Out of Time

A darkly funny, mythology-flavored YA aro-ace Beauty and the Beast retelling with somewhat existentialist themes and two different Beauties, neither of whom fall in love with the Beast.

Beta readers wanted!

Ailieva Sun Trilogy

A massive-in-scope, personal-in-tone fantasy with all the YA fantasy favorites--magic, romance, fighting for the throne--plus neurodivergent and queer characters, where a collapsing magic system is an allegory for climate change.

Books 1 and 2 drafted, book 3 outlined.

Sinking

A YA fantasy standalone in the same world as the aforementioned trilogy, featuring a young woman who much choose between a destiny that will probably get her killed or abandoning her people and the world to systemic collapse (also using magic as an allegory for climate change).

Outlined.

On the Unreality of Prophecy

A YA fantasy standalone in the same world as the aforementioned trilogy, featuring a young woman whose job is to ensure prophecies come true as she learns the terrible truth about the purpose of them all (spoiler: the prophecies are plans to destroy a magic system and make a few people a lot of money in the process. You guessed it, once again an allegory for climate change).
