Iwan Ross is a multi-genre author with a passion for weaving tales oozing with romance and supernatural intrigue. Raised by a mother figure, he quickly found solace in the local library, where his love for reading took root. It was there, as a junior staff member, that he had a strange encounter with a fellow reader. A book tumbled to the floor, its pages rustling as if unseen fingers were flipping through them. Wide-eyed, he let out a primal scream and bolted to the librarian. She simply adjusted her glasses and said in her signature German accent, “Ah, you’ve met Julia.” Since that fateful day, Iwan has had a best friend who shares tales spanning centuries. His love for Paranormal Romance was born, and he has spent years trying to reunite his otherworldly companion with her long-lost family.
When not conjuring up supernatural stories, Iwan is a keen recipe designer. Married to a former chef, he spends countless hours in the kitchen making a mess and perfecting recipes inspired by flavors from around the world. Together, they run two successful cooking blogs, Smoking Chimney and The Cooking Cat, where Iwan’s writing makes every dish sound so delicious, you might find yourself licking the screen.
As for fitness, Iwan exercises his fingers daily—crafting vivid worlds, breathing life into unforgettable characters, and conjuring antagonists so vile, they remind him of his math teacher.
When people ask him, “What’s one thing no one knows about you?” he simply grins and says, “I’m a Scorpio.” Shiver me timbers, that is scary!
To this day, Iwan continues searching for his missing father, Gilbert Ross, a journey that led to his success as a podcaster with a voice described as “keeping listeners on the edge of their seats.” Originally from South Africa, he dreams of moving to Scotland, where he believes his father is waiting for him.

In the depths of twilight’s embrace, beneath the eerie glow of the moon, a haunting melody rises from unseen lips. Ghostly children sing—a spectral chant that lingers in the air, chilling the soul. They sing of the Sandman, the keeper of dreams, the master of nightmares.
"By moonlit veil and starry sight, We summon the Sandman, bringer of fright. Through shadowed realms and sleep’s abyss, He weaves his magic, sealing dreams with a kiss..."
For one unsuspecting family, the Sandman is no mere legend. Their new home, a grand but forsaken manor, harbors secrets that stir in the dead of night. He watches. He whispers. He touches. With an eye for the women of the household and a deep understanding of their desires and fears, he weaves a web of manipulation—one dream at a time. But in the realm where nightmares take form, is escape even possible?
Incubus is a chilling, darkly comedic tale of seduction, illusion, and the fine line between dreams and possession. Sleep if you dare. But beware—the Sandman always collects.
