Hello all! I have two books currently available for Kindle download (I'm hoping to get paperbacks done in the upcoming months).

My debut is The Seven. It's an urban fantasy novel that is part of a series but could also be read as a standalone as well. It's triggers involve violence, language and one instant of a non-con kiss. There's no sexual content.

My debut queer YA fantasy adventure The Wake of Saints has been out about two weeks now and early reviews have been great!

Two unlikely allies must work together to track down lost relics and restore an ancient magic in order to stop the growth of an evil empire. As the young strangers embark on their epic adventure, they’ll face iron-fisted mob bosses, disastrous shipwrecks, royal romance, murderous betrayals and – perhaps most dangerously of all – the realisation they have more in common than either could have believed . . .

Please check it out if it sounds like something you would enjoy!

The Wake of Saints

This book is the first in a trilogy. There is no explicit sexual content, but there are sex references.

Trigger warnings: depictions of prejudice (homophobia, transphobia, racism); violence; death; animal cruelty; religious trauma; references to child abuse and sex work

Synopsis: At St. Patrick's College, Abuja, everyone has a secret and some of them are to die for���
She never wanted to transfer to Saint Patrick’s College, but her parents had a different agenda. After getting expelled for sticking her nose where it didn’t belong, Adaeze is forced to move into a boarding school for the rich and influential, two things she was not.
Her first day there would have been fine if a body wasn’t found in the girl’s bathroom of Veritas Hall.
The cause of death was ruled as a suicide, an opioid overdose, but Adaeze can’t shake the feeling there was more to the girl’s death. As she retraces the steps of the victim Ogechi Nwafor, Adaeze stumbles upon a notebook filled with the secrets of her fellow students, her only clue to solving the Nwafor case.
Someone wanted Ogechi dead and now it's up to Adaeze to figure out who...

Hi Both of my books, Double Jeopardy & Oracle's Vision are the first two books of my ongoing Mirror Wars Series.

Both them are intense science fiction thrillers that have touches of Star Trek and Doctor Who, with a wee dash of horror thrown in for good measure. Packed with so many twists and suprises, they just may make your head spin!

Available from Amazon as paperback, Ebook and Kindle Unlimited. Also available as audiobooks through Audible, Google Play, iTunes and Spotify.

Thanks, Han, for putting this together! What a great way to celebrate indies!

My book is Dead Man's Curse, the first book in the Diablo series. This is a spicy thriller with motorcycle club vibes. It is the first book of the series with the rest of the series coming out every few months until it finishes next year.

There are trigger warnings:
- Profanity
- References to human trafficking
- Kidnapping (attempted and actual)
- Child sexual abuse (memories/flashes of the past, not shown in great detail)
- Child physical abuse (referred to but not shown)
- Criminal organizations and violence/killing/death
- Mental illness, specifically panic attacks and different ways they are felt
- Physical injury, specifically brain injury and wounds
- Action scenes involving automobiles, motorcycles, and weapons
- Open-door intimate scenes
- Overcoming trauma in their own way
- Medical procedures, including surgery
- Corruption in fictitious city's law enforcement and other city leaders
- Series cliffhanger – the story with this couple will resolve, but these are not standalones

There are open-door spicy scenes, but it is only to further the relationship between the characters. My readers have said they are spicy, but classy.

This book is published on Amazon in ebook and paperback, and free in KU! If you're interested, here's the link: https://mybook.to/deadmanscurse

This is my debut novel, I look forward to getting it out there more!
Thanks for doing this!!

: "Born in Space" promises an immersive journey into the depths of space and the human spirit, reminiscent of works by Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and William Gibson. With a complex plot and well-developed characters, Clift's novel stands out as a thought-provoking addition to the sci-fi genre.

💙 Hi everyone!
I’d love to introduce you to my latest novel — a story that means the world to me:
📘 Suzi – A Love You Can’t Program
What if the love of your life wasn’t human... but she saw you better than anyone ever did?
Maxwell Pazin is a man torn between memories and silence.
Suzi is the artificial intelligence he created — but what started as a project soon becomes something deeper, more emotional... and disturbingly real.
Set in a near future where loneliness and technology blur the lines of connection, this is a story about digital love, inner voids, and the desperate human need to be seen, understood... and loved back.
🌀 Part romance, part sci-fi, part soul-searching journey.
Perfect for those who believe love doesn’t always follow the rules of the world.
