Why I Write Paranormal Romance

You ever pick up a book and think, This is it. This is what I want to do? That was me when I stumbled into paranormal romance. It was like the universe whispered, This is your jam. And honestly? I haven’t looked back since.

I write paranormal romance because I love the idea that love—messy, complicated, beautiful love—can exist in a world where magic, supernatural creatures, and the impossible aren’t just possible but totally normal. There’s something irresistible about blending romance with the unknown. It makes everything feel bigger, more intense, and way more exciting.

Let’s be real—normal romance is great, but throw in a brooding vampire or a werewolf with a tragic past, and suddenly, that slow burn gets real spicy. The stakes are literally life and death, and I live for that kind of emotional rollercoaster. Plus, let’s not forget the drama. Paranormal romance is a goldmine for angst, tension, and that sweet, sweet moment when love conquers all—even curses, rivalries, and centuries-old feuds.

But it’s not just the drama that keeps me coming back. It’s the escape. Life can be dull, predictable, and downright exhausting. Writing paranormal romance lets me step into a world where anything can happen. It’s a world where a girl can fall in love with a demon, a ghost can have unfinished business, and fate itself is a force that refuses to be ignored. That’s the kind of magic I love to create—because, deep down, don’t we all want to believe there’s something more out there?

And then there’s the characters. I love writing characters who aren’t just dealing with love—they’re battling their own inner demons (sometimes literally). The vampire who’s terrified he’ll hurt the woman he loves. The witch who swore she’d never trust anyone again. The shifter who’s hiding a secret so dark he can’t even let himself be happy. These kinds of characters make my heart ache in the best way, and writing their journeys is just as rewarding as reading them.

Plus, let’s be honest—paranormal romance lets me break rules. In contemporary romance, there are expectations. You have to stick to certain realities. But in paranormal? Anything goes. Want a romance that spans centuries? Go for it. Want to create your own mythology? Have at it. Want a love story that defies time, space, and even death? Absolutely. Writing paranormal romance is pure creative freedom, and that’s something I never take for granted.

At the end of the day, I write paranormal romance because it feels right. It’s a mix of everything I love—romance, mystery, danger, magic, and just the right amount of spooky vibes. It lets me explore emotions in ways that feel larger than life, but still deeply human. And honestly? It’s just plain fun.

So yeah, I could write about ordinary love in an ordinary world. But why settle for ordinary when I can write about love that defies the supernatural, bends the rules of reality, and proves that nothing—not even death—can stand in the way of true love?

That’s why I write paranormal romance. And I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon.
