I was married in a castle but had my heart broken in a city of spires. Now I write stories that George R.R. Martin (Game of Thrones) might have written if he penned romantasy and fairy tales. Imagine epic dark fantasies fraught with poetic and desperate emotions. Love in places where morals warp. Kisses in every plot line. Unspeakable danger with an undertone of torment. Perilous smiles.
Then add traces of whimsy and sass on a backdrop of phantasmagoria.
I love all things deliciously dark, deep, and complex.

Interesting facts about me:
- I was born in Texas and used to play the double bass in the orchestra.
- Once upon a time, I was a proofreader and translator.
- When I was twenty-two, I ran away to Prague, where I’ve lived half my life.
- I eat chocolate for breakfast.
- I sing to my black cat every night.
- I have lemon tarts every Thursday.
- I’m empathic and neurodivergent, have high-functioning anxiety and OCD (and now depression, yay).
- My icks in books: misunderstandings and lack of communication, problems that could be resolved if the characters actually behaved like adults and simply asked the other person; cheating (if cheating is in a book of mine, it’s not with the end-game love interest).
If you wish to enter my world, choose your poison prudently… as all poisons are meant to be chosen.
For adult epic fantasies featuring heroines of all ages, from 13 to 46 years, with multiple POVs and love story subplots in every story line, try my Heiress of the Seven Cities series. The most recent one, about a spurned queen and her peace-loving daughter (and with a mute dog that still manages to be yappy) is Heiress of Secrets.
For gothic/cozy fantasy & darkish fairy tales, try my free short story Roses and Bruises and Love about a cursed girl finding a boy under her roses every day, or my whimsical and only slightly darkish novella Wishes and Whispers and Sibilant Hisses about a lonely princess whose castle is breached by a sinister stranger who offers her companionship, the gothic novella The Assassin: A Love Story about a girl who sings a dying assassin back to life in a kingdom ruled by an undying king, or try the gothic romance anthology Slightly Sweetly, Slightly Creepy. Or, for an ongoing alternately facetious, gothic, and fun fairy tale, check out the Proud Princess tale I add onto in my blog every few weeks or so… or I would if I were consistent).
For an alternately beautiful, alternatetly dirty, smutty orc-princess-elf romance, try The Wicked Orc.
For dark fantasy where no love interest is safe, try my Ever Spirits series.
For something utterly lighthearted, try Never Trust a Prince, where two ex-princesses get into shenanigans with dragons and trolls and love.
I once wrote some NA Dystopians that are currently unpublished but might fly to life again (my Wingscape series). THEY MIGHT BE FLYING IN NOW, Y’ALL! ONE MIGHT BE COMING SUMMER 2026!!! STAY TUNED!
