✦ fiction writer & certified overthinker

Stories that live in your head rent-free

Welcome to the corner of the internet where plot twists are a love language and every character has at least one questionable decision. I'm Teya Wren, and I write fiction that sticks.

"I just need to read one more chapter" — everyone, always

Hi, I'm Teya.
I write the stories I couldn't stop thinking about.

I started writing because I kept ruining other people's books by predicting the endings — so I figured I might as well write my own. Turns out, making things up is significantly more fun than being that person at book club.

I write fiction with humour, heart, and a suspicious number of characters who make terrible decisions. My stories live somewhere between "I can't believe that just happened" and "okay but that makes complete sense."

When I'm not writing, I'm definitely not rereading my own work and telling myself it's research.

things I research for "the book": crime scenes, medieval medicine, how to disappear 😬
coffee consumed per chapter: approximately yes
my characters: deeply flawed. my intentions: entirely good.
plot holes? I prefer "narrative air pockets"
