About the author
Iris Meridian
She writes romantasy adventures for readers who stay up past midnight for one more chapter.
The writer
Love stories with real stakes, and dragons that stay wild.
Iris Meridian writes romantasy adventure: two people, a world with dragons in it, and a love that has to be earned. Her debut, Dragon Mother, opens the Meridian trilogy on June 29, 2027.
Her fiction is slow by design — worlds that ask to be walked, not sprinted through. The dragons are never the love story, but they are never set dressing either. They are ancient, scaled, sovereign, and very much present.
She answers the readers who write to her. She always will.

How I work
Slow craft. Deep worlds. No shortcuts.
The long game
Every book begins with years of listening. She does not rush the world into existence — she waits until it insists on being written.
Built to last
She builds for re-readers. A first visit should be satisfying; the fourth should still surprise. Nothing is placed on the page by accident.
The mountain method
Distance from the noise is not a retreat — it is a requirement. The quiet keeps the work honest.
The Dragon Watch
A letter from the mountain, every Sunday.
Quiet observations, small revelations, and the latest on works in progress. No marketing (except for my books). No “tips.” Just the Dragon Watch.
