J.R. O'Brien, the Norwegian author of "The Wolf in Her Veins" and "Portrait of a Stalker" (also known as Gothicc Hel), is a neurodivergent Dark and Paranormal Romance writer, fluent in English and Norwegian.

Despite being disabled, she has managed to overcome her challenges with two published novels, with more on the way.

When she's not writing, she's reading, playing games, or bouncing ideas for new novels off her loving American husband, who frequently begs her to take a break.
