Explore this seriesAuthor bio
Apryl Baker grew up in a small town in the southern mountains of West Virginia, where the woods were made for roaming, climbing trees, and getting into a little harmless trouble. At night, she read Nancy Drew under the covers by flashlight until her parents told her it was time to sleep.
That mix of mystery, shadows, and small-town life still runs through her work.
Baker has said her imagination rarely gets quiet, which helps explain the wide range of strange things waiting in her books. Ghosts, witches, demons, reapers, shapeshifters, old family secrets, and dangerous people all have a place in her stories. She also loves scary movies, even though they scare her, a contradiction that feels right at home in her fiction.
Reading became especially important during the grounded-kid stretches of childhood. A first romance novel, given to her by an aunt, opened another door. Along with mystery and paranormal stories, it helped her see that romance could carry danger, humor, fear, and big feelings all at once.
She began writing stories while she was young, often making her friends the main characters. It was a simple start, but it pointed toward the kind of writer she would become: someone interested in putting ordinary people in wildly abnormal situations and seeing how they fight their way through.
Her early novel The Promise introduced the witchy world of New Salem. Later, The Ghost Files brought readers to Mattie Hathaway, a teen who can see and speak to the dead. The series combines high-school problems, supernatural investigations, and the kind of menace that keeps showing up after dark.
The supernatural side of Baker's catalog keeps expanding. The Crane Diaries heads into New Orleans and the Louisiana bayou, where old powers and dangerous secrets are never far away. The Reaper Chronicles follows Ella Grace Banks as she learns what it means to be a living reaper, while the Bloodlines Legacy books turn toward family history, hidden identities, and paranormal trouble in Jacob's Fork, West Virginia.
She also writes contemporary romance. In Touch Me Not, the first Manwhore novel, Lily Holmes and Nikoli Kincaid begin with a risky deal that asks both of them to face old pain. The Kincaid books keep the focus on intense relationships, loyalty, and the complications that come with a close-knit family business.
Across the genres, Baker tends to return to family, found family, secrets, grief, and the courage it takes to trust someone when life has taught you not to. Her characters may face monsters or magic, but they also worry about school, love, loss, and whether they can keep the people they care about safe.
She now lives in a small West Virginia town, spends time with her family, and still gets a kick out of watching birds swoop down to tease the local cats. The cats, she has noted, are not amused.
For Baker, stories are meant to entertain, unsettle, and give readers a place to escape for a while. There is usually danger around the corner. There is often a mystery to solve. And there is almost always someone who refuses to give up.
