M.L. Hancock writes stories that linger long after the last page is turned—whether it’s a haunting dark romance where love collides with danger, or a chilling supernatural thriller that creeps into your dreams. Raised in sunny Brea, California, by two everyday heroes—a nurse and a police officer—she grew up surrounded by stories of courage, compassion, and resilience.
Her debut novel, The Cost of Her, drew readers into a world of passion, betrayal, and sacrifice, cementing her place as a bold new voice in dark romance. She then ventured into the realm of gothic horror with The Haunting of the Khalil Property: A Terrifying Supernatural Thriller of Haunted Families, Dark Obsession, and the Dead Who Refuse to Rest, a gripping tale that blends family drama with bone-chilling suspense.
Now living in Illinois with her spirited eight-year-old son, M.L. draws inspiration from both the shadows and the light of life. Her dark romances pull readers into worlds of secrets and survival, while her supernatural tales send chills down the spine—and her children’s books capture the innocence of childhood and the unbreakable bond of family.
When she isn’t writing, you’ll likely find her behind a camera, tending to her flowers, or curled up with a book and a cup of tea. Through every page, she invites readers into experiences that are raw, real, and unforgettable.
