What would even be the point of having a beefy knight boyfriend if his chest wasn’t comfortable to nap on?

I am a simple author creature. You show me footage of your pet with my book and I turn into this emoji 🥰

There’s just something about a cold, grey, rainy day that makes me think “it would be a good day to baldur some gates”

I love epic fantasy and I want to write more epic fantasy, but more than that I really want to write all the cosy fantasies I can and immerse myself in worlds and characters that are as soft and warm as my favourite blanket in winter

One day I will write that romantasy about a big, buff, lady knight with self confidence issues and the incredibly handsome noble man who would fight a dragon for her even though he has no idea how to use a sword.

Phantom and Rook is a queer urban fantasy romance following a retired hedge witch and a mysterious immortal that is cursed to be forgotten by all those who know him.

The ebook is free at (most) of your favorite retailers, and is also available in paperback and audio.

As much as I would love to live in a world with magic and dragons and knights and vampires to romance, the world we do live in is pretty incredible and it kills me that we’re destroying it for capitalism’s sake.

Each time I’ve published somewhere other than IngramSpark, it never goes up on the Zon. I published the ebook of my anthology through D2D almost 2 years ago and it’s still not on the Zon. The Of Knights audiobook was published through INaudio and is up pretty much everywhere except for the Zon 🧐

I have a potentially unrealistic goal of getting 50 people to follow my upcoming kickstarter by the end of February. Is that lofty? Objectively no. I think we can make it happen 👀

Click "notify me on launch" if a genre-blending anthology of vampire fiction piques your interest:
Coming soon: Exquisite Undead: An Anthology of Vampires
A genre-blending collection of vampire fiction.

This year is going to be a real balancing act for me between studying to become a vet nurse and continuing to write my queer little fantasy books
