Under the Ocean's Thrall
Welcome back to the Hydroverse.
Fallen: Darkness Ascending
Dark Angelic Pacts. The price of power is never what it seems. Those who make deals with the unseen forces must pay in ways far more terrifying than they ever imagined.
IT ALL BEGINS WITH AN IDEA
Once the voices become louder, my hands become a vessel and worlds slowly bloom.
I make an effort to utilize minorities as my character leads in the books I write. I feel this is my calling. How โmany times have I, myself, searched high and low for romance/dark romance... or any book for that mater... โthat had characters I could relate to? Only to come up with very few or none at all.
It shouldnโt have to be this way.โ
I want to be able to bring these worlds to the people who arenโt normally heard. I want to be able to be an โopen enough indie author to always be an ear for those who need it - to be able to create something โbeautiful my readers can be proud to be a part of.โ
