About Me


Who I am:
YA dark fantasy writer, English professor.
Hallowmere blurbs:
"A luscious read.” -Shannon Hale, Newbery Honor-winning author of Princess Academy
“IN THE SERPENT'S COILS is a rich, earthy, engrossing novel that heralds Tiffany Trent as one of the best dark fantasy writers of our time. I was completely mesmerized by her tale, and deeply gratified in the end. Bravo!” -David Farland, New York Times bestselling fantasy author
“If you're looking for gothic spooky, this novel is for you. It's the kind of book that makes you want to snuggle up on the couch with a cat and some hot chocolate. Tiffany does a fabulous job creating an eerie atmosphere. Seriously, you look up from the novel and expect to see fog around your ankles and a taloned hand reaching for your neck...” –Sarah Beth Durst, author of Into the Wild
“Spooky and compelling, In the Serpent's Coils feels both authentic and surreal. At turns dark, inventive, and exciting, it's definitely the start of an exceptional series.” -Cherie Priest, author of Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Wings to the Kingdom, etc.
“Equal parts spine-tingling and intoxicating, this is one historical fantasy I can't wait to reread.” —Jennifer Lynn Barnes, author of Golden and Tattoo
"If childhood nightmares could be alchemically distilled into prose, In the Serpent's Coils would be the result. Part gothic horror, part history, all dark imagination, the book is a masterpiece." -Ree Soesbee, author of the Elements trilogy
"This has 'winner' written all over it." -Bookviews.com
"Fueled by mystery, fantasy, history, faeries, and fear, In the Serpent's Coils catches its audience with the perfect blend of magic and realism." -Lisa Oldoski, Young Adult Librarian
