Author bio

Kendra Moreno writes romance that likes to wander. One book drops into a poisoned Wonderland, another into a clockwork airship, another onto a Wyoming ranch. That restless, curious energy feels true to her whole career.

She has said she was telling stories before she was even reading them. As a kid, she brought picture books to show-and-tell and made up stories from the art. She kept writing through school, and by the time college came around, choosing a path was not much of a mystery.

She studied at the University of Houston and graduated in 2014 with a BA in creative writing and a minor in marketing.

That mix of craft and business turned out to matter. Moreno went the indie route, started publishing in 2018, and built her career book by book. By the end of 2020, after a year of heavy publishing and treating writing like a full business, she had become a full-time author. By early 2021, she was supporting her son with that work.

Her books move across dark fantasy, paranormal fantasy, gaslamp and steampunk adventure, epic fantasy, and dark contemporary romance. Readers who start with Mad as a Hatter usually meet the side of her work that loves twisted fairy tales, gore, romance, and dangerous worlds. Clockwork Butterfly shows her steampunk streak, with airships, inventions, and expedition-style adventure. Heartless as a Tin Man pushes deeper into her shared dark-fairytale universe, while Barbed Wire Hearts proves she can take that same emotional intensity and drop it into a modern cowboy setting.

She likes big premises, but the emotional hook is usually simple. Her characters are often women pushed out of ordinary life and into places that are stranger, harsher, and more magical than they expected. They have to learn fast. They also tend to find love in messy situations, whether that means monsters, ghosts, pirates, fairy-tale kings, or men who look dangerous for very good reasons.

One of the clearest through-lines in her catalog is worldbuilding. Moreno has said she is especially proud of her Sons of Wonderland universe, a long-running web of connected books that kept growing over the course of her career. Even when the setting changes, there is a similar feel to her stories: strong plot, high emotion, a taste for the eerie, and a willingness to let romance sit beside blood, magic, or mayhem.

Off the page, her public bio is playful. She lives in Texas, jokes about being a secret spy, and cheerfully leans into her geek side. She has written about being a mother, about wanting her son to see what it looks like to chase a dream, and about building a life around stories. She has also shared a few smaller details that fit the tone of her books, a love of Star Wars, scuba-diving dreams, and a home life that includes a hellcat and a hellhound.

That grounded part matters. For all the monsters and madness in her fiction, Moreno often comes across as someone who simply loves telling stories and keeps finding new ways to do it.
