✨ COVER REVEAL ✨ Beckoning of the Gate re-releases 31 Oct 2025! 🗝️🔥 The design hasn’t changed much (I’ve always loved it), but I’ve rebranded for continuity as I go fully indie. So excited to share Santha’s journey with you all again. #CoverReveal #darkfantasy

Book 2 of The Vāyilian Threads is now with the editor. I cut it from 210k to 150k before sending it off. Brutal, but worth it. More on Book 1, Beckoning of the Gate, soon. #TheVayilianThreads #BeckoningOfTheGate #darkfolklorefantasy #fantasybooks #indieauthor

Day 4,563 of being a published author 15 published novels 2 novellas 1 short story collection 3 more novels to be released in 2026 Fame and fortune continue to evade me. Beginning to think this might not be as easy as I originally believed. All this to say: GO BUY DOGGED!

Set a thief to catch a thief. Set a monster to punish monsters. The Academy of Kindness exists to create agents of retribution, cast in the image of the Furies—known as the kindly ones—against whom even the gods hesitate to stand.

📚 Owned But Haven’t Read 🫢 I’m the world slowest reader (and I’ll fight anyone for that title) so it’s no surprise that I have lots of books that have yet to be read. While I promise I’ll eventually get to them, in the meantime they look amazing as trophies on my shelf.

Early reviews are in. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Readers call Beckoning of the Gate “beautifully crafted,” “emotional,” and “gut-punching.” A dark fae fantasy of resilience, sacrifice, and consequence where every choice carries a price. Out 31 Oct 2025 amazon.com/dp/B0FL5FQFT8 #DarkFantasy
