Alina Bellchambers is an internationally award-winning and bestselling author of twisty thrillers and dark fantasies. Alina makes use of her psychology degree by writing seductive thrillers that delve into sinister themes of murder, manipulation, and obsession. She is the author of the psychological thriller ONE OF HIS (The Killer Between Us, Book 1) releasing January 5 2027 from Thomas & Mercer.

Inspired by her experience with neurodivergence and ‘masking’, Alina wrote THE ORDER OF MASKS and THE WEIGHT OF CROWNS, an epic romantic fantasy duology featuring strong female voices, enemies-to-lovers romance, and high stakes. Published by Hodderscape UK and Pan Macmillan Australia, THE ORDER OF MASKS became a national Dymocks and indie bookstore Alina Bellchambers is an internationally award-winning and bestselling author of twisty thrillers and dark fantasies.

Published by Hodderscape UK and Pan Macmillan Australia, THE ORDER OF MASKS became a national Dymocks and indie bookstore bestseller. THE ORDER OF MASKS found success as a US Amazon bestseller and was awarded an international Gold Medal for Epic Fantasy. THE WEIGHT OF CROWNS was also selected as one of three finalists for the Romantic Book of the Year (RUBY Award) in Speculative Fiction.

Alina grew up in her family's bookstore and now writes on a hobby farm in the picturesque Adelaide Hills of South Australia. While Adelaide is famously known as the “City of Churches,” its darker history also saw it dubbed the “City of Corpses”—a curious contrast for a psychological thriller writer. When not typing in her study and drinking copious amounts of tea, Alina enjoys connecting with readers, hiking with her feisty dog Scamp and being involved in the creative arts.

An active presenter and speaker, Alina is a frequent panelist at national pop-culture conventions and writing festivals across the country. She is also a member of International Thriller Writers. Alina has received invitations for national television interviews, and has been featured in major newspapers, national and metropolitan radio networks, and leading literary podcasts. Her recent acting appearances include the role of Constable Kira Gray in the acclaimed A24 horror film BRING HER BACK and a character role in music video THE GIFT, the lead single for Hilltop Hoods’ studio album, FALL FROM THE LIGHT. On social media, she has built a cross-platform community of over 50k followers, with her content generating multi-million views annually across Instagram and TikTok.

Does ONE OF HIS tap into your psychology background? I love thrillers that get deep into sinister or obsessive minds!

I've always loved exploring what drives people, especially when it comes to complex, morally grey characters (which you will find in all my books).

ONE OF HIS moves between the past and present in a high-stakes, dual POV race against time. We follow a female protagonist who has gone missing, and her police officer boyfriend who is desperate to find her while desperately trying to conceal their relationship from his colleagues. Meanwhile, she has been kidnapped by a serial killer, embroiling her in a dangerous, dark cat-and-mouse game where a calculated battle of power and control has just begun.

If you crave a psychological thriller packed with high-stakes suspense, moral complexities, a ruthless serial killer, and dark romance, I think you're going to love ONE OF HIS when it launches with Thomas & Mercer in January 2027! 🔪🖤(less)

We are doing full duet narration, and I actually just hand-selected the male voice actor myself—he has the absolute perfect, chillingly dark voice for the serial killer! And our female narrator is fantastic; she captures Eve's seductive, sharp tone flawlessly.

ONE OF HIS is receiving a massive global audiobook launch this January, courtesy of the incredible team at Brilliance Publishing. The audio pre-orders are rolling out across regions as we speak—it is already live on Audible for my fellow Australian listeners right now, with US, UK, and international links popping up very soon! You can keep an eye on the link in my bio to grab your copy the second it drops.

I honestly can't wait for you guys to hear it. If you love a really atmospheric, tense listen (with some dark romance), I think you're going to have a lot of fun with this one! 🎧🖤(less)

“Who did this to you?’ I breathed, tracing the raised red line with my eyes. It started at the base of his throat and continued up the left side of his neck, snaking around to the base of his skull. It reminded me of the criminals I had seen whipped on Aldara, but those wounds had never come up this high—”
