About T.L. West
I've always been captivated by a single question:
What if the myths we tell are just the fractured echoes of a forgotten history?
This has been the driving force behind my creative world since I was young. My lifelong passion for the legend of Atlantis, combined with a fascination for the unexplained mysteries of our own world, from the strange, unsolved disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle to the whispers of lost histories, informs every story I write. I truly believe that magic isn't gone; it's just become better at hiding.
That curiosity is why I love to create worlds where ancient power bleeds through into modern life, and forgotten heirs are forced to trade survival for sovereignty. I'm drawn to the outcasts and the survivors, and I love crafting character-driven stories that explore the grit and will required not just to endure history, but to rewrite it. For me, the goal is always to ground the mythic in the personal, finding the heart of a story not in a grand prophecy, but in the found family a hero chooses to protect .
Right now, I'm preparing my debut epic fantasy novel, the first installment in the Atlantis Unbound saga, which has been years in the making. When I'm not lost in research rabbit holes or charting the coordinates of mythical islands, I live in the United States with my very patient husband and our dogs, who offer questionable moral support but excellent company.
