A LIFE FULL OF STORIES

Between the everyday and the extraordinary.

K.T. Carpenter is a Texas-based author, wife, and mother whose passion for storytelling is as boundless as the worlds she creates. Between balancing her corporate career and raising a family, she weaves tales of magic, romance, fate, and powerful bonds that linger long after the final page is turned.

Her completed Kingdom of Aetherlyn series is a romantasy that follows a princess destined to share her soul with a dragon—her fiercest protector, closest friend, and greatest strength. It is a story that lived in K.T.’s heart for years, one she finally brought to life through a world filled with magic, unforgettable characters, and the enduring power of love and destiny.

She is also the author of Drowning in Fate, a dark romantasy standalone featuring shifter kelpies, sirens, magic, and a love story forged beneath the waves.

K.T. recently collaborated with her longtime best friend and fellow author Danny Burns on the dark, witchy why-choose romance Coven of the Crimson Veil.

She is also wrapping up her next dark romantasy, The Golden Reaper, slated for release in November. Inspired by Valkyries, gods, death, and war, the novel explores a fierce and unforgettable romance that challenges both fate and the gods themselves.

Never one to stay away from the darker side of fantasy, K.T. is already immersing herself in her newest work in progress, The Mourning Saint, blending haunting gothic atmosphere, ancient gods, immortality, reincarnation, and a love that transcends two millennia.

When she’s not lost in her fictional worlds, K.T. finds joy in the simple things, such as reading, baking, traveling, and making memories with those she loves. She treasures late nights spent dreaming up her next twist, her next unforgettable character, and the next story that will leave readers thinking about it long after they’ve reached the end.

With each new book, she invites readers to step inside, lose themselves in the extraordinary, and forget the world... if only for a little while.
