edit data

Raluca M. Matara writes romance and women’s fiction that celebrate diversity and center LGBTQ+ identities—with a special focus on sapphic love.

A Romanian who publishes exclusively in English (she blames her brain’s default settings), Raluca occasionally genre‑hops when a story demands a different canvas—always with authentic emotion and strong character arcs.

When she’s not writing, you can find her working on a new drawing, devouring books, or at her nine‑to‑five corporate job.

Happily partnered, she believes the best love stories are lived first and written second.
