Maura-Ann Cairns writes dark, emotionally charged romance with a taste for the gothic and the morally gray. Her debut novel, A Love Written in Blood, is the first in a haunting trilogy filled with desire, betrayal, and flawed heroines who refuse to be tamed. As a neurodivergent writer with dyslexia and a processing disorder, Maura-Ann knows what it means to be underestimated. More than once, she's been told her writing felt "too good" to be hers-but every word comes from her own hands, heart, and sleepless nights. Her stories are her truth, and she's proud to be telling them. When she's not writing, she's sipping tea, spoiling her guinea pig, or losing sleep over books that break her heart (in the best way). She's just getting started-expect more twisted love stories and characters who live in the shadows. Find her on Instagram and TikTok @authormauraann.
