Scribe of Gothic and fantasy fiction for women, Richelle Manteufel grew up relishing the classics of Poe, Stoker, and the Brontë sisters. She discovered her passion for writing fiction at nine years old. Now a widowed mother of two in Spanish Fort Alabama, she can be found shopping for gothic fashion or writing in her Victorian-style office, record player blasting heavy metal.

Manteufel harbors minor obsessions for her cat Mr. Bingley, her jumping spider Princess Cirilla, and Johannes Eckerström from the Swedish metal band Avatar.
