Welcome, traveler! I’m Brittany Hymes, author, ink-spiller, and founder of Indies & Ink.

I’ve been running away into my own stories for as long as I can remember, and honestly, I never plan on coming back! Writing has always been my secret doorway out of reality. When I first wrote Imprisoned, I was a teen who couldn’t get enough of books like The Hunger Games and Divergent. I wanted to be strong like Katniss, fearless like Tris… so I created Alaster to take those epic adventures for me. She was bold, stubborn, and still figuring herself out, just like I was. Now, I see writing as more than escape. It’s my adventure. When I write, I’m not just imagining bravery, I am brave. I am fearless. So far, I’ve unleashed The Imprisoned Trilogy into the world, but I’m brewing up my next big journey, a fantasy trilogy inspired by the seven deadly sins and bursting with Egyptian vibes. It’s coming soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
