“We put on a pot of tea, a necessity between these two writing friends..."

We are so happy to have you join our little dark corner of the internet! Crimson DuBois is the penname of a writing duo based in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. We like to say Crimson DuBois is our extroverted personality. Both being introverted writers and readers; Crimson DuBois is a way for us to branch out and experience things we were always hesitant to do before.

The duo met by complete happenstance in Downtown Seattle and the rest became history. Together they bonded over their love of books, writing, and media. One day, while they were out hiking they made a joke that two very different characters knew each other…and well. That joke was no laughing matter and they went on to discover that many of their characters are connected and in the same worlds. 

They found that when one person had a new character worming their way into their brain, the other had the counterpart. They went on a journey to discover that they had a knack for writing dark stories, and dark romance being the forefront of that. With that, Crimson DuBois was born.
