Author bio

Adelaide Forrest writes dark romance under her own name and fantasy romance as Harper L. Woods. Whether she is working with mafia families, fae courts, or witch schools, her stories tend to circle the same big feelings: obsession, danger, control, and love that asks too much.

Books came first. Writing followed close behind.

In her official bio, Forrest says she fell in love with books when she was young and started writing soon after. She wrote short stories as a kid, then moved into full-length fiction at just ten years old. Long before publishing became part of her everyday life, she was already collecting premises, characters, and scenes, building the private idea vault that would later feed so many series.

Before readers knew her for Bloodied Hands or What Lies Beyond the Veil, she studied psychology and worked at a therapeutic riding facility. After her daughter was born, she became a stay-at-home mom. In 2019, after years of thinking about it and storing up book ideas, she finally gave publishing a real shot.

She has said she has hundreds of story ideas tucked away, and that tracks.

Under the Adelaide Forrest name, she is best known for dark contemporary romance. The Bellandi Crime Syndicate books are a good example of her style in that lane: interconnected mafia romances, new couples in each book, and a larger family world that keeps tightening around everyone involved. Beauty in Lies shows another side of her work. Instead of swapping to a new couple, that series stays with Rafael and Isa across multiple books, letting one obsessive relationship unravel and rebuild in slow, painful stages.

She clearly likes writing characters who do not get the easy version of love.

Then there is Harper L. Woods, the fantasy pen name she uses when she wants bigger mythology and stranger worlds. What Lies Beyond the Veil opens with a shattered barrier between humans and fae and grows into a sweeping dark romantasy. The Coven turns toward witches, buried history, and a secret school with a dangerous man at the center of it. The genres shift, but the emotional logic stays familiar: high stakes, sharp chemistry, and people making choices that cost them something.

Across both names, a few patterns keep showing up. Her heroes are often possessive, feared, or morally wrecked. Her heroines usually have to push back against systems built to control them, whether that system is a crime family, a kingdom, a church, a magical court, or a school. The books are not interested in soft edges. They are interested in pressure, power, and the moment a character decides what they will survive for.

These days, Forrest lives in New York with her husband, two children, and the dog and cat that show up regularly in her bio. She also mentions travel, chocolate, chai tea, and time with family when she talks about life away from the page. It is a grounded picture, which feels a little funny in the best way, given how often her stories head straight for chaos.
