It's pride month! And you can read my queer books for the low, low price of free! ✨

The duology is a low-stakes, cosy romance, set in the Viking age, between Ulvar, a chieftain's son, and Niketas, a stowaway from Miklagardr.

Available in both PDF and Epub!

IT'S JUNETEENTH! There is still so much fucking work to do in this country to clean up the blood it was built on and so many reparations owed.

One of the small ways we can help is actively seeking out, hiring, supporting and buying from Black artists.
