I recently visited Fireside Books in Redwood City for a comics pop-up! I got an awesome haul of Alien comics. While I was there, a couple bought my book and I signed it for them 🥰 What a great day.

The Raven doesn’t love. He obsesses. He worships.
He’s a knife with a soft voice and a kingdom of ashes. And he only kneels for one person: Cricket.

In the mood for a 'well that escalalted quickly' dark fantasy? Look no further. Bi disaster, Gideon, got you.
What Doesn't Kill You is a companion novella to Bring Her Home and focuses on Gideon, whose life isn't quite taking the turn he expected it to take.

Raeden died, but her soul can't move on because she doesn't remember anything of her former life or her death. All she remembers is pain.
She is sent back to earth to unravel the mysteries surrounding her death.
