Taylen Carver

Taylen Carver writes fantasy shaped by deep history, high stakes, and the quiet power of found family. Her stories aren't bound by tropes—they’re rooted in myth, political undercurrents, and the kind of lived-in worldbuilding that makes the magic feel real. Whether it’s contemporary fantasy, dystopian saga, or something harder to name, Taylen’s work always delivers one thing: hope in the face of ruin.

A finalist for the Aurealis Award for best fantasy novella in 2023, Taylen is one of the pen names of award-winning author Tracy Cooper-Posey. With over 200 titles to her name, Tracy writes across romance, science fiction, and fantasy, always drawn to the echoes of long-forgotten truths.

She writes from Edmonton, Canada, fueled by Irish Breakfast tea, chocolate, and the kind of fiction that stays in your bones for years.
