D.R. Downey

I’m a dog mom, writer, reader, and professional over-thinker who finally decided to start putting the stories that have lived in my head for years onto the page. What started as a hobby quickly turned into an obsession of its own. I live with my husband, who jokes that while his hobbies cost money, mine somehow makes it.

When I’m not writing, I’m usually cooking, reading romance novels, or sending memes about fictional men to my favorite book buddy. I also do a lot of my writing in the middle of the night, when normal people are asleep and my brain is busy inventing morally gray men.

I love writing men who would burn the world down for the woman they love, and stories where devotion sometimes walks the line between romance and danger.

If you love complicated characters, red flags, and happy endings, we’ll probably get along just fine.
