Essentially, I'm your weird friend who's always lost in her own thoughts. And since I'm obsessed with the lives of fictional people anyway, I figured I might as well write it all down. Now I'm a published author writing gritty, slow burn sci-fi & fantasy with a spicy twist.
I write for the dreamers, the adventurers, and anyone who's ever looked up at the stars and thought, "What if...?"
So, if you've ever thought reality is overrated and felt the itch to escape into darker, grittier worlds, where danger is a constant companion and love simmers beneath the surface for an unbearably long time, welcome home.
LOOKING FOR YOUR NEXT READ?
Three years ago, Captain Sasha Barrett was declared dead.
Now she's back — with mysterious implants, a score to settle, and a ship falling apart at the seams.
Zaven Adhzivian has spent those same three years drowning his grief in bad decisions and worse company. The last thing he needs is his not-so-dead former captain crashing back into his life with the same reckless smile and a cargo hold full of trouble.
And Castin Baltraz? Once Sasha's squad mate and Zaven's oldest BFF, he's been totally lost in life without his two closest friends (who he just happens to have the hots for - yes, both of them).
Together, they're a catastrophe waiting to happen:
Throw in a mysterious research facility, a galaxy-spanning conspiracy, and a growing attraction that's complicated as hell, and you've got a recipe for disaster... or the adventure of a lifetime.
In the dark corners of space, second chances come with a body count.
Phantom Vengeance delivers pulse-pounding action, sizzling tension, and characters who'll steal your heart while they're busy stealing everything else. This isn't your polished, pristine sci-fi — it's messy, passionate, and dangerously addictive.
Ready to dive into a galaxy where the line between hero and outlaw is blurrier than a ship's windows during hyperjump? Grab RAVAGING PHANTOM now and buckle up — this crew doesn't believe in smooth landings!
