House of Monstrous Women releases today.

It's a story of oppression, liberation, sacrifice, and hope that refuses to be extinguished.

I am beyond lucky to have written this story and even luckier to share it with all of you. From the bottom of my heart:

Thank you.

Things have never felt more fucked. When the world tries to silence you, keep shouting.
