I write queer new adult/adult science fiction and fantasy, often combining my love of magically-inclined chaotic idiots and modern/futuristic tech through genre blends.
If you're interested in books inspired by 90s and 00s urban fantasy TV shows and anime, as well as video games like Final Fantasy and various other JRPGs, you're probably going to really like my books.

About Seraphine's Chosen
Wish Final Fantasy 15 had better character development? Enjoyed Persona 5?
THE THIRTEENTH KEY & THE VAULT make up the first complete arc of the series, which takes place in an alternative fantasy world where tech is overtaking dwindling magic. Tensions are high with rebellion and whispers of war, and a group of thieves band together around an unlikely chosen one who has been called to restore magic under the looming threat of an apocalypse.
More installments are coming soon in this planned, five-book series.
About The Custodians
The Custodians series is inspired by urban fantasy anime and 00s TV shows with a light flavoring of complex comic-book-esque drama in the depths of a secret society meant to balance fate for the sake of humanity. However, due to sociopolitical issues and infighting among those with frictional "talents", the growing struggle in the midst of power shifts continues to blur the lines between right and wrong—just and unjust.
TRICK, the first installment, is about Evie Thatcher. She's an exhausted, resilient third-year college student dealing with the recent loss of her clock-tinkering grandfather. So when she accidentally manages to rewind a small moment of time, she uncovers that he neglected to share a family secret with her—one that ties her to fate-orchestrating secret society behind the curtain of her previous reality. And someone lurking within wants her dead.
Also more installments are coming soon, though the number of books is currently up in the air. SPIRITS (book #2) is currently in progress and serialized on my Patreon.
About The Wild Hunt
A post-apocalyptic dark fantasy (and achillean romantasy) about two Called sacrifices to appease the bloodlust of the fae who have reclaimed the world.
Featuring an autistic main character, the story dives heavily into parallels regarding disabilities and being "othered" and alienated. If you're thinking changelings are going to come up, you would be right.
A HUNT OF BLOOD & IRON is the first installment. The second book, A TRIAL OF WRATH & RUIN is complete and nearing time for revisions while I start on the third and final book, A TITHE OF SOULS & DREAMS.
About Occult Misadventures
My series of standalone novels set in the same universe that feature vampires, witches, werewolves, demons, fae, and more. Very Supernatural and Buffy-coded material.
FAMILIAR is the chaotic (and gay) initial entry to the universe. When Jules, the son of a vampire hunter, accidentally becomes a vampire’s familiar, he decides to prove himself to his father by hunting down his vampire master. Well, that is, as soon as he can remember the hazy events leading up to being marked.
About the rest of my WIPs
There are way too many, but I'm trying to keep up on the ones I'm currently working on here.
I currently have a queer space Robin Hood found family WIP (NOVA RICHE), and I've also completely lost my mind and started on an apocalyptic dark fantasy horror WIP (DEVOUR YOUR HEART).
I've mentioned some of my future works in a previous introduction, which will all still be happening at some point in the future.

7 days what is happening. people are receiving emails that their preorders are being prepared for shipping. I have a bunch of events to get ready for. what do you MEAN people are going to read the book and talk about the book and
okay actually I felt bad for abandoning this post partway through the countdown and also forgetting the countdown a few days there in the middle as I lose my mind about this book release, but anyway 2 days
Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.
I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.
FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

The first asexual person I met outside of the internet was a 65 year old woman.
I’d been interning with her as an artist/executive assistant for some time. To put a long story short she’d developed a tremor that kept her from doing a certain amount of studio work, so in between sending emails and invoices for her I’d chip in and help with line art or drafting on longer projects. A lot of it was the two of us sitting in her basement studio, doing our own thing, waiting for the phone to ring. We got to talking a lot. I’d just moved across the country and was still finding my footing.
There was a handyman she had over occasionally — he was a personal friend who enjoyed her company more than she enjoyed his. She didn’t dislike him by any means, but he definitely had feelings for her that she didn’t reciprocate. One day, after he’d come over to repair something-or-other and left, she and I started talking about relationships.
She asked if I had a boyfriend. I told her I wasn’t interested in being in a relationship with anyone and that I’d never had a desire to be in a relationship. Admittedly, I was bracing for the “You’ll meet the right person someday” response. I knew it generally came from a place of care, but it never changed how much I dreaded to hear it. I really respected my mentor and I was prepared to nod along to whatever response she gave me. Instead of anything I expected her to say, she just kind of nodded and said, “Me neither. I think I’m — what’s the term — asexual?”
I was ecstatic. I told her I was asexual, too. I saw her sigh in relief, the same way I did. I couldn’t believe it.
We didn’t get much work done that day, we just started talking about our experiences. She’d been married once when she was younger and even during that period of her life her disinterest in a sexual relationship didn’t change. She had a roommate after graduating college who confessed to having feelings for her and she had to tell her “It’s not that I don’t like girls, it’s that I don’t like anybody.” The roommate harbored enough bitterness over this that they had to split ways. Her mother told her that she would quote “rather have a gay daughter than a daughter who didn’t fancy anyone at all” unquote.
I didn’t have nearly as many experiences as she did, but I was able to share my own for the first time. I shared how it was easier to say I was taking time to work on myself than to say I had no interest in being in a relationship. We talked about the words “You’ll meet the right person someday” and “You’ll know when you’re in love” and “Don’t worry, one day you’ll meet some guy that changes everything.” As if something was broken.
“I’ve been alive for sixty five years,” my mentor told me, “and I’ve never felt like I was missing something, even if everybody told me I was.”
Currently, my mentor lives with her parrot, her cats, and her backyard-wildlife pals in a house that she owns. She makes art and hosts community art groups and volunteers at care homes and is the most self-fulfilled woman I’ve ever met. And she loves her life. She loves the people she knows and they love her, too. If I could be half as cool as she is when I grow up, I think that’d be pretty amazing.
“Asexuality” isn’t a problem to be fixed or a phase to grow out of. Sometimes you’re fifteen and sometimes you’re sixty-five. I knew in my heart that older asexual people existed but it changed me completely to meet one. We were here before and we always will be.
imo the best way to interpret those “real people don’t do x” writing advice posts is “most people don’t do x, so if a character does x, it should be a distinguishing trait.” human behavior is infinitely varied; for any x, there are real people who do x. we can’t make absolute statements. we can, however, make probabilistic ones.
for example, most people don’t address each other by name in the middle of a casual conversation. if all your characters do that, your dialogue will sound stilted and unnatural. but if just one character does that, then it tells us something about that character.

I think.... I'm just going to casually start slipping 'aro' into my labels this pride month
Even tho I'm low-key scared that I am a fraud™ because I am a lover of disgustingly dependent fictional, romantically paired characters
I love the idea of love, but I don't think it's ever quite been for me, deep down. I'm proudly selfish about my alone time and am perfectly cool third wheeling irl. The prospect of having a partner kinda stresses me out ngl
