So excited to share my tender little short story that was published in Fruitslice Magazine today❤️🔥
“Synchronicities” is a story about the power of connection, the tender moments that can soothe our deepest aches, and the spark that can bring us to life again.

there's a piece of my soul in this book and I've agonised over every word for months and yet I STILL fret about whether it's good enough
some random people:
stop overthinking it you can just use Al to churn out books - no one cares

Just started reading Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg.
Usually it takes me 20-30% of a book to feel connected to a character but it was immediate with this.
The tender letter opener really captured my heart ❤️🔥

I wrote a sapphic short story about a farmer and postie
and two readers asked me to develop it into a novel because they loved the characters
that’s the sort of encouragement that sustains a writer
and prompts the writing of 60-80k more words

A dying mage and his partner seek to prevent magic from killing mages. Their efforts turn them both into soulless immortals.
Centuries later, two magic scientists seek to stop a blight, and they must find a way to kill these cursed gods.

Elle doesn’t want a second-chance romance, she wants revenge, heartbreak for heartbreak.
She’ll pretend forgiveness, pretend love, until her ex hurts as much as she did back then.
But the line between fake and real is harder to navigate than she expected.

In ancient India gods walk among men. Yashit, the Lotus Dancer is set to become a Nrityadeva, the elite dancers of heaven. But what's supposed to happen when Yashit falls for the Sun God himself? Bad idea.
