rec or debate which problematic character deserves more love.

Gale Tate liked Bryson Parker's review of IMMERSED (Virtual Vice, #1): "This book was layered with horror, gore, humor, spice, and romance.

Quotes by Gale Ian Tate (?)

“It wasn’t fear for his project. It wasn’t even concern about his methods
being exposed. Nor was it about losing the artist or the voice or the beautiful broken instrument he'd been creating.

It was pure, unbridled terror”
― Gale Ian Tate, Discordant Cultivation

“This man had hunted him and comforted him. Kissed him and killed him. Hurt him and violated him and was violently possessive and protective in equal measure. He wasn't just a walking red flag; he was the bubbling vat of dye that made the flags red at the red flag factory.”
― Gale Ian Tate, IMMERSED
