Nova Linwood is a paranormal fantasy author, creator of The Awakener Series, and a professional monster-maker. Drawn to the darker side of storytelling, she explores the shadowy parts, the uncomfortable sacrifices, and the fragile line between humanity and monstrosity. Her work is driven by a central question: What does it truly mean to be human when the monsters live within us?
Writing across paranormal, supernatural, and dark fantasy genres, Nova relishes stories where magic comes at a cost and every choice carries consequence. Her portfolio spans novels, novellas, and short fiction, often blending elements of romance, mystery, and thriller into richly layered worlds.
Alongside The Awakener Series, a dark paranormal fantasy of ancient worlds, new alliances, and power that always demands a price, she has also contributed to the Crow Town Book Two Anthology, and continues to develop new projects, including character-driven tales of shifters, vampires, and morally complex heroes.
When she’s not writing, Nova can usually be found fueled by copious amounts of coffee or tea, cooking dangerously spicy dishes, binge-reading gothic fiction, or quietly plotting her next dip into darkness.
If you’re drawn to stories filled with action, paranormal intrigue, (sometimes) romance, and a touch of the macabre, you’ll feel right at home in her strange and magnificent worlds.
