Hi, I’m Taleah Graves, a writer who’s learned a lot about failure and even more about persistence. I’ve spent the first portion of my adult life discovering what I wasn’t good at, or what I didn’t care enough about to finish, often with my failures on full display. But through every misstep, I found something enduring on the other side: writing.

I love writing. More than that, I love stories—fantastic, dark, genre-twisting stories about love and betrayal, with just a touch of magic (or maybe more than a touch). Magic in writing, to me, is a bit like garlic in cooking. The recipe might suggest 1-2 cloves, but that’s a limit I happily ignore.

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me in Spokane, Washington, curled up with my dogs and a good book, seeking shelter from the winter cold.
