About Auden.
Auden Dar has always followed her passions. Passions that have led her into the worlds of music, philosophy, and romance. Passions that took her to NYC, where she attended the “Fame” school and became a classically trained musician.
A love for books led her to pursue a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and literature. In her first job after college, she crafted copy for one of the largest independent publishing organizations in the U.S. But her first passion—music—led her back to NYC, where she turned a temporary gig as a receptionist into a successful career as an A&R music executive and a voting member of the Recording Academy.
When her husband brought Fifty Shades of Grey home as a gift, a new passion emerged and everything changed. Her bookshelves and Kindle, filled with the classics, now included book boyfriends from the world of indie romance. Soon after, she started writing a story she wanted to read.
Auden brings all these passions, experiences, and love of research into her stories.
When she’s not aspiring to create the perfectly imperfect book boyfriend, Auden is satiating her own romance habit, curating playlists, binge-watching K-dramas, stalking bulldogs, or spending time with her greatest passions—her heroic husband and quirky son in Venice, California.
Maestro is Auden’s third novel and is available now.
