Romance with Teeth — Dive Into Torque Stone’s Dark Worlds
Torque Stone writes dark romance for readers who want to feel something sharp.
A Cherokee Nation tribal citizen born and raised in Indian Country in northeast Oklahoma, she brings the weight of heritage, grit, and lived experience into every story she writes. With over 40 titles and more than a dozen currently published through Draft2Digital, her work dives into obsession, power, devotion, and the kind of love that binds, scars, and transforms.
She’s also juggling a couple of serials on GoodNovel — the kind she wishes she hadn’t started, the kind they want her to continue — but her heart belongs to the worlds she builds on her own terms.
A lifelong, voracious reader, she grew up on horses, creek water, and stories. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her swimming in cold, clear spring‑fed creeks or arguing with Gidget, her spoiled half‑grown calico who keeps her awake all night. (That’s when the best chapters get written. Gidget insists on co‑author credit.)
She’s a mother of five — four boys and one ornery daughter who inherited every bit of her mama’s fire. Her youngest, Shiloh Alon, is 14; her oldest, Ronique Isean, is 37. She’s also an endowed scholar with degrees she’s never used, because storytelling has always been the real calling.
Torque Stone writes for readers who crave romance with teeth — stories that linger, stories that bruise, stories that burn.
