Apparently, I write in a dead genre. What’s a little casual necromancy between friends?

Check out The Elysium Heist book review on the Jewish Book Council website!

They are absolutely correct - this book is accessible sci-fi. It does not lean on technical science but rather emotional complexity and romance!

Happy release day to my debut THE ELYSIUM HEIST!

FAQ:
- stand alone
- multi POV first person narration
-spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
-rep: bi, ace, lesbian, Jewish
- not a traditional heist, heavy on the romance

It’s a digital first release so your best price is the ebook (3.99) but there’s POD too! Links in bio.

Last three!

Having some fun with the “she’s a ten but…” meme and the cast of THE ELYSIUM HEIST. I think they’re all tens, but I get that they can be a bit much.

Three in the comments.

I can’t have a regular launch day event (for numerous reasons) so I was hoping to do something a little different. Details in the alt text.

TLDR - I’d love if you post a pic of your book and the location it’s in. I’ll make a fun map and video from them. But tag me so I see it.

Check out it! When you search for THE ElYSIUM HEIST it now shows up lien a real book with ratings and everything. Because it IS a real book with ratings and everything. Take that imposter syndrome!!

Don’t forget the last two looks!

I loved dressing in the five person heist crew of THE ELYSIUM HEIST according to their own personal styles for a night out. (See additional look in comments$

Which one most resonates with you?

I’d wear them all, but I’m an aspiring Kiyo with a heavy dose of unintentional Ilaria.

THE ELYSIUM HEIST has breached the first page of most requested LGBTQIA+ books on Netgalley! I think we even moved up a couple slots since I checked. Thanks to everyone requesting, and please don’t forget we’re also on goodreads and preorder links are available! Everything is in my linktree.

Another phenomenal blurb for THE ELYSIUM HEIST, this time from T.R. Moore author of The Gods Must Burn!

Only one day to go! Since Pride is coming up where I live I thought I’d share some of the rep in The Elysium Heist.
May 21, 2025 at 4:22 PM
Well, this is awkward.

I can talk for days about my characters, but talking about me? Epic fail. Still, in an effort to give you a glimpse behind how my personality might affect my writing, I'm going to try.

Want to know my favorite color too? Just ask in the comments.
May 20, 2025 at 3:28 PM
Authors are not supposed to have favorites, but let’s face it Psylina is mine. Psalome’s hacker genius little sister has fallen for the Casino AI, making life just a little complicated for the sibs. Robbing a casino is really the only solution.
May 19, 2025 at 2:16 PM
Only four days left to the cover reveal so here comes Ilaria! She’s Jewish but her planet was formed by extreme isolationists who only allow men to request and grant a divorce. To get out of an abusive situation she faked her own death. And is now robbing a casino.
May 18, 2025 at 4:25 PM
Five days to go so let’s meet Kiyo, a disgraced heiress trying to save the family business from her own father.

She’s being blackmailed by an extremely shaded dude, so naturally she decides to rob a casino.
May 17, 2025 at 2:46 PM
Six days to the cover reveal! Let’s meet Psalome, the most famous face in the universe thanks to her job as a casino Dazzler. She’s stuck in the role, working off inherited debt, when all she really wants is a piano and a nice girl to serenade.

The solution? Rob a casino
May 16, 2025 at 3:03 PM
Seven days to the reveal and I’m introducing the five woman heist crew for THE ELYSIUM HEIST, starting with Finley!

An infamous card counter and recovering alcoholic, she’s also wildly in love with her best friend. Rather than talk about it, she’s robbing a casino.
May 15, 2025 at 3:58 PM
I can’t wait to show you the cover for THE ElYSIUM HEIST, so to keep entertained until the May 22 reveal, I’m having a countdown where you can learn a little more about the book each day!

With 8 days to go we’re focusing on the setting: The Elysium a decadent space casino run by a sentient AI
May 14, 2025 at 5:19 PM
