Amber V. Nicole’s publicly available author profile is concise, but the outlines of her development are clear. She is identified in publisher and reader bios as a U.S.-born dark fantasy writer whose work blends romance with horror elements and a strong attraction to morally gray characters. In interviews, she has said that the story that became Gods & Monsters had been with her since high school and before college, and that she originally expected to pursue veterinary medicine while writing on the side. She has also traced part of her creative formation to paranormal romance, especially the work of Jeaniene Frost, which helped convince her that she could build this kind of world herself.
