T. Aaron Cisco is passionate about creating worlds that captivate and inspire. His books have earned wide readership and chart success, including All The Blue is Beige, Pretty Girls Don’t Do Murder, and the Land of Bone trilogy (The Unbanished, The Unrested, and The Unbodied), all of which have topped various Amazon Bestseller Lists, along with his humorous memoir, Black Nerd Blue Box: The Wibbly Wobbly Memoirs of a Lonely Whovian.

He’s now expanding into new territory with Sweetgrass & Starlight, his first foray into romantasy. A comparatively new but passionate fan of the genre, Cisco brings his signature sense of atmosphere, character, and emotional intensity to a story where mythic wonder and speculative intrigue collide with a fiercely sensual romance. It’s a bold new lane for his work, and one he’s diving into with full-heart enthusiasm.

Beyond his own books, Cisco’s career is decorated with numerous accolades, including local Emmy Awards, the MN Society of Professional Journalists Page One Award, and recognition as one of the Ten Black Change-Makers Influencing the Twin Cities Arts Scene. He’s also been featured on Hennepin County Libraries’ prestigious Minnesota Black Authors list. At the heart of everything he does is an unrelenting commitment to “squee,” the pure joy and excitement that comes from sharing stories, celebrating imagination, and connecting with others through the power of creativity.
