Jaysea Lynn

Most people don’t discover the Afterlife through a TikTok series—but then again, Jaysea Lynn has never followed the usual map. Blending romantic fantasy with a sharp sense of humor and just enough darkness to keep things deliciously complicated, her stories walk the line between the whimsical and the wicked. Best known for Hell’s Belles, the wildly popular TikTok comedy-drama that she wrote, directed, and performed in from a 35-foot sailboat she called home for nearly a decade, Jaysea didn’t set out to be an author. But storytelling has always been her compass.

Raised in the mossy corners of the Pacific Northwest, she grew up surrounded by towering evergreens, persistent rain, and the quiet magic of the coast. Books were both escape and anchor, and long before she dared to share a single line publicly, she was filling notebooks with characters that refused to be silenced. After college, she traded four walls for the freedom of the sea—learning how to fix an engine, navigate a storm, and, most importantly, listen to her own voice.
