Have you ever wanted to read a book that’s like The Witcher meets Castlevania but with an all female cast and a sapphic love story between a vampire and a monster slayer?
Well good news! My book A Ballad for Slayers & Monsters is out now 💜

Casual reminder that Itch stole my money & I can no longer sell there, meaning I can't promote with my friends or participate in bundles & other opportunities.
I'd really appreciate if y'all could help me get more discovery for my books on here instead! 100% human made, 100% queer creative team!

I released 2 trans books this year.
The 1st is a romcom where a guy falls in love with sexy Totoro at a drag show
The 2nd is a soulmate romantasy where a guy cursed with immortality has to make amends for his past by healing other people's soulmate bonds

The two WIPs that are taking up so much space in my head rn are just so different. On the one hand we have magical animal sanctuary WIP which is sapphic, cosy, just very sweet & wholesome. ⬇️

For me writing a new book is just constantly ping-ponging between “hey this is some pretty good stuff!” And “this is a dumpster fire. No one would enjoy reading this 😩”
