Are you possibly vitamin deficient? Or secretly so?

I discovered I don't metabolize folate correctly despite my bloodwork saying there was no deficiency (turns out approx 20% of people have this issue), but one fancy supplement later and I actually feel awake.

Heart of Silver Flame Sea and Stars Book Two Color palettes featuring book tropes: - butch/femme - second chance romance - k*ll god

Death's Abyss Sea and Stars Book Three Color palettes featuring book tropes: - kiss before the end of the world - gods and monsters - forgiveness and love

Sea & Stars is a story about forgiveness and how no one is past redemption. It's about finding your power amid hardship and overcoming impossible odds. It's about loving another person at their worst and finding the worth in helping them heal. And it's got gay mermaids, so I think it's a winner 🧜‍♀️

No matter where I end up, Tallora and Dauriel will always be an anchor to my success, and a fan favorite couple.

It's about two imperfect people building each other up despite their grief. Also it has a cat, which I've been told is a selling point. (And nothing bad happens to it, I pinky swear.) 2/2

Kickstarter and pre-order link coming soon!

Title reveal: to love the stars too fondly Spring 2026

"Enemies" to Lovers Trauma and Healing Butch/Femme Rich Girl x Barista Love After Grief "Who hurt you?" Kickstarter page coming soon!

To Love the Stars too Fondly was supposed to be a rom com, but I supremely missed the mark according to my beta readers. Instead, it's a sapphic contemporary romance about healing after trauma and finding love again despite a broken heart. 1/2

2025 was a year of upheaval and the culmination of some difficult life lessons that started in 2024. Here's hoping 2026 has maybe less growth and more results 😘
