Her romantic heart and fascination with unconventional love led her to paranormal romance, where she debuted with the standalone novel Paying for His Fantasies in 2015.
Walter’s journey wasn’t just about writing—it was about finding her voice. Inspired by the idea that chosen family often matters more than the one you’re born into, she began weaving this theme into her work, creating stories that feel both cosmic and deeply personal.
