My Darling Reverie

Raised in rural Ohio, she found her creative spark early in poetry, a medium that taught her how to distill raw emotion into rhythm. But it wasn’t long before those verses turned into something deeper—darker. Now, she crafts worlds where obsession burns hotter than love and where her morally gray characters make readers question their own limits. Haunting Adeline, Satan’s Affair, and their companion stories aren’t just page-turners—they’re conversations about fear, power, control, and surrender.

Carlton’s writing is immersive and emotionally charged, dripping with tension and layered with themes of psychological manipulation, forbidden attraction, and the terrifying intimacy of vulnerability. Her breakout success has made waves internationally, landing her on bestseller lists like USA Today and The New York Times, but it’s her loyal readers—the ones who embrace the chaos—who have truly fueled her rise.

When she’s not weaving her brand of beautifully twisted romance, she’s binge-watching paranormal documentaries or fantasizing about life under the sea. Her characters may live in the dark, but her imagination is limitless—and unapologetically wild.
