Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

To pay her own bride price, Princess Mira hunts for lost treasure—but to break the curse binding her to a vengeful pirate’s ghost, she must fall in love with a fisherman’s son. The problem? Her heart already belongs to another princess. 🧡🤍🩷 #YouDeservePit #YA #F #W #LGBT

A mood board for Princess Mira, showing a Black princess with dresses and jewelry, a message in a bottle, a crown made of shells, a conch shell, and romantic scenes of the princess with her love interest, a white princess with red hair, including their faces pressed together, kissing in the reflection of a handheld mirror, and running across a grassy field arm-in-arm. The lesbian pride flag is subtly depicted across the grid, with the first row of picturetinted light orange, the second row tinted cream/white, and the third road tinted a rosy pink.

A grief-torn healer, bent on vengeance against the god who claimed all she loved in death and decay, uses her craft to infiltrate the god’s court—entangling with a haunted heir, plagued by fated dreams of her arrival, who will stop at nothing to unearth her purpose. #youdeservepit #wip #f #r #a

The House of Hemlock

A WORK IN PROGRESS

ONE DARK WINDOW meets STARLING HOUSE in this gothic dual POV adult romantic fantasy steeped in grief-torn promises, fate-bound strangers, and simmering tensions— where a house watches, gods scheme, and rot runs deep.

The Opening

There was truth in blood—meant to spill, drain life, stain the earth, and leave death grinning in its wake.
The first gods knew it. They shaped the earth with rivers of it, winding red veins through stone and moss, tangling it into the roots of trees that cracked the sky open with their branches.
Blood was the first language, the thread stitching life to decay, shadow to light. It was the beginning and the end, the thread through all things. It sang louder than prayers and bound tighter than oaths.
It was promise and debt, offering and curse.
The gods demanded it-again and again—until the earth grew slick, not with dew, but with what they were owed.
But even gods forget. They never asked what would become of blood left too long untended.
It rots. It rises. It remembers.

The Vibes

•Cursed magic and creeping rot (One Dark Window)
•Haunted by prophetic visions (A Study in Drowning)
•Nature’s eerie obedience (For the Wolf)
•Gothic atmosphere and simmering tension (Down Comes the Night)
•Sentient manor hiding secrets (Starling House)
•Healing that defies the natural order (The Thirteenth Child)
•Connection to death (Belladonna)

A dark, spooky, nature-inspired gothic mood
