T.M. Ghent
writing morally grey with a dash of blues
TM Ghent, author of the Lume Duology, likes to blur the morality lines which distinctly sit between hero and anti-hero characters, forcing you to question who really is wrong. Refusing to adhere to standard literary tropes, her stories break the mold and defy genres, such as blending fantasy world-building with sci-fi tech or historical plots in contemporary settings.
TM Ghent lives with her husband and two children near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, USA. When she isn’t lost in a story, she can be found making music in her local community band, heading to the movies with her husband, or raising her own little word-lovers.
