Rooted in the misty landscapes of Tennessee, Delaina Sleigh is a dark rock musician, Gothic orchestral composer, and author of atmospheric paranormal romance. Her debut novel, Blackwood, blends vintage aesthetics with haunting lore, inviting discerning readers into worlds where dark academia meets deep passion.

When she isn’t weaving complex romantic shadows on the page or crafting heavy melodic compositions under her musical moniker, Sleigh, or studying for her accounting degree, she is celebrating becoming a first-time grandmother . She shares her creative sanctuary in Gainesboro with her partner Keagan, a full six-player hockey lineup of children, a majestic Corgi named Tater Tot, and a notoriously grumpy guard cat named Sweater.
