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 my grandfather, I couldn’t tell up from down. With a child that depended on me, I had no choice but to pull myself together. Like most people during that time, I turned to the internet in search of ways to cure my depression. I found a group of kind women who used The Sims 2 to tell beautifully detailed stories. Although the sadness was still there, the desire to tell my own stories provided a break in the clouds.

A dreamer and hopeless romantic by nature, I began to create stories based on dreams while using some of my own experiences without shying away from the drama, ugliness of the world, or tough subjects. What was once a distraction from my pain became a passion. That passion uncovered an unrealized dream.
I joined Wattpad in 2012, where I learned to take chances and risks. Encouraged by a few kind authors, my first book was self-published in 2018 with a few more following shortly after.
Forever inspired by those women and motivated by my family, my 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, I’m a self-taught baker, seamstress, web illustrator, and a professional introvert.
