About
Dark romance author | Storyteller of obsession, guilt, and love that hurts beautifully
Maria lives in Iceland with her family, balancing a corporate career she loves with a long-standing obsession with storytelling.
She started writing as a teenager, mostly dark and slightly disturbing short stories—which, in hindsight, makes a lot of sense. Over time, her stories evolved into what they are today: emotionally intense romance with a darker edge and just a little (or a lot of) spice.
Her husband now serves as her unofficial editor, a role he didn’t exactly apply for but somehow can’t escape.
When she’s not working or writing, she’s usually at the gym, traveling, or enjoying a glass of wine—often while thinking about her next scene.
Maria is a deeply emotional writer, fully invested in her characters, and not immune to crying over scenes she’s writing.
