Elena Daren is an emerging voice in psychological fiction, known for stories that blend literary depth with page-turning suspense. Her work explores how memory can distort reality — and what happens when the version of ourselves we trust begins to fall apart.
With a background in cognitive psychology and creative writing, Elena brings a human, emotionally grounded perspective to her storytelling. Her characters are never just "plot devices." They feel like real people — conflicted, layered, and haunted by their own inner worlds.
Elena lives in Portland, where she writes, researches the psychology of memory and identity, and develops her next novel.
