Selene Mariposa writes dark, atmospheric romance from the rainy quiet of Seattle, though her heart has always belonged somewhere hotter and older.
Born in Miami to a Cuban-American mother and a French father, she grew up strawberry blonde and stubborn in a house where two languages tangled at the dinner table and storytelling was just another way of saying I love you. That mix of French and Gulf blood is the same braid that runs through the bayou she writes now, and maybe that is why the Hollow felt like home the moment she found it.
She was always the one telling stories, the one who could hold a room with a slow smile and a good lie well told. It took a gentle shove from someone who believed in her to finally put those stories on the page. Once she started, she could not stop.
Everything she has goes into THE HOLLOW, her Southern Gothic series set deep in the drowned parishes of Louisiana, where old families keep older secrets, debts are paid in blood, and love is the most dangerous thing you can owe. She writes morally grey men who feel too much and pretend to feel nothing, and women with their own darkness who stop apologizing for it. She is a little obsessed with these characters. She is not sorry about it.
When she is not writing, she is married to her college sweetheart and chasing four loud, wonderful kids who keep her laughing and keep her honest. There is usually coffee going cold beside her keyboard and a candle burning that smells like something she cannot afford.
Come find her in the Hollow. Every debt gets paid.

They send me to the ones who will not come quiet. I poled into her cut at first light to bring her in, and she laid her hands on me like I was the one dying, and something in me that the order had hollowed out for years opened like a door, and would not close again.
