Fantasy author who lives in chaos mode


Book 2 is currently in the hands of some lovely beta readers who are reading ARC's of Desiccate.
Stay tuned for more updates!!


Lorelei Matthews is a new adult fantasy and supernatural author, living in the blurred spaces between light and dark, where grief is a love language, power always comes at a cost, and no one is ever purely hero or villain (because honestly, what’s the fun in that?).
With a BA in Creative Writing and English in her back pocket, Lorelei is the author of nightmare coda, featured in the dreamcaught anthology, with additional works to come.
When she’s not dismantling fictional souls, she can be found spending time with her husband and children in the wilds of Colorado, obsessing over Doctor Who, vampires, video & board games, and loving the fictional villains she shouldn't.
Taking place immediately after Desiccate (out June 2026!), nightmare coda is a short story by the author that explores Jaicyn’s journey following the conclusion of Desiccate. As part of the Gates of Destiny Series from Shadow Spark Publishing, this tale delves into Jaicyn's uncertainty about whether she is sleeping or dead, forcing her to confront the numerous sins of her past while being offered a chance at redemption.
Mikela Daniels believed she was living the perfect life, spending her days on the sunny beaches of California while pursuing her anthropology degree. However, her days of solitude are abruptly shattered when she is compelled to return home after the devastating news of her parents' death, a place she never imagined she would revisit. As she grapples with her grief and the animosity towards her sister, Mikela encounters a pair of remarkable beings who dramatically alter her life; transforming her into the first human vampire hybrid. As she navigates this transformation, Mikela must learn to manage her new reality and discern who is genuinely on her side and who wishes to use her to fulfill an ancient prophecy. This journey, part of the captivating 'Gates of Destiny Series' by an emerging author under Shadow Spark Publishing, challenges her to traverse a dark new world. Will she be able to overcome the shadows that threaten to desiccate her spirit, or will she succumb to something much, much darker?
