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.
Given recent changes Wattpad has been making, I am no longer posting new books on this site. However, 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 on Wattpad or Patreon, or subscribe to my newsletter (link in the comments) to receive updates on my works-in-progress and notifications about when (and where) I launch new books!
If you liked this book, perhaps I can tempt you with any of these:
Red Rover: A YA Sapphic Horror novel featuring a waterborne entity that puts you to sleep if it knows your name. Wattys 2023 winner. Complete.
Listen to the Water: Book One of the Kels Series, a Dark Fantasy / Horror quartet featuring deep-sea merfolk, a broken prophecy, and lots of tiny squid. Complete. Book 4 updates every other Thursday. Wattys 2022 Shortlist.
The Book of Miranda: A sapphic, gothic YA Horror novel featuring a freaky boarding school with a supernatural murderer whose victims somehow fail to die. Rivals to lovers, Dark Academia, and a heavy dose of both humor and disaster gays. Complete.
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 :)
