Trista Ricketts

Trista Ricketts lives in Texas with her amazing husband, two sons, and three black cats. A lifelong lover of fantasy, mythical beings, and the paranormal, she always dreamed of becoming a writer. Though life took her on a different path, her passion for storytelling never waned. On a whim, she decided to write a story, and that single spark ignited a series she is now eager to share with the world.

Her debut novel, "Lahaina Noon: Modern Legends of Dragons and Shadows, Book One," blends urban fantasy with epic battles of good versus evil, drawing readers into a world where dragons and magic wielders fight against the dark forces of the Shadow Claw.

Trista found her stride with the breakout paranormal rom-com series My K-9 Is A Demon, following Officer Kelly "Chuck" Charles and her not-quite-ordinary K-9 partner, a demon named Malachi, as sparks and shenanigans collide. The series has climbed to #1 in both Paranormal Romance and Police Romance on Amazon, and its popularity earned it an audiobook deal, with the series now brought to life by narrator Corvin King.

Now Trista is heading into darker territory with her upcoming trilogy, Compulsions of the Damned, a dark paranormal romance series for readers craving something with more bite.

Whether she's writing dragons, demons, or the damned, Trista invites readers into worlds where magic and mayhem collide, and love always finds a way to survive the shadows.
