Studio Ghibli meets Jane Austen in this cozy romantic fantasy about legacy, gentrification, and a chaotic found family made up of an elite witch railing against arranged marriage, a foster kid turned pastry chef clinging to the only home he’s ever known, and the runaway phoenix hiding in his bakery’s oven.
Inspired by Hulu's Dopesick, this upmarket romantasy thriller follows a self-loathing detective and a manic vampire chemist battling the fantasy equivalent of Big Pharma—when they’re not too busy denying their dysfunctional dependence on one another.
If Agatha Christie wrote romantasy, it'd look like this locked-room murder mystery featuring selkies, storm wizards, and sapphic social media stars, launching a trilogy best described as Indiana Jones if Indie was a lesbian podcaster obsessed with Atlantis.

Magic, like bacon, makes everything better. That’s why I’m obsessed with fantasy mash-ups, weaving magic into everything from cozies to thrillers. The common thread binding together all my books is themes of self-sufficiency, overcoming adversity from without and within, and embracing love in all its forms—from self-love to that between romantic partners, families born or found, and even people and their pets.
My stories prove real magic is found in the ways we treat one another.
