Taylen Carver

Taylen Carver writes fantasy shaped by deep history, high stakes, and the quiet power of found family. Her stories aren't bound by tropes--they’re rooted in myth, political undercurrents, and the kind of lived-in worldbuilding that makes the magic feel real. Whether it’s contemporary fantasy, dystopian saga, or something harder to name, Taylen’s work always delivers one thing: hope in the face of ruin. A finalist for the Aurealis Award for best fantasy novella in 2023, Taylen is one of the pen names of award-winning author Tracy Cooper-Posey. With over 200 titles to her name, Tracy writes across romance, science fiction, and fantasy, always drawn to the echoes of long-forgotten truths. She writes from Edmonton, Canada, fueled by Irish Breakfast tea, chocolate, and the kind of fiction that stays in your bones for years.
