My Current WIP/Published Works Lineup
(Just in case anybody wants a look into my bizarre plans🤣)
Changing Waters (2/3 Published): This is my debut action-fantasy and has one more released planned for January 2027 before it's complete! It follows a young sorcerer and mutated, aquatic person named Kostas, his best friend (a mermaid named Adara), and other villagers of an underwater kingdom. For the youths' entire lives, mutated subjects have been getting massacred by the royal soldiers thanks to the orders of the corrupt royal vizier. Now, it's time to fight back...or accept death. The general vibes include found family, friends-to-lovers romance (no-spice), high stakes, drama, coming-of-age, and twists & turns. It's a war, so who can you trust and who will make it out alive?
Greek Skits-ology (Published): This was my 2nd book! It's an anthology and comedy all set in the world of Greek mythology. There are retellings, interviews, and therapy sessions. It's also the shortest story on the line-up, so it's good for having some mostly light-hearted fun. (I say "mostly" because there's still trauma involved. I'm still me😀. I.e. the therapy sessions...) The vibes for this one are pretty silly, though. Not much is meant to be taken seriously, so you admittedly can still learn about the myths, but there's a tongue-in-cheek tone.
Mind of a Pirate (Published): This was my first adult book. It stars Lesia Hunte, a 25-year-old pirate captain from Barbados. Pirates and psychology get to blend on her ship, The Clinic, where neurodivergent people are given a home and family instead of only facing the abuse they've come to expect in the year 1700. This story is mostly about self-improvement, learning to love who you are regardless of what others say, and opening up to those who care about you. There are also elements of low fantasy!
War Siblings (WIP. Slated for May 2027): This is my Greek myth drama trilogy! It stars Athena and Ares, showing them grow from young gods who are trying to figure out the world and the politics of Olympus, then eventually become the fearsome gods we know from myths. (It's just not exactly how the myths say.) Book 1 is upper YA, but I think book 2 gets into new adult territory. I'm predicting the same for book 3 although I haven't started writing that one yet. Expect drama, grief, a mentally ill lead, suspense with royal politics, and plenty of family and sibling dynamics.
Rumpel Story (WIP. Slated for October 2028): This is going to be my intro to horror. It's an adult horror-fantasy trilogy that does a spin on the classic tale of Rumpelstiltskin, all mixed in with some myths from around the world that I don't think get enough attention. It stars Roj, a young witch who was adopted by an imp shortly after her birth. When her normal (to her) life gets turned upside down, she's thrown into a world of monsters she's never seen and a band of warriors tasked with keeping balance. The vibes here are spooky, but she's also someone who copes with humor, so there is some comedy here and there. Otherwise, lots of familial and platonic love and learning to push yourself past your limits.
Big Series (WIP. Slated for 2030): This is by far my longest series. It also has 2 parts, the second acting as a sequel. To focus on part one, it's got a dual POV with half of the story starring Faruq, an oddly quiet orphan from Bonaire who wants little more than to be left alone. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. When people start going missing, he's pulled down a rabbit hole and into danger. The other half stars Renné, a young girl from France whose mother is a zoologist. After getting approached by someone who wants to create genetically-altered people, Renné is exposed to a world just beginning to have superheroes and villains. The vibes here are dealing with crime fighting, abuse and traumas, found family, action, psychology, and mental health.
Loved to Death (WIP. These last 3 titles are not the official names. Slated for 2031): This is a horror-romance that I'm planning. We see dating shows all the time with...questionable therapists on the team to make sure everyone is okay. In this world, they're upfront with the fact that they are picking people based on views and potential for drama. The name of the game? Finding love. The prize? Your life. Either fall in love by the end of this trainwreck or die trying! The vibes here are: Absurdity, various forms of horror like psychological, gruesomeness, trauma, fake dating, and high stakes. Basically, I want to try writing a romance book that would genuinely hold my interest, so it had to get horrific!
Businesses have their 5 year plan and I do too! If any of these sound neat to you, I hope you'll follow along for the journey and/or check out the books that are already available!
(Really brief for anybody who's curious about what's next, these are a couple extra WIPs that are too vague/too far out to go into depth here, but I'll give a teeny taste: Flamingoes! High school/crime drama with fish. Egyptian mythology gets a turn. A hard sci-fi novel that's hopefully not too ambitious for me. Genies(?)! And Moots in-person. Okay, that's enough for now🤣. I'll make a new one of these when I have enough new projects that are fleshed out)
