If anyone knows how to make the darkness sparkle, it’s Teal Collins. This St. Louis native is a lover of all things dark and mysterious. Her stories are full of strange creatures, supernatural secrets, and love that doesn’t always play by the rules. When she’s not writing, you can find her sipping Dr. Pepper, plotting twists to dark classical music, and talking to her characters like they’re real (because they are…sort of).
Her debut novel, Calling Emery, launched readers into a world of danger, desire, and just the right amount of sparkle and she’s currently working on the sequel, where everything gets deeper, darker, and way more complicated.
Follow her on TikTok @followtheshimmers, or catch her whispering story ideas into the void somewhere between reality and chapter twenty-three.
