Hello all! My name is Inks! I am a published author, a massage therapy student, a non-career postal employee, and the parent of 7 fur babies. I live in a log cabin in the woods, am aromantic asexual, agendered, and just turned 35 in March!

I live in the Southestern US, am autistic, gay, agnostic, a big fandom nerd, love playing DnD with my friends every Thursday night, and my special interest that I obsess over is writing. I have roughly 30 stories I want to write/have written, and while not all of them are listed here, this is a good starting point.

I write across several genres, but most of my stories center around fantasy. My main areas are adventure, YA, horror, comedy, and romance. I write lots of modern magic in my stories and have a love for character introductions, plot twists, and dialogue.

I love talking story stuff with people and brainstorming, so if you ever get stuck, please feel free to hit me up!

Echoes of the Damned

Synopsis: Chelsea Blackwater is a simple ace girl who's in love with her best friend, Artemis. Unfortunately, Chel, as she prefers to be called, has a secret life that Artemis has no clue about. By day she catalogs ancient books and manuscripts onto an online database for a "local library," but by night, she's an Archivist and Hunter for the Coalition, killing demons and distributing information to Hunters who need guidance in the field. One day, Artemis asks for her help on a mission to find evidence to expose his workplace for unethical experiments on animals. Only, what they find is a plot to unleash the kings of Hell and the Lightbringer himself. Realizing they've stepped in a fireant bed, Chel quickly tries to gather the evidence to research what she's found later and get them out of there ASAP, but Artemis is killed by demons in the process. Mourning her best friend and the person she loved, Chel escapes with a capuchin monkey Artemis had been trying to save, and contacts a pair of Hunter brothers to help her take down the organization and stop their plans to unleash Hell's most dangerous prisoners. What she doesn't expect is to find that not only is Artemis not quite dead, but somehow he's possessing the capuchin monkey she saved and desperately trying to send her a message. Will she realize it before it's too late? Or will the angels and demons break out into an all-out war in Earth's final days?
