Meet the author: Rowan Tixie
Welcome to Rowan's House of Blood & Ink. Here, you'll discover the mind behind "of fate & ruin" and the dark, enchanting worlds I craft. Learn about my journey, my inspirations, and what drives me to write stories that blend the beautifully haunting with burning desire.
The inspiration behind "of fate & ruin"
My desire to mix the beautifully haunting with burning desire is what truly inspired "of fate & ruin." I want readers to experience a rollercoaster of emotions—heartwarming highs and tear-jerking lows—as they delve into its pages. My aim was also to introduce a universe where dark fantasy and sci-fi can coexist, each with its own heartbreaking story. Prepare for a journey that will stir your soul and leave you breathless.
A journey through generations: From fantasy to sci-fi
My writing journey holds a unique secret: my universe will not remain solely fantasy. The overarching story of The TixieVerse follows a family's bloodline, tracing their lineage from ancestors to descendants through the ages. As time flows, the genre will gradually shift from dark fantasy into futuristic sci-fi, while always maintaining elements of romance and dark themes. There will always be moments where we jump back to earlier times, ensuring a rich and evolving narrative experience.
Beyond the page: My passions and pursuits
Beyond writing, I am a passionate lover of the dark, the macabre, and all things fantasy (from superheroes to magic and anime). My interests extend into the unseen, as I am also a paranormal investigator. When I'm not writing or exploring the unknown, you might find me avoiding crowds to play a video game or delving into the mysteries of unsolved true crime. These passions deeply influence the worlds and characters I create, infusing my stories with an authentic sense of mystery and enchantment.
