Carmen Wilder is a lover of iced coffee and e-books. She is a cat mom with an affinity for walking pads and staying up late. Her favorite trope is the stepbrother trope, and her favorite book is "For the Fans". She's a Libra who spends her free time reading and watching movies. Her favorite musical artist is Taylor Swift.
Carmen is a self-proclaimed pantser - she doesn't plan out her books with extensive outlines and storyboards. Rather, when she has an idea, she just runs with it and lets the characters take the stories from there. She wrote four books before publishing her first book. She loves taking creative risks with her writing and leans towards a poetic, fragmented format.
Carmen is currently reworking her first book "We Were Fine" which is anticipated to release in November of 2026. She will then begin work on Book 2 in The Northbound Series which will focus on Rhys's best friend from "Still", Blake. She would also love to explore the Dark Romance and MM Romantasy genres, so stay tuned.
