Welcome!

Hi there! Since someday I hope to meet you in person, my name’s pronounced Jan-ear. Whether you follow me on the blog or read my books, thanks for coming along as I explore some of life’s most difficult questions in the “safe” space of story. 

Burning the Raven Tree

“Janyre Tromp pens pure poetry wrapped in small-town gothic drama, and it’s a delight!”
—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Astral Library

A survivor accused of a decade-old grisly murder. 
A disgraced lawyer with everything to prove. 
And the only witness has stood watch for more than a millennium.

Northern Michigan is a land of ghosts and sweeping vistas. In a small town, an ancient oak stands heavy with grief, its twisted limbs hung with shoes like eerie gravestones.

The town whispers about Colwyn Cueny—the child murderer, the woman who sees specters in the woods and locked her own sister away. The curse of the ancient forest witch carved into flesh and bone.

But when embattled Chicago attorney Marcus Lenarsic arrives to board with her, he doesn’t find a monster. He finds a haunted woman, bound by secrets and buried beneath a decade of fear.

Marcus knows justice doesn’t live in shadows, and the stories people tell often hide the dark reality they can’t bear to face. In a world shifting under the weight of 1960s justice reform, Marcus must untangle truth from legend before the woman he’s come to love becomes the next ghost in the trees.

Burning the Raven Tree is a gothic historical thriller of myths come to life, justice, and memory—perfect for fans of Kate Morton, William Kent Krueger, and the classic film Rebecca.

The Scorpion Thief

“Sweeping and hypnotic…Perfect for fans of The Maltese Falcon, Sarah Penner and Kate Morton.”

~Julie Cantrell New York Times bestseller

A deadly Cold War political game. 

A cursed Egyptian artifact. 

Two sisters: one the treasure’s guardian, the other its thief.

Egyptologist Noura Marquette has spent her life piecing together remnants of the past, but nothing prepares her for the day her sister resurfaces in Cairo. Estranged for years, Estelle unleashes a web of whispered threats and dangerous connections that capture Noura in a treacherous snare of betrayal, art theft, and espionage.

In Washington, Nixon’s administration maneuvers to use King Tutankhamun’s treasures as a glittering tool of propaganda.

From the souks of Cairo to the hurricane-lashed streets of New Orleans, something older than history watches, stalking Noura as loyalties fracture and the lines between history and myth blur. Some curses never sleep, and some debts can never be paid.
