​#EcofantasyWIP: I Choose the Forest is my Magnum Opus (read: messy first novel). It's ecological fantasy inspired by Ursula Le Guin and Jeff Vandermeer, set in a world where people live in biomes that they physically adapt to. It's currently shelved, with no plans to query it right now. But I learned a lot from revising it and may return to it one day.

​

#UltrasWIP: I'm currently working on a queer sports romance/witch lit novel about ultras fans in Glasgow, Scotland, and Zagreb, Croatia. Comps would include: Glasgow Boys by Margaret McDonald, The Young Team by Graeme Armstrong, and Traumaland by Josh Silver. It should be in good shape and ready for querying by the end of 2026.
