Jamie Dalton writes supernatural fiction that blends vampire mythology with psychological depth and historical intrigue. She holds a BA (Hons) in English with Creative Writing and an MSc in Psychology, which she draws upon to craft complex characters that feel genuinely human within their paranormal worlds.
Obsessed with vampires in books and media, Jamie is known for her atmospheric storytelling and creating characters that feel genuinely alive and emotionally authentic. A devoted fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Anne Rice, she brings her own perspective to the genre she loves most, offering a fresh take on vampire lore that is praised for its gritty realism.
Rather than creating typical paranormal romance, Jamie uses her writing as a tool to delve into deeper themes often unexplored in the genre, including grief, identity, moral ambiguity, and the cost of survival – resulting in stories where the supernatural elements feel both grounded and psychologically authentic. Known for her haunting, contemporary voice and immersive world-building, her writing has been described as both lyrical and emotionally raw.
​
Jamie's passion for history across various periods often weaves its way into her fiction, while her Scottish heritage – with family roots stretching back generations to Edinburgh and Orkney – influences both her storytelling sensibilities and some of her readers' favourite characters. She's particularly drawn to creating characters who feel distinct and alive, from their mysterious backstories and unique voices to the internal conflicts that drive both plot and emotional depth.
​
Based in Sheffield, she spends much of her time devouring vampire literature and media, diving deep into historical research, and analysing supernatural television with her husband.
​
The Gloaming is her debut novel and the first in the Blood of the Revenants series.
