Salem Hurley

Salem Hurley writes genre-blending fiction with teeth. Her stories straddle the line between psychological suspense and slow-burn romance, with just enough control to make you question who's really in charge. Whether it's a missing person case or a twisted obsession hiding in plain sight, she builds tension from the inside out, one flawed character at a time.  When she’s not writing, she runs Burn & Bloom Press, drinks dangerous amounts of Community Coffee, and spoils her readers with early access and ARC chaos. You can find her books on Amazon, her unfiltered thoughts on Threads, and her serialized fiction live on her blog.  Before diving into fiction full-time, Salem worked as a 911 dispatcher, a job that taught her exactly how fast things can go from calm to chaos. During her time behind the headset, she helped deliver three babies and earned five lifesaver awards.  She now lives in the high desert of Oregon with her husband and two dogs, where the skies are wide, the coffee is strong, and the ideas never stop. She’s currently in a deeply committed fictional situationship with her MMC, Grayson, though future book hero Coulson is making her question everything, including the benefits of why choose.  Theirs to Hunt is the first book in her Girls Like Us series.  Heads up: Some of her books are closed-door. Some are absolutely not. Check the description or you might end up knee-deep in dicks without realizing it. The covers should clue you in, but she doesn’t want anyone wondering how they landed in a ménage when they thought they were buying a cozy mystery.
