edit data

Hana has a criminology degree that sits in a cracked frame and gets far more use fueling stories about forbidden love, broken loyalties, and characters who should know better—yet never do.

When she’s not writing morally questionable romance, she’s stressing out HR at her corporate job, feeding the local crows (they know too much), losing at online chess, or rage-quitting video games she once called “relaxing.” She also occasionally gets through her endless TBR list.

Her debut novel, Blood Is Blue, is a high-stakes mafia romance full of sharp edges, slow burns, and one very inconvenient love story.
