edit data

I'm a self-published author who generally has a dozen projects going at one time. Check out one of my completed series or follow along with what's currently ongoing.

I was born in Portland, OR and I will unashamedly claim that the PNW is the best place to be. Catch me with an iced coffee in hand, even in the rain and snow.

My main genres are romance and fantasy. Some of my content is very dark, but it varies by book/series, so please check the content warnings in each book before diving in!

I hope you enjoy my books and leave me a review with your honest opinion!

Quotes by Madilyn DeRose (?)

“I cannot love in the insipid way others do. What I feel is different; it's more. This thing I feel when I look at you is formidable. It burns through my veins and infects my mind with a weakness to you I've never felt. It's terrible.”

Madilyn’s Quotes

“Or walk out that door, but know that I won't just sit back and let you leave like he would. I'll chase you and drag you back to me because that's what you really want. You want someone that loves you with the same all-consuming desperation you've felt your whole life.”
