Tristen Crone is a romance author whose love for storytelling was shaped by her childhood immersion in historical romance novels. After initially pursuing songwriting, she rediscovered her passion for fiction through fanfiction, honing her craft in the Reylo fandom. Her debut novel, a contemporary romance centered on board games and hesitant love, is slated for release in 2023.
Drawing from her lifelong fascination with romance tropes and escapist narratives, Crone specializes in crafting stories about "two idiots too scared to fall in love." Her writing blends humor and heartfelt emotion, often infused with her love of pop culture, travel, and board games. Born and raised in South Africa, she now resides in Maryland with her husband, surrounded by shelves overflowing with books and games.
An avid traveler and self-proclaimed fangirl, Crone channels her enthusiasm for Disney, show tunes, and cinematic storytelling into her work. When not writing, she can be found exploring new destinations or binge-reading late into the night.
