Why I Write Children’s Books Alongside Dark Fantasy
I’m Lyn Rose, a bestselling Australian paranormal romance author and children’s books author. My writing spans two worlds—dark fantasy romance for adults and emotionally rich, imaginative fiction for kids. If you’re searching for unforgettable paranormal romance books or heartfelt stories for young readers, you’ll find both here.
My adult fiction lives in the realm of dark fantasy romance and paranormal romance, where vampires, supernatural politics, and morally complex relationships shape stories of power, desire, and survival. My flagship series, The Sixth Accord, explores these themes through dangerous bonds, supernatural hierarchies, and heroines who refuse to be diminished.
At the same time, I write children’s books that centre imagination, emotional safety, and belonging — stories created to support young readers as they make sense of the world.
Stories for Children: Belonging, Laughter, and Imagination
As a mother of eight, including three sons with learning disabilities, I’ve seen firsthand how stories can regulate, comfort, and empower children. My children’s books are written to affirm curiosity, gentleness, and self-worth.
The World Is Too Loud
A lyrical picture book for sensitive children navigating an overwhelming world, celebrating softness as strength.
Mokie’s Adventures (Book One: Mokie the Silly Sausage Dog)
A playful, humorous series following a mischievous dachshund whose curiosity leads to joyful chaos and heart.
The Day My… Series (Book One: The Day My Backpack Ate My Lunch)
A high-energy, cartoon-style series filled with imagination, humour, and school-day mayhem.
Down Under: A Journey Through Australia
A rhythmic exploration of Australia’s landscapes and wildlife, celebrating curiosity, movement, and wonder.
Coming Soon
My children’s catalogue continues to grow with upcoming titles including:
When Stories Take Flight — a heartfelt story about creativity, reading, and self-belief.
Wings of the Lost Sky — a middle-grade fantasy about winged beings, ancient secrets, and destiny.
What Leo Saw — a tender story about noticing beauty where others overlook it.
Why Both Worlds Matter
Though they appear different, dark paranormal romance and children’s literature are connected by the same core themes: survival, courage, and identity.
Whether I’m writing about vampires and supernatural power or children learning to trust themselves, my work explores what it means to endure — and to choose who you become.
