D. S. PALONEN
MAGIC x SCIENCE x LOVE
D. S. Palonen writes adventure-forward romantasy and science-fantasy because she likes her stories the way she likes the universe: full of strange logic, action, and the occasional quantum sparkle. Her books blend magic + science + love into worlds built for readers who want big feelings, bigger stakes, and characters who cling hard to the people they love.
When she’s not creating worlds, she’s usually hunting for the next great cup of tea, wandering through nature to refill her creative circuits, or sneaking extra snuggles from her grandkids, who supply a suspicious amount of her plot twists and joy.
