About

Written slow, on purpose.

Owen Rivers writes the kind of paranormal romance that lingers in the fog rather than rushing through it, with moody nature imagery, small-town secrets, and a found-family pack at the center of every book. The stories draw on Appalachian folklore and atmosphere as inspiration for original fiction, not as a claim to any real tradition.

The Lunar Claimed series began with Cursed Wolves of Lanier, set on the misted shores of a small Georgia lake town, and has grown into a five-book arc built around a single prophecy that’s been waiting a long time to come due. A standalone gothic vampire romance, Carmilla, is next.
