In this tangled web I lay me down Hidden from Both sight and sound A maze of the mind I'm centered here The chaos, the pain Running clear Through the hedges And the rows Inside, A crystal vision glows I understand What it's drawn me to Not a #labyrinth, but All paths lead back to you. #vss365

‘You, Me, and What’s In Between’ reveals the ups and downs of modern day relationships from family, to friendships, to romance and the self from a #queer, #autistic perspective. It is a story I hope to traditionally publish one day! Here is an example: #Booksky 💙📚 #poetry

Currently re-reading ‘It’s Not Unusual to be Loved by an Alien’ in preparation for enjoying the third book in the series. I love the characters! They are extra in the best way. I love books with a great balance between humour, romance, spice 🌶️ and plot! #Booksky 🌈🚀✨

I recently started work on a new #queer #sci-fi #romance short story called ‘Mission: Kissable’. Yes, it’s a play on ‘Mission: Impossible’. It’s meant to be fun! #Booksky 💙📚
