Hi! I’m Antonia, and I write romantic fantasy stories full of magic, mess, and emotionally complicated characters. I’m based in Atlanta, Georgia, but I was born and raised in Napoleonville, Louisiana and eventually moved to Montgomery, Alabama before attending university in Mobile, Alabama. There was also a brief stint in Florida at some point, so clearly I feen for all things southern.

I’ve always been obsessed with ancient mythology, folklore, and the general art of storytelling, which led to a degree in anthropology and an exciting career as an archaeologist. The idea was to study humanity so that I'd learn how to write better characters, but I held a human femur for the first time and got sidetracked, as anyone would. I never lost sight of my first great love, however, and I eventually circled back to writing the kinds of stories I wish I could have been reading as that emo, 15-year-old girl that was secretly getting into adult fantasy under her blankets at night.

When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me binging any given anime (One Piece, no competition!), enjoying the hard work of other amazing authors, or marveling at the beauty of the world from the middle of the woods.

My debut series, the Mistress of the Veil trilogy, is launching through my very own Rosebud Publishing House, and it’s packed with action, adventure, and loads of spice that drives the plot as much as it makes you ache for more.

If you’re into found families, slow-burn chaos, and characters who need a hug and therapy, I think we’ll get along just fine.
