Brianna Malotke is a daydreamer and poet based in the PNW with over 90 publications in various literary journals, anthologies, and magazines. She’s had a love for writing poetry since junior high school when she entered her first contest with an assortment of poems about Earth Day. Her poetry is rooted in love and nightmares, often weaving the two together. Malotke’s standalone poetry collections include Don’t Cry on Cashmere, Fashion Trends, Deadly Ends, Lost Cherry, Death is a Tease, and Broken Thoughts. Most recently she won the international Azerate Poetry Prize in 2025.

While most of Malotke’s work is within the realms of horror and nightmares, her latest adventure is writing paranormal romances that balance sweet connections and spicy interactions. Her vampire series, Wicked Bites, is part of an ongoing world that will start to include monster romance stories in the fall of 2026. Under a pen name of Tori Fields, she focuses on short, sweet, and steamy novellas.
