About Me

Hey guys, I'm Carrie Mellem. After four successful careers and twenty years of searching, I finally found my true passion—writing romantasy. I’m the debut author of The Sunbound Saga, coming in 2026, a series full of magic, passion, and the kind of escape I’ve always loved about reading. I’m a travel lover at heart, but my two all-time favorite spots will always be Keawakapu Beach, Maui and Seabrook. WA.

When I’m not binge reading the next best romance, romantic fantasy, rom-com etc., you’ll find me sipping a decaf coconut milk latte with cinnamon, snuggling my Bernedoodle Odie, or soaking up inspiration from the misty beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

The Sunbound Saga is a romantasy series set in a kingdom powered by the sun, where four siblings are bound by prophecy, magic, and impossible choices. With spicy romance, dangerous secrets, and a fight to protect their world, the saga is a journey of love, loyalty, and the cost of destiny.
