I cannot move again with so many copies 💀

Any educators working with teens want a book? I will mail to you! SIAH is a gothic horror about a bi girl fighting a hungry haunted house that wants to keep her family & TBAN is about a enby teen searching for monsters at the end of the world.

New year, new book. I have an ARC to share with a horror lover in the US! 👀

They Bloom at Night is a horror set on a red algae-ridden Louisiana coast where a queer teen grapples with the monsters in her past—and itching at her skin—as neighbors vanish and the ocean comes calling: Let us in.

Here’s the cover for They Bloom at Night, my horror novel about a queer teen living on a coastal town taken over by red algae and contending with the monsters in the water—and itching at her skin.

It’s like Annihilation meets Speak. Coming 3/4/25!

In 2025 I’m dead set on finishing my first adult book—a historical folk horror about a young woman posed as a maid to investigate the strangely pliant workforce at a secluded plantation, where her devotion to nation and survival will be… challenged by the baroness’s adopted Annamese daughter.
