Hello, and welcome!

I am an indie author who is seeking to publish her first book in the fall of 2025.

Since I’ve been able to string a series of words together, I have been making up stories. I have entire worlds within me, just waiting to be revealed to the eager people. Writing a novel has been my dream since I can remember.

As a full-time employee at a Medicaid Insurance provider coordinating the care of our most vulnerable and disabled community members, I am doing this entirely by myself.

Because of this, I am looking into all avenues available to me to try and raise funds during this process.

Any support would be greatly appreciated, and every cent will go toward making a little girl’s dreams come true.

$3000 would go toward securing and covering editing costs.

$1000 would be set aside for publishing costs.

Editor has been secured: Dorlisa Frank

The Mortal and the Shadow

“When Zema enters the mental rehab facility after a botched self-attempt on her life, she thinks she might finally have found someplace where she can escape the stress and torment of her home life. But when she encounters a strange cryptid in her room as she’s getting ready for bed, it sets in motion a series of events that unlock the secrets of her own past.

Tayce wakes up with amnesia, unable to recall much of what they experienced before losing consciousness. Drawn to their destiny by their deity’s influence and guided by the Eye in their chest, Tayce travels the mortal realm seeking energy for their Queen to use to rebuild their fallen kingdom. When they stumble across a mortal with an unusual aura, they can’t help but be drawn into the orbit of their gravity and in turn caught up in the secrets they’ve kept hidden, even from themselves.

The Mortal and the Shadow explores trauma reprocessing, consensual shared intimacy, and breaking free from cycles of toxic control.”
