Hello to everyone reading this! If you've made it here, I owe you an enormous thank-you: for your reads, your votes, your comments, and your support for this book. Whether you are a vocal reader or a silent one, a binge-reader or a gradual one, a first-time reader or a returning one, you are appreciated here.
This book is complete, but I'm far from done writing genre-bending novellas, novels, and series with fantastical settings, smart MCs, and a heavy helping of both intrigue and adventure. Come follow me at SmokeAndOranges (if you haven't already) to receive updates on my works-in-progress and notifications when I launch new books!

If none of these pique your interest, you can also check out any of the other works on my profile. Fair warning—I have a lot! Most of my work is Dark Fantasy or Horror, but I cross paths with Sci-Fi, Paranormal, and Romance more often than not. If my books have anything in common, it's wild settings, happy endings, casual rep, and kickass disaster queers being disasters but also kickass.
If you choose to stick around, welcome. I'm happy to have you here :)
