The story of Eden Fortae does not begin with a little girl carrying composition notebooks everywhere or writing stories at a young age.
It begins with a depressed young woman silently stumbling through life.
After the death of her grandfather, she couldn’t tell up from down. With a child that depended on her, she had no choice but to pull herself together. Like most people during that time, she turned to the internet in search of ways to cure her depression.She found a group of kind women who used The Sims 2 to tell beautifully detailed stories using pictures from the game. Although the sadness was still there, the desire to tell her own stories provided a break in the clouds.
A dreamer and hopeless romantic by nature, she began writing serial fiction based on dreams while using some of her own experiences without shying away from the drama, ugliness of the world, or tough subjects. What was once a distraction from her pain became a passion. One that uncovered an unrealized dream.
She joined Wattpad in 2012, where she learned to take chances and risks. Encouraged by fellow Wattpad users, her first book was self-published in 2018 with a few more following shortly after.
Forever inspired by those women and motivated by family, her goal is to leave a mark on this world by telling the love stories of flawed characters who deserve a happily ever after.
In addition to being a somewhat reformed tomboy, she is a self-taught baker, seamstress, amateur illustrator, and a professional introvert residing in the expensive state of Maryland.
