✨I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!✨ Thrilled to announce that I sold my debut fantasy series! It’s about a boy with blood magic who must compete in a deadly competition to save his mom’s soul from the Underworld. SOULCAST, the first book in the series, will be out in 2027!

Thank you @sljournal for this lovely review! This gives me so much hope that my weird little whimsical horror fantasy will find its readers! 💜💜💜

CHAI JINXED is the story of a little witch cursed with bad luck, whose only chance to save the family teashop is to go to the strictest chai school in witchdom, and win an apprenticeship with the great Wizard of Chai. 🫖 think Wizard of Oz x Kikis Delivery Service!
