For ARC Readers: my novella Ravenous Mother - A Healer is available for free right now: here

I've done a lot of things in my life. Some I'm proud of, some I'm not. But they all taught me the same thing: wasting time is a mortal sin.

A new novella

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve started working on a new Motherverse novella: Two Gatherers.


In the Sac, Gatherers do the work nobody else wants—crawling through organic tunnels, extracting food from the Greater Membrane, risking their lives for scraps.
They’re not heroes. They’re not chosen ones.
They’re just trying to survive until the Selection comes.
