About Me

Hi there! I’m A.L. Hampton, and like so many of you, I’ve been completely obsessed with books for as long as I can remember. There’s nothing quite like getting lost in a story. You know that moment when you look up and realize hours have vanished? That’s my happy place.

I’m head-over-heels for fantasy, urban fantasy, romantasy, and anything dark and paranormal. And yes, I’m totally here for the spice! After years of devouring every book I could get my hands on, I started wondering, “What if I combined all my favorite elements into one series?” That’s how the Crown of the Seven Realms was born.

I’m a sucker for witty banter and characters who feel like real people: flawed, funny, and fierce. When I’m not writing and torturing my characters, I’m running my small candle business. And when I’m really off the clock, you’ll find me gaming on Xbox or exploring the gorgeous Pacific Northwest with my patient husband and two spoiled dogs.

My background is a bit all over the place: an A.A. in Criminal Justice, a B.S. in Psychology, and an M.Ed. in Education. Turns out, studying human behavior comes in handy when you’re building believable characters and relationships.

As a debut author, I’m beyond excited to share these stories with fellow book lovers.

Welcome to my world
