Delphine McClelland

Delphine McClelland, born in Statesville, North Carolina, attended Statesville Senior High School before graduating from the University of Tennessee—Go Vols! She now resides in Charlotte, North Carolina, the city where she set her first Adult Paranormal Romance novel about Kairo and Skylar.

As a lifelong reader with a passion for books and vampires, writing Dark Obsessions came naturally to her. However, the publishing process proved to be challenging, with obstacles at every turn. Despite moments of doubt, Delphine’s loyal friends and family kept her motivated, and their unwavering support helped her see the project through to completion. Thanks to their encouragement, Dark Obsessions rose from the ashes, much like the phoenix.

Dark Obsessions is the Award Winner in the Romance: Paranormal/Supernatural category of the 2022 American Fiction Awards and also took Third Place in the Fiction > Fantasy-Dark and Fiction > Fantasy-Paranormal & Urban categories at the Fall 2022 Bookfest Awards.

Melissa Yue loves all things spooky (but not too spooky, please). When she’s not saving the neighborhood squirrels from her dog’s machinations, she can be found obsessively researching ghost stories, local lore, and cultural mythologies over bubble tea—half-sweet, and preferably with grass jelly instead of pearls.

Her work is informed by her experiences in the Chinese-Canadian diaspora community, her previous career in English as a Second Language education, and all her nerdy interests in Asian dramas, K-pop, webtoons, anime, and gaming. She graduated from the University of Victoria with a B.A. Applied Linguistics, and she views her writing, like many of her endeavours, as a way to connect back to her roots.
