It's release day for my new queer fantasy series!!!
AWAKENINGS is the first novella of nine, in a series that wraps the tense stakes of high fantasy in the warmth of cozy fantasy.
Also it's big board game nerd hours

The ever-wonderful Rosiee Thor wrote me this wonderful blurb for AWAKENINGS !! As a fellow fan of the "Tales of _______ " games, I just knew they'd be right for my little book <3
(also if you haven't read FIRE BECOMES HER, it's a *great* YA with an ambitious, messy arospec lead and a wonderful QPR!)

Hedriar has been chosen to represent her homeworld within the Galactic Covenant. There she'll meet new friends and discover that people aren't as different as all that. This collection features five cosy stories about the Galactic Covenant and is perfect for fans of Becky Chambers' works or of Star Trek's more quiet and character-oriented episodes.
Last 48 Hours to my cozy fantasy novella kickstarter!
With loads of board games within, I thought I'd present some of those that served as inspiration behind AWAKENINGS and FLOODED SECRETS, the two first novellas in my upcoming series!
Not every game in the series is a proper *board* game, though many def are. Later down, we also have a beach episode and an escape room!
:D

I'm nothing if not consistent with my writing.
The Chronicles of Nerezia follows three friends as they travel the world to understand the powers wielded by Aliyah, and what is missing from their memory. And also just play lots of board games.

It's finally set up! The KS page for AWAKENINGS, the first book of my novella series, is up!
It's cozy fantasy x DnD side-questing, it's board games and Found Family. It's an all aspec trio and two non-binary leads!
I have 9 of these fun novellas drafted, and I'm looking to help me cover up front costs to get them out there.
