Pride sale ends September 30!!

Hey it's pride month in my city! We're weird!

It's so students can enjoy it I guess I don't know.

Anyways, I'm celebrating with a coupon for my book. It just launched with a super fun reading and I'm still glowing about it.

Saffron and Honey - HSIKY? is a novel starring...

Ravi Beausoleil - a clinically doomed, bi-sapphic, masc, nonbinary chemical science postgrad with a grim, nihilistic vision for their future

Nicole Doyle - a couch-crashing, towering femme beauty and exiled faerie-in-disguise with a dark, dark history and a guilt complex the size of a mountain, who refuses to let Ravi wither away before their time

Felicity Vicente - a meddling, book-excavating archaeology postgrad and old unrequited highschool crush of Ravi's, who can't stand to let her toxically-beloved bestie be exploited by a mysteriously seemingly magical couch-crashing parasite

Saffron and Honey - How Should I Know You?

A bi-sapphic fantasy sci-fi romance novel about a cursed faerie and a doomed scientist falling in love in a wintery, slightly dystopian, near-future city in Canada.

Starring:

Ravi Beausoleil, the material chemistry grad student who put themself through school by working in warehouses and drinking in bars. They only want a humble career because that's about all they think they can get with the few agonizing years alive they've got left. Generous to a fault.

Nicole Doyle, Ravi's nearly-forgotten highschool acquaintance. She's got a big secret that should probably be a lot more obvious than it is considering the way her eyes shine. Loves pancakes and colorful cocktails and the way a human's eyes writhe into such interesting shapes when they realize exactly what they've done to themselves.

Felicity Vicente, Ravi's estranged but impossible-to-forget highschool bestie/crush. She's an archeologist now! Books! Loves old books. Enough that she's even convinced herself the magic in the fairytales might be real. She doesn't have any patience for strange women sleeping on her best friend's couch free of charge for months. Which is a problem for Nicole, who is strange, and has been sleeping on Ravi's couch for months – though to be fair, she does pay a bit of rent when Ravi lets her.

If you buy it off my site, I'll get a copy printed for you on demand directly from my printer. It generally takes 1-2 weeks to arrive. You get a PDF and an ePub version with the physical book at the time of purchase. There's also a PDF sample of the first few chapters on the product page.

If you happen to give Saffron and Honey a read, I'd love to hear feedback of any kind. This is my first published work and I'm extremely curious what folks take away from it.

Please enjoy!
