D.M. Darcy

dark fantasy romance for those who desire stories that challenge conventional fantasy tropes in favor of philosophical exploration
of internal conflict,
power dynamics,
& moral ambiguity.

D.M. Darcy has been a fan of the darker side of fantasy for centuries. Finally, she's stepped into the light to give storytelling a whirl. When she's not writing, you can find her tucked away in the wilds of northern New York hiking, photographing love stories, traveling, or on the couch cuddling a tiny rooster.

She’s an avid fan of rainy days, stained glass windows, and an aficionado of all featured creatures. D.M. Darcy first put pen to paper during the late 1900’s weaving fantastical stories about badass women in worlds meant to leave you breathless.

She lives in New York with her husband, son, and indoor tiny rooster.
