A.R. Abbott Author
Immerse yourself in a world of cozy paranormal fantasy, with found family, slow-burn romance, and supernatural politics, written for readers who want danger without despair and love that changes the system instead of escaping it.
Current Series:
The House of Ward
This series delivers emotionally grounded paranormal fantasy set in a hidden supernatural world where power always has a price. Expect slow-burn, high-stakes love stories between morally complex immortals and determined protagonists who refuse to be owned by fate, by blood, or by ancient councils. Each book blends intimate character growth with dangerous politics, secret histories, and found-family dynamics, balancing romance and plot without sacrificing either. Readers will find sensual tension, loyalty tested under pressure, and heroines who claim their power on their own terms, all building toward hard-won happily-ever-afters in a world where survival is never guaranteed.
New Release:
Abiding Blood
When a deadly pandemic leaves Julian isolated in a remote mountain cabin, his best chance at survival arrives in the form of Vincent—an ancient vampire who needs Julian's blood as much as Julian needs his protection.
Forced to shelter together through a brutal winter, necessity becomes trust, desire, and eventually love. But Vincent is starving, other vampires are hunting the remaining humans, and loving Julian may make Vincent more dangerous than either of them imagined.
Abiding Blood is a hopeful post-apocalyptic MM vampire romance with forced proximity, survival, hurt/comfort, blood-feeding, found family, and an HEA spanning a human lifetime.

Writing & Production Schedule
I believe in writing with both heart and discipline.
To keep myself accountable—and to give readers a clear sense of what’s coming next—I maintain a public writing tracker that reflects my current progress in real time. The tracker shows how far along I am in drafting, revisions, and production for each upcoming release.
While working within a series, I follow a structured production schedule designed to release one book every three months. Each project moves through a focused cycle:
-
Drafting
-
Revisions & developmental edits
-
Line edits & proofreading
-
Formatting & production
Because I work in series, this rhythm keeps the story world immersive and cohesive while giving readers consistent releases they can count on. It also gives each book the time it deserves—without long gaps between installments.
This schedule reflects both creative momentum and professional commitment. Writing is my career, and I approach it with the same care, planning, and long-term vision that I bring to every part of my publishing business.
Thank you for following along. Your support makes this sustainable—and magical.
Questions & Answers:
Are these books for me?
If you like paranormal stories that are emotionally safe but still high-stakes—where the characters actually care about each other—then these books are for you.
How is it different than other books in the genre?
A lot of books in this genre focus on power or romance; mine focus on what happens after—building community, consent, and living with the consequences.
Is it spicy?
Yes there is spice, but the books aren't spice-forward. The books have a few open-door scenes that focus more on emotion and less on body parts, and in Book One of the series, Founded on Blood and Magic, the sexual content is intentionally uncomfortable because it involves the antagonist.
Do your books include LGBTQ+ characters?
Yes. LGBTQ+ characters are part of the world by default and exist openly without being singled out or explained. Their identities are not treated as plot devices or lessons—they’re simply part of who the characters are.
Are there trigger warnings?
Yes — Book One of The House of Ward includes emotional manipulation and a dark, non-romantic sexual encounter involving the antagonist. Later books include consensual sex, violence typical of paranormal fantasy, and themes of power and consent.
