About T. R. Belle
Following the thread of what if.
T. R. Belle has been carrying stories for as long as she can remember. An eclectic writer with a love of the written word, she follows her imagination wherever it leads—from thoughtful short fiction and poetry to sweeping worlds of high fantasy.
The story behind the stories
A life shaped by words, stages, and making.
Her debut collection, The Diary of Unlived Lives, began with a story prompt at an introspective moment and grew to include ten stories exploring life, loss, choice, and possibility.
Based in the American Southwest, T. R. holds a bachelor’s degree in education and has a background in theater arts. She shares a small but lively creative studio with her partner, Drgn, where they decorate hats for fantasy and Renaissance festivals.
When she is not writing, she can usually be found working with fabric, fiber, and her hands—turning stray ideas and beautiful materials into something that did not exist before.
