Adrienne Hiatt

Adrienne Hiatt is a shield-maiden and a scholar whose pen is sharper than her sword. As a lifelong lover of stories, she writes characters searching for belonging, healing, and the courage to be fully themselves. Whether she is crafting cozy fantasy adventures, found-family tales, or slow-burn romances, her stories are filled with heart, hope, and the belief that even the most weary traveler deserves a place to call home. Her novel, Between the Shadow and the Soul, was born from a fascination with the people behind the spotlight—the quiet struggles, sacrifices, and humanity hidden beneath fame. Inspired by her love of music, K-pop, and character-driven storytelling, she set out to explore what happens when a person recognized by millions is truly seen by someone. When not chasing plot bunnies, Adrienne can usually be found frolicking through the woods with dragons and fairies, and battling trolls with equal parts magic, logic, and witty one-liners. She also enjoys Asian-pop playlists, strong coffee, excellent tea, cozy bookshops, late-night conversations, and curling up with a good book by the fire.
