Welcome

I usually spend my time writing original fantasy - I've completed a full-length trilogy, The Sanguine Veil, which follows a coastal kingdom torn apart by war, sibling rivalries, and the cost of sacrifice. It's a world of soldiers and song, gods and forgotten magic, where love survives even in the shadow of war.

Recently, I discovered A Court of Thorns and Roses and completely fell in love with Sarah J. Maas's world. The characters felt so vivid and layered that I couldn't resist imagining the untold parts of their histories. What frustrated me, though, was the idea that fae who had lived for 500 years had no significant relationships before canon. Out of that thought grew A Court of Song and Surrender - a story that explores Cassian's life, loves, and heartbreak before Nesta or Feyre ever set foot in Prythian.

What I Write

Immersive, character-driven fantasy with lyrical prose and emotional depth.

Romance and intimacy written with tenderness, vulnerability, and passion.

Canon-compliant explorations that slot into the spaces of existing worlds, imagining what might have been.

A mix of long-form stories (like Song and Surrender) and shorter vignettes, both past and present, that deepen the characters we know and love.

Looking Ahead

Alongside A Court of Song and Surrender, I have ideas for other shorter works exploring moments from the lives of these characters - glimpses of their pasts, as well as new perspectives in the present.

A Closing Thought

I believe stories live twice: once when we tell them, and again when someone reads them. Thank you for giving mine a second life.
