Jacquelyn Gilmore

State: Texas

Jacquelyn Gilmore is a decade‑long experienced author with a BA in English literature, based in Austin, Texas. She specializes in dark high fantasy and science-fiction romances that center on villains and antiheroes, inviting readers into morally complex and often terrifying worlds. Her debut adult novel, The Elf Witch (Book 1 in The Plot of the Six Saints series), blends Norse and Romanian mythology into a richly atmospheric saga that subverts traditional "chosen one" narratives. Rather than focusing on noble heroes, Gilmore explores the darker arcs of villainous characters finding satisfying HEAs. Her writing champions depth, moral ambiguity, and immersive storytelling. An obsessive reader and lover of villains, she engages fans through social media platforms like Instagram, Threads, and Pinterest, and regularly shares unique bonus content, cultural resources, and writing insights via her e-newsletter.
