Cross's writing career began after she read Jane Eyre as a teenager. She was deeply impressed by the Gothic love and romantic settings depicted in the novel, which inspired her to explore similar themes in her own work. This interest in Gothic romance is evident in Cross's popular series, such as The Vessel Trilogy and Age of Gray, which feature mysterious settings, brooding characters, and strong heroines. Cross's writing is influenced by the works of authors like Juliet Marillier, Nalini Singh, and Charlotte Bronte.
In addition to her work as a writer, Cross is also an active presence on social media, where she connects with readers and shares updates on her latest projects. She has a strong following on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Cross is represented by Rachel Brooks at BookEnds Literary Agency. When she is not working on her next project, Cross enjoys spending time with her family, binge-watching her favorite shows, and enjoying a glass (or two) of red wine.
