Out today!
WE ARE NOT SAFE HERE is my ode to analog horror, ARGs, creepy conspiracy theories trying to explain the unknowable told by a narrator who wants to know why the body that just turned up in the woods is not a body from the woods.
Thank you, and I hope you all enjoy this weird little book!
"Its most unique characteristic is the noises it makes as it moves, which resemble the moans and cries of someone in pain, or the cries of a baby, coupled with the sound of something very heavy pulling itself across the floor.
Cryptid #2 - the Quiet Brother, from WE ARE NOT SAFE HERE, out Nov 4!

"Truly natureβs wonder, though one may even argue it actually goes against it. There is nothing about its physiology that makes sense. This little creature isnβt supposed to exist. It cannot possibly exist. And yet here it is."
A look at Cryptid #1 from YA horror, WE'RE NOT SAFE HERE, out Nov 4/25!

Would you by any chance like to read an enemies to lovers and back again gothic romance fantasy about a demon-priest and a swanmay who would destroy kingdoms to protect each other? Because this looks to be how this work in progress is going to happen. #books #fantasybooks

Notice at the local post office that says: Suspension of all classes of mails bound to USA due to US tariff regulations
I would love to do more giveaways for WE'RE NOT SAFE HERE, but shipping is out due to tariffs thanks to the mason jar-shaped personification of a tantrum in charge of the US. US residents will not be part of the next giveaway, apologies while I figure something out.
TLDR: release the Epstein files.
The audiobook for WICKED AS YOU WISH is on sale till October 11, 2025!

Unboxing day is here and the copies of WE ARE NOT SAFE HERE are looking good!
(I am still trying to figure out if a giveaway is doable without anyone having to pay extra tariffs by the morons in charge, because books don't seem to have an exemption over here.)
Matcha drink beside a physical draft of one of my works in progress - Chapter one ~ Rin Chupeco #books #fantasy #wip
Monsterfucking book (tm) may have to take a backseat, as it has gotten far more complex than how I envisioned it, and will need more time to percolate. A good thing! I can eke out the heat and the angst far better given more space.
My "Swan Lake" WIP, however, is proceeding as planned....
We Are Not Safe Here will be out on Nov 4 2025 and will have TEN audiobook narrators.
Yup. Ten.
There'll be message board posts, blog entries, video narrations. We Are Not Safe Here is a book about a community facing a monster from outside its woods - and within it!
Just learned Silver Under Nightfall earned out in a big way last year, earlier than I even thought! I'm glad people like this ridiculous throuple, and I hope to bring more of the same ridiculousness with the next adult fantasy I have in mind! Sincerely - thank you!

Nothing to see here, just a short list of fanon throuples that SILVER UNDER NIGHTFALL was immensely inspired by! (Rather sad that none of these are official - make them canon, cowards).
