When a god loves a human... The human became my human. Then, she became, simply, Love. On one of my first trips from Hell to the surface, I stood on the shore of salt-crusted sea and watched a human die. At least, I would have, before she peered through the veil, looked me in the eye, and made a simple request. "Don't leave me." Curiosity turned into obsession, passion, and sorrow. The chase for her soul consumes me, whether she sees me and burns for me as I for her, or if it's a life where I remain a phantom, rejected entirely. The world should have been ours to discover...before the prophecy. The war sees you as a tool, Love. Friends and enemies grow on every side, gods shuffling you like a pawn, testing whether or not they're truly immortal as I fight for you. 3,000 years, scores of gods, over a dozen pantheons, and the very apocalypse itself couldn't keep me away. I will always find you, for I am yours, and you are mine.

Fantasy author with an M.A. in Folklore, who loves to take pictures, eat french fries, and live my life as an all-around creative forest nymph! I'm so excited to bring you with me on my journey as I step out of our everyday lives and into the new fantasy world within The Night and Its Moon fantasy series! I wrote these books for an audience of one, and that audience was me. I wanted to see bi representation, love, mental health struggles, religious trauma, and overcoming the of obstacles that I needed to be modeled in my own life. At the end of the day I'm so proud of myself for creating the series that I'd always hoped I could read, and I hope someone is able to connect with them in a way that I have.
