Nalini Singh, born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand, is a prolific author known for her paranormal romance novels. Her journey as a writer began as early as she can remember, with all her stories weaving a thread of romance—even those about princes with laser-shooting eyes. Singh's passion for creating unique characters and crafting happy endings is evident in her work, making her one of the most beloved authors in her genre.
Prior to becoming a full-time writer, Singh led a diverse professional life, including stints as a lawyer, librarian, candy factory general hand, bank temp, and English teacher. These varied experiences have enriched her storytelling, providing ample grist for her writer's mill. In 2002, her dream of becoming a published author came true when Silhouette Desire acquired her first book, Desert Warrior. Since then, she has continued to live her dream, producing bestsellers and receiving accolades, including Quiet in Her Bones being a finalist in the Ngaio Marsh 2022 Awards and receiving an option by Showtime Networks.
Singh's work has not only topped bestseller lists including the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal, but it has also been recognized for its impact and contribution to the romance genre. For instance, her debut novel Slave to Sensation was featured in Oprah Magazine’s The 27 Greatest Romance Novels to Read In Your Lifetime, and her books frequently appear on highly anticipated lists and receive high praise from critics and readers alike.
When not writing, Singh is an avid traveler, drawing inspiration from her journeys across Asia and beyond. She currently resides back in New Zealand, continually plotting new adventures both on the page and in life.
