📌 Hey! I'm Cara, and I write LGBTQ+ science fiction & fantasy (often with asexual and/or neurodivergent main characters) with heavily inspired themes from JRPGs and 90s/00s anime and urban fantasy shows. 🖤

"Caulborn" is a term used in the world of my WIP Making Monsters for those who are born wrapped in the amniotic sac. It's a direct reference to real life Benandanti and Italian folklore.

Stay turned for Part III.

A Grimdark SFF novel. NOT a romance.

I usually don't write romantic stuff, but I published this steampunk short story under another pen name and it might be perfect for Valentine's Day.
While the premise is sad and dark, it has a happy ending.

It's short, sapphic, and you can grab a copy here:

I'm excited to write more urban fantasy and urban fantasy-adjacent books like these, complete with that 90s and 00s + anime feel.

Plus, I'm dealing with moving in th next couple of months, insane day job deadlines, and fighting off overwhelming anxiety about changes and self-imposed goals, so there's that...

If you've been noticing I haven't been interacting or interacting as much, I've been severely limiting my social media time for my mental health.

I also honestly hate social media, so I've been nudging my accounts toward "mostly updates" to focus on writing.

Discord is the best place to chat me.

The moment of "oh, everything in this system is busted" should count as psychological horror tbh

I'm still slowly working through book two of this series and loving the unsettling, gritty descent into deeper issues within the Custodians as a whole, including how the main characters are impacted by it all.

Slightly ahead on my manuscript and I'm like "I should get further ahead to get done faster!!"

But also "what if I spent the day building a MtG deck"
