Introduction to A.D. Dumas

A.D. Dumas is an emerging author and entrepreneur with a passion for storytelling across multiple genres. As a proud Black woman and founder of Undisturbed Publishing, she is committed to breaking barriers in the literary world and providing a platform for new and underrepresented voices.

Early Life and Discovery of Writing

Born and raised in a relatively small town, Dumas discovered her love for storytelling at a young age. Books became her constant companions, and writing quickly became her creative outlet. Although she attended a STEM-focused high school, Dumas always knew her true calling was in writing.

Her journey wasn’t straightforward, but her passion for writing was unwavering. During the pandemic, Dumas took a bold step by accelerating her education, combining her junior and senior years to graduate early. She then focused on her creative pursuits with renewed dedication.

Educational Journey and Career Foundation

Encouraged by her family to pursue a well-rounded education, Dumas earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management while studying in London. This experience equipped her with the knowledge and skills to build a successful career in publishing.

Dumas’s education serves as a foundation for her dreams, but it also reinforced an important belief: no matter where you start in life, success is within reach. Through her writing and entrepreneurial work, she hopes to inspire others to follow their passions, even if the path seems uncertain at first.

Writing Journey and Style

Dumas’s writing is bold, imaginative, and ever-evolving. She is currently experimenting with different styles and voices, planning to focus on urban fantasy, high fantasy, and dark fantasy, all intertwined with elements of romance. Additionally, she looks forward to exploring science fiction in future projects.

Each story Dumas writes draws inspiration from her own experiences, challenges, and triumphs. She hopes her work resonates with readers from all walks of life, showing them that their dreams are valid and achievable.

Building a Community and Making Connections

Beyond storytelling, Dumas strives to build lasting relationships with her readers. She is committed to creating a welcoming and supportive community—a space where stories can be shared, connections made, and everyone can feel seen and heard.

Personal Life and Aspirations

Outside of writing and publishing, Dumas enjoys experimenting with new recipes and spending time with her fiancé, an active-duty military service member. She also shares her life with her beloved (and very spoiled) cat.

With a deep commitment to both her craft and her community, Dumas is determined to continue writing, creating, and inspiring others. Through her work, she aims to empower aspiring writers, foster meaningful connections, and build a literary space that celebrates diverse voices.
