Evangeline Anderson is a bestselling author known for her steamy paranormal and sci-fi romances that combine imaginative storytelling with emotional depth.
As a registered MRI technician by trade, Anderson left the medical field in 2011 to pursue writing full-time, embracing a creative passion that has been brewing since childhood. She lives in Florida with her husband, son and two cats, juggling family life with her prolific writing career.
Born into a family of Salvation Army ministers, Anderson grew up moving around the southern United States, living in states such as Florida, Texas, and Virginia. This nomadic upbringing instilled a deep respect for Southern values, including kindness and thoughtfulness, which she strives to reflect in her interactions with fans.
Evangeline Anderson began writing stories as a teenager, often burning her "scandalous" early drafts to avoid shocking her parents. Her serious foray into writing began in 2002 when she discovered fanfiction. This sparking of a love of storytelling eventually led her to take a writing course and sell her first story in 2004. Since then, her vivid worlds and complex characters have earned her a loyal following, primarily through her popular Brides of the Kindred series, which explores romantic and sensual relationships in a futuristic, interstellar setting.
Anderson's passion for writing stems from her love of world-building and character creation. She describes the creative process as exhilarating, likening the joy of storytelling to an addictive high. Her work resonates with readers who find escapism and comfort in her books, a sentiment Anderson holds dear.
In addition to her popular Kindred novels, Anderson has written numerous series, including Born to Darkness, and stand-alone works exploring love, danger, and fantasy themes. Her success as an indie author stems from her commitment to creative freedom, which allows her to write without restrictions and deliver fresh, compelling stories that captivate her audience.
When she's not writing, Anderson enjoys reading, binge-watching Netflix shows, and indulging her inner nerd by playing video games like Diablo.
