Thea is a NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY Bestselling Author. She used to have a black lab at her feet when she wrote, warming up the calves. It can be cold in rural Nova Scotia. Now it's just a cuppa tea keeping her warm.

Her urban fantasy pulses with dark themes and action-packed intrigue. Her characters are always deeply wounded creatures struggling for redemption.

Rebranding Vampires

Weird. I love vampy stuff and I figured I would love making the covers for my Vampire Addictions series, but….I just didn’t.


They have some steamy romance, so I thought a hot man chest on the cover would be apropos. Alas, that’s just not my style. I hated it.


There’s also some adventure, mystery, thriller, dark edges too. So I really took a hard look at what I wanted the cover to convey.


I’m still no

Realm of Ash by Thea Atkinson
"Usually fantasy isn’t really my thing. But I absolutely loved this. I loved the characters the build. All of it. Can’t wait for more.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review."
Realm of Ash by Thea Atkinson
"Realm of Ash gave me everything I love —dark fae vibes, forbidden magic, and a slow-burn romance that kept me guessing. The worldbuilding is rich, the main character is a badass, and the tension? So good. I flew through this and already need Book 2!." Read more of this review »
A Secret in the Ashes by Thea Atkinson
"Shadowy Secrets & Slow-Burn Stakes

This book surprised me in all the right ways! A Secret in the Ashes blends fantasy, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes tension into a story that’s hard to put down. The chemistry between the leads is intense without " Read more of this review »
A Secret in the Ashes by Thea Atkinson
"Kit Ashe had given up on her younger sister Ava years ago, thinking her a drug addled wild child, she could no longer try to wrangle into a normal lifestyle. She hadn’t heard from her in ages, usually just phone calls where she breathed down the line" Read more of this review »

Herman Melville
“Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure. Consider also the devilish brilliance and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the dainty embellished shape of many species of sharks. Consider, once more, the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began.

Consider all this; and then turn to the green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half-known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!”
Herman Melville, Moby Dick
