Hi all, introduction time! I'm a witchy queer author with chronic pain who writes contemporary romance. I'm currently in the middle of the Pagans & Pop Stars series about a former boy band and their friends (and exs) all finding love.

HERE'S THE THING I HALLUCINATED FOR HOURS. IS VERY GAY (no, gayer). PLEASE GIVE MONEY. I HOPE IT MAKES YOU CRY. 🎉🔥

Book cover set against space with colored glows behind, blue to the left, and pink to the right. A Demon to Save Me by H.S. Kallinger. Title letters are rendered in fire inside a blood circle, with a bloody pentagram drawn with a finger on a hardwood floor. Some blood is scattered around it. A pair of amber eyes with thick, black eyelashes are just visible on the floor above the circle. Rainbow circles fade in and out around the image. Author name is in pink, blue, and white in the lower right corner. In white lettering at the top is "Book One of the Found Humanity series"
