Meet the Author

Hi, I’m Alexis Vorpahl (also writing as Adalynd Grayves), and I write romantasy across the cozy, cursed, and chaotically paranormal.

Sometimes I wrap readers in magical comfort and soft spells. Other times, I hand them immortal disasters and cursed soulmates. My stories are always character-driven and filled with heartfelt magic, chaotic devotion, and emotions that linger long after you’ve read ‘The End.’

ALEXIS VORPAHL

Romantasy That Feels Like a Hug

As Alexis, I write cozy romantasy with heart, healing, and a little soft chaos. These are the stories that wrap you up like a warm hug and leave you glowing.

I love writing about fated mates, slow-burn romance, magical comfort, and happily-ever-afters that feel earned and safe. If you’re here for cinnamon roll soulmates, found family, or grief softened by magic, you’re in the right place.

ADALYND GRAYVES

Cursed Romantasy with Chaos and Devotion

As Adalynd, I dive into the darker side of romantasy: where the love runs deep, the magic runs wild, and the monsters kiss back.

I write enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance, angsty fated mates, and paranormal romantic comedies that are equal parts cursed and unhinged. It’s devotion sharpened like a blade and chaos with twisted consequences you may not see coming.

Comfort is optional. Emotional damage is likely, and the morally gray always win.

ONE WRITER. TWO NAMES. INFINITE FEELS.

Whether you’re here for magic than mends, soul-deep romance, or just want to scream about emotionally complicated immortals, I’ve got you—safely tucked inside the pages of my books.

A bit about me besides the writing:

I am from the majestic state of Arizona, where you can enjoy the sand dunes one weekend and the snow the next. I love tacos, and thrive on Dr. Pepper Zero. I enjoy gaming, from TTRPGs to Fallout and Minecraft.

I’m a mom and proud caretaker of a tiny in-home zoo complete with reptiles, arachnids, amphibians, and more.

When I’m not writing or reading romantasy, I am either momming or gaming (TTRPGs, Fallout, and Minecraft are my favorites), you can also find me training in Krav Maga or cheering my kiddo on as he learns karate or shows me his latest robot LEGO build.

I adore all things Halloween and have a deep love for horror, both in fiction and film. I also love a good epic fantasy when the mood strikes right, and I am prone to watching Howl’s Moving Castle all the time.

At the end of the day, my favorite place to be is with my family, crafting a life that’s a little chaotic, a bit magical, possibly feral too, but always full of love and cherished memories I adore piling up.

I also appreciate every single one of my readers who keep me going when the night is darkest, and I think about giving up. You and my family are the reason I keep writing the way I do.
