Twyla Menezes

Twyla Menezes is an indie author who blends the haunting with the heartfelt. Her work ranges from unsettling psychological horror to dark academia romance, with each story steeped in atmospheric tension, complex characters, and emotionally charged narratives. As a dedicated mother of two boys and a pack of lively fur babies, Twyla thrives in a whirlwind of caffeine, chaos, and the magic of storytelling. When she isn’t lost in her imaginative worlds, she’s tackling college homework and navigating her internship, all while daring to dream big.
