Welcome. I’m S.R. De Young.

I write the Chambers of the Old Ones series — stories shaped by desert horizons, quiet mysteries, and the strange pull of places that feel older than memory. If you’re drawn to atmospheric fiction, hidden histories, and the echoes beneath our feet, you’re in the right place.

Alongside the main series, I also write a collection of lighter, more playful stories inspired by my Australian Terrier, Rory — small adventures, daydreams, and mischief from a dog with a very large personality. These pieces offer a break from the darker mysteries and bring a bit of humor and heart to the world I’m building.

Here you’ll find my books, updates on the series, the occasional Rory tale, and reflections on the writing process. Thank you for being here at the beginning. There’s much more to come.
