Darby McNaughton is a LGBTQ+ author who focuses on fantasy fiction and romance. They spent their childhood enraptured with stories like Lord of the Rings, the Labyrinth, and Pirates of the Caribbean. With a wild imagination, she started writing stories at the age of eight years old. While her stories at that age were nothing more than fan fiction, (Teen Titans x Winx club crossover if you must know) they had always longed to create something more.

Darby currently has three WIPs:

• Dirty Laundry: Olive Peterson was living her best life in the big city. That is until she was fired from her job and forced to move back home to her worst nightmare— Her mother. Olive had given up friendships, opportunities, and the boy she loved to escape her narcissistic mother’s tyranny, and now she was forced to return home and formulate a new plan.

• Unnamed WIP: Amarynn was tired of being alive. Cursed by dreams of a fantasy world with the same faces each night, she felt like she was being taunted by a better life. That is until one of those faces shows up to take her away, giving her a second chance to find her true family.

• Unnamed WIP: The Queen has been let down by the King one too many times. After he falls through on another promise, the Queen decides to distance herself from the lavish but empty life she led. She’s joined by her closest compatriot, her bodyguard who has grown tired of watching his King mistreat the best woman he knows.
