A routine run. A wrong turn. A fever blooming under her skin. Xime didn’t mean to stray from the path. But something ancient waits beneath the moss of Tom Brown Park—something with roots and hunger and heat. Her skin itches. Her muscles throb. Something is blooming inside her. And it doesn’t want to kill her. It needs her alive. The Ruins but let it f*ck you. Kind of weird. Kind of erotic. Kind of horrifying.

Author · 8 books
Ashley Michele is your friendly neighborhood queer little witch. She likes snark, stuffies and dark, fantastical things. She also enjoys writing about mixed latina plus sized babies such as herself getting to live out their best lives with queer and kinky loving. She has a BA from Florida State University that she still hasn’t opened. When she’s not doing library things or sending hour long voice notes to someone she loves she can usually be found in her hammock between the trees of her swamp or laying out, listening to an audio while she paints and catches some sun.
