edit data

Kayla Parent has written over 150 digital stories and amassed hundreds of millions of reads across a dozen different platforms.

Depending on her mood that day, she writes—and loves—both romance and horror. Her goals are to either make you fall in love with her characters, or frighten you enough to worry that one of them is hiding under your bed.

She currently lives in Boston with her swoonworthy husband, her sweet son and her mischievous beagle, Gus. When she's not writing, she's usually reading. She's enamored with historical romance, mythology, folk tales and true-life crime. She's also a self-proclaimed champagne enthusiast, a chronic daydreamer, and popcorn fanatic.

Oh, and I love Instagram. Follow me!

“You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.”
― Richelle Mead, Frostbite

“I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.”
― Shana Abe
