Chelsea O'Hara

Chelsea O’Hara writes psychological thrillers grounded in real life — inspired by experiments, human behaviour, and the darkness we try not to see. She’s fascinated by the fragility of memory, the strangeness of isolation, and the way ordinary people fracture under extraordinary pressure.

Her stories mix unsettling psychology with sharp, human edges — a little horror, a little heartbreak, and just enough dark humour to keep the lights on. She likes to say she writes about the things people prefer to ignore — the whispers in the walls, the truths we bury, and the shadows we pretend not to see.

Why did she start writing? She couldn’t tell you. Maybe to make sense of the chaos, maybe to lean into it. She’s always been fascinated by the human min

Hi, I am Sotto.

It is my shadow in my profile picture, taken fourteen years ago. I was around 3000 meters high (approx. 10000 feet) on a mountain called Rinjani. It was near dawn, and I was about to miss the sunrise on the peak as it was still a distance (vertical!) away. The terrain was difficult; I wasn't in tip-top condition since I hadn't been climbing for a long time. Nearing the peak, I slid down two steps for every three steps I took. It was exhausting; I considered quitting and kept questioning my existence and objective.

I didn't quit and reached there in an embarrassing amount of time. I missed the sunrise but, thankfully, also the sunrise crowd and had the peak all to myself. It was awesome. The mountain has a beautiful turquoise-c

Mehmet Çalışkan

Hello!

I am a thinker driven by curiosity, seeking to understand the world. As a financial risk analyst, psychologist, and philosopher, I work in these fields and synthesize knowledge from psychology, philosophy, evolution, cosmology, finance, and ancient history in my books to offer readers a unique perspective.

I am not a fiction writer; my works focus on delivering maximum insight with minimal words, rather than unnecessary motivational phrases or fantasy worlds. Sometimes my books present familiar ideas from a new angle, and sometimes they pose unconventional questions.

Some of my works include:

Money Doesn’t Change, But You Can – A journey into financial and personal awareness.

The Mind’s Operating System – Analyzing personal transformation

Now, living in Australia, where the sharks are generally larger, (and seemingly have more close-encounters with humans), she doesn’t surf - but she loves to kayak, paddleboard, walk/hike, and spend any minute she can with her husband. Together, they travel often, especially to Japan, where her heart feels at home.

Introducing myself as an aerospace engineer by day and an avid lover of sports, literature (including books, comic books, and graphic novels), movies, TV series, traveling, and photography, I have always harbored a deep desire to create my own story. However, I have never been confident in my writing abilities with pen and paper. Fortunately, I have discovered a way to bring my creative ideas to life with the help of 3D software and Photoshop.

Drawing inspiration from my favorite literary works such as "The Lord of the Rings," "Ender's Game," various manga series, and video games such as "Dragon Quest" and "Final Fantasy," I am currently in the process of creating and self-publishing an original action-adventure comic series.

Romance is fun and bedroom scenes should sizzle. I write strong, dependable heroes, feisty heroines with brains. And of course… all the kisses, all the swoons!

I live in the beautiful Malvern Hills, in the middle of England. I’m an educator by day and a writer by night, I’m married to an artist and enslaved to a huge tuxedo cat. Tea and Bradley Cooper addict.

My whole life I have loved reading of all kinds, but romance has been my greatest passion since I was eleven and read Jane Eyre for the first time. My favourite romance authors writing today are Elizabeth Hoyt, Mariana Zapata, Talia Hibbert and Charlotte Stein.
