I write urban fantasy about grief, love, and identity: what happens when people decide who you are before you've worked it out yourself. The Bloodspark Series mixes the mundane with the extraordinary on purpose, because tenderness and catastrophe rarely wait for a good moment.

Arcing Spark

Remember being eighteen? Remember being convinced everyone else knew who they were?Kal is living it: broke, directionless, grieving her parents, and one minor inconvenience away from telling everyone what she thinks of them.Then she meets Ida: rich, bright-haired, terrible with boundaries, fond of abandoned buildings. Ida looks at Kal, who has spent her whole life feeling invisible, as if she already knows exactly who she is. Which is more than Kal can say for herself.One night there's a street fight, lightning arcing across a construction site, and a light between Kal's hands and Ida's that nobody, Kal least of all, can explain.Kal is definitely not the chosen one.
Unfortunately, the lightning, the blood magic and everyone she meets seem to disagree.The truth about her parents' deaths won't let her walk away, and Ida has an answer for everything Kal doesn't know about herself. Which would be more comforting if Ida weren't keeping secrets of her own.Being special, it turns out, isn't something you are. It's something people do to you.Arcing Spark is for readers who:like queer fantasy with more emotional baggage than sword fights
think "secret magical society" sounds suspiciously like "cult with paperwork"
would rather have an honest ending than a tidy oneFor fans of Leigh Bardugo and V.E. Schwab who want their urban fantasy darker, queerer, and unwilling to settle for easy heroes.
