Victoria Covelheart is a Spanish-born author who’s been writing romance since she was 6 (back when her stories featured knights, dragons, and princesses, of course).

Yes, really—this week.

Multiple stories are playing out in her head at all times and writing has become her solace as well as her entire personality. Her writing can be described as dark and swoony, gritty and fantastical. When she’s not writing or reading, she’s taking care of her amazing family while thinking about writing. -
