My Mission
I want to fight depression and isolation with my work. It sounds grandiose, but I want to save lives with my stories, just like stories saved mine.
NEW RELEASE!
Pith, the perpetually optimistic Smirate, has been kidnapped.
Now, infamous Blackbraid and crew must infiltrate the deadly anti-pirate kingdom of Strali on a rescue mission. But as an assassination plot entangles Pith and the crew, Blackbraid faces a political battleground beyond her skills, and somehow, impossibly, stabbing isn't the answer.
Pith must face horrors from her past while Blackbraid must deal with her dangerously unacknowledged feelings before their identities can be revealed or their heads will wind up served on royal platters.
About Me
Not long ago, I relocated to Luxembourg after a whirlwind move that flipped my life like a pancake. Now I've seen more castles than I can separate in my mind, have learned enough French to buy groceries, and have discovered that the creative center of my mind has limits and must be nurtured.
I started writing as a "rebellious" teenager. Frustrated with a lack of books that fit my desire for fantasy, romance, and adventure, I started writing my own. Then the rebellious hobby turned into a lasting passion. A passion that is now combining with art as I adapt the first book of my pirate series into a graphic novel!
I believe the world needs more delightful weirdos, so I write illustrated romantic adventures to prove unconventional thinking and kindness are superpowers. My stories have evolved from dramatic queer fantasy to lighthearted adventures centered on LGBTQ+ found family and grumpy-sunshine dynamics, because everyone deserves to laugh and belong.
Earning a degree in film production and fangirling over everything from Sailor Moon to Superwholock, I approach each story with relentless creative experimentation, driven by my own journey of finding belonging. Step into my worlds of magic, found family, and adventure, because being weird and kindhearted is exactly what this world need right now
My Work
If you loved the relentless optimism of Usagi from Sailor Moon, then you're in the right place. I'm doing my best to bring you reminders that joy and hope are just as important as good food in life.
If you wish stories had a balance of cozy elements, adventure, and romance, then make sure you read Our Ship Must Sail--with pirates more blundering than plundering.
I'm adapting Our Ship Must Sail into a graphic novel!
For only $5 a month you can read the pages weekly on Patreon. Or join for free to see a finished panel every week!
If you ever wanted to explore a world where X-men-esque people are queer AF, then check out the Frequency Series (now complete!) and dig into a meaty world of identity and power.
However, if you're frustrated by too much reality leaking into your stories, check out the Dispelled Lineage series (also complete!) where Elle Beauregard and I dove into contemporary romance with a bit of a sci-fi twist and more heat than I usually add! (You can thank Elle for that experiment 
)
