The Ballad of Spinach Quiche

AETHER TORRENT, 94,000 words of YA fantasy adventure, is launching September 2nd, 2025 and is now open for pre-order at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and major e-book retailers!

Even in a world of magic, the economics of exploitation still rule.

Tori, a disenchanted atheist stealing treasures and suffering through retail, wants to turn her black-market boss's ill-gotten treasures into a life-affirming museum.

Avani, a devoutly religious fugitive blamed for her temple's violence, wants to evangelize safely distant from the influence of her temple's zealots.

Cirrus, a flying, shape-shifting tiger woman coerced into mercenary violence by her military, wants help for a private mission of her own.

The three women help each other fight their way out of their respective bad situations and into a new goal: reaching Tori's mother in a distant city where, Tori hopes, all of their wishes can come true.

And if that wasn't enough...

None other than Trick Weekes -- Narrative Designer at Bioware, lead writer for the Dragon Age series, and author of Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, Feeder, and the Rogues of the Republic series -- was among the book's first readers, and had this to say:

This story is cinematic as all get-out. It gives us a likeable cast and keeps moving as Tori, Avani, and Cirrus move from one train wreck to the next, leaving chaos in their wake. It's a ton of fun, and you also have a unique world filled with magic and crime and shark people and giant crabs. It's got a ton of different moving parts, and everything is bursting with life.
