Belated announcement (I forgot today was Monday...) but chapter five of Grave Bell is up! 
          
          "Celestine dear, Elias and I are not your enemies."
          
          "Keep telling yourselves that."

Happy new year! I'm looking forward to what 2026 brings and hope it treats you all well! I'm back with some news today... :D
          
          First, if you haven't noticed, I've started a brand new story! It's called Grave Bell, a fantasy story in which the only way to gain magic is to die, and our main girl needs it if she's going to catch a spy in a magical academy. I'm hoping it will be ironically lighthearted compared to some of my more recent works. So far, I've had a blast writing it! The plan is to drop updates on Mondays, so add the book to your library if you're interested!

          Second... Crescent is getting published this year!!! I have been hard at work on it offline and currently plan to release it wide in the fall. Because of that, I am going to be pulling it from Wattpad TODAY. Thank you so much for all the love you have given this story! It quickly became one of my favorites I have ever written, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. If you want to know more about the upcoming published version (changes, where will it be available, illustrations, etc), I will post an update about that soon--likely in the book itself.
          
          Thanks for sticking around!

I still live! Just wanted to say hi and apologize for my lack of posts. I've been very busy--my third book was published in April, I graduated from college and moved in May, and I've been settling back into life and work since---but I'm still writing! I'm currently getting Crescent ready for publishing (and hoping to release it in fall of 2026, so stay tuned!).
          
          Because of this, Wattpad has sort of taken a back seat. I still read your comments and am very thankful for everyone who is still reading, enjoying, and leaving thoughts and messages on my books! I have some projects in the works that I hope to be able to share here soon, but as of now I don't know when that will be. I can say I'm juggling a sequel to Buried in the Sea and a new story set in the world of Crescent... If either of those things interest you, stick around!
          
          And if you missed it, I competed in the ONC this year (which feels like a lifetime ago, honestly) and was shortlisted! If you like dark fantasy, creepy mirrors, and a spiral into insanity, you should check out Silvering. It's a very short read--and it's complete! ;)

Hi Turtle can I draw some fanart of princess Aiko and Felix from ashes to ashes

HELLO! It's been awhile but I'm still writing and editing and reading and all that jazz. And it's that time again where I (sort of) spontaneously decide to participate in the ONC! This novella will be set in the same world as BitS, but the storylines are completely separate from each other (so you can read one without the other, or read them in whatever order you want). I cannot promise a consistent update schedule because I usually just post whenever I finish chapters for the ONC, but I am excited to dive into this project! If you want to take a look, you can find the link to that here!

          I also did post the last chapter of BitS at the end of December. I know I forgot to announce those after awhile. Things got busy lol. But if you were waiting for that to be completed and you missed it, here it is!

Forgot to announce last week but BitS chapter five did go up! Chapter six has been posted today as well, so if you missed last week's, I guess you can have a little binge!
          
          "I want to go home."

Chapter four of Buried in the Sea is out! I also finished scheduling out the rest of the chapters so... if you're waiting to read BitS until it's complete, the last chapter should be up December 27th! ;)
          
          "You still have a job to do. You must take Elowyn to safety."

SURPRISE! I finished drafting BitS much quicker than expected, so I'm posting chapter one (and two and three lol) today! After this, I will be updating once a week on Fridays, so I'll be back with chapter four next week! I hope you all enjoy! :D

Hello and happy October 1st! It's been awhile since I've popped in here, but don't fret. I have been busily writing offline... and I'm here to announce I have a new story coming soon! It's called Buried in the Sea and, right now, the plan is to start posting at the end of October. It will be a novella--short and sweet with some healthy doses of angst--and is a standalone. If you want to know more, you can read the preface and blurb through the link below (and add the book to your library so you can be notified when chapter one comes out! :D).
          
          I'll be back with chapter one in a few weeks!
