Andrea Darklighter is an LGBTQ author writing emotionally immersive fiction shaped by survival, service, and the stubborn hope of second chances. With a background in emergency management and emergency services, she brings grounded realism to rescue, aftermath, and recovery, while keeping the heart of the story on the people inside the uniform.
Her work often returns to the Pacific Northwest, where storm season, salt air, and tight-knit towns create both refuge and pressure. Her debut novel, The Words We Didn’t Say, follows a former tactical medic and a small-town artist turned dispatcher as they navigate trauma, love, and what it means to stay.
