Tjalara Draper
Hey Hey!
I’m Tjalara Draper, a small town Aussie who's started turning my whimsical daydreams into the written and bookish format.
My dream of becoming an author has been a fascinating journey of making friends with other authors and meeting readers who enthusiastically enable my book buying addiction.
I’m inspired to craft stories that resonate with readers of all ages. My writing is a testament to the power of imagination and the boundless possibilities of the human spirit. I'm a sucker for complex and wild characters who tend to have a mind of their own and take my stories where I never expect.
I love exploring the ability to forge worlds and magic systems for all my favourite genres—paranormal, fantasy, and sci-fi—all dappled with action,

Dear readers,

First of all, thank you so much for reading my book(s).
This is my pen name. I live in a rural part of the United States with a husband, our kid and a giant, goofy, crazy dog.
I worked in the sciences for about twenty years but writing dark romance/fiction was always my true calling.
Dark stories have occupied my mind since too young of an age. At first, I used to repress them or write them to throw them away but I slowly learned that wasn’t good for my mental health. Reading and writing dark stories is therapeutic for me. Writing them flushes the demons from my mind, and reading teaches me I’m not alone. I publish them because I know there are others like me, who need to explore the darkest corners of their minds. This does -
Cora Kent
Cora Kent fell for her first villain before she even knew what romance was. Ever since Scar was denied a happily ever after, she’s been on a mission to give all the dark, dangerous anti-heroes the endings they deserve. If the Big Bad Wolf had swept Little Red off her feet, it might have saved the fairy tale—so that's exactly what Cora does in her novels: grants her bad boys redemption through passion, power, and the women who can handle them.

When she’s not spinning tales of morally gray heroes and forbidden desires, you’ll find her snuggled up with her cat, sipping a margarita, and watching Grey’s Anatomy. -
