Here is the new cover for the rewritten edition of "The Original Tailia #2: A Need for Peace". It uses a scrapped variant of the Book #4 cover and it fits the tone of the book better than the old cover. I'm about halfway done with the rewrite, and it should release next month. #Books #YABooks

Small Book Update: officially confirming that PILOT, TAILIA & PHOEBE: MAXIMUM SYNERGY, and the Untitled TAILIA & PHOEBE Finale are (currently) set to be my final books. #Books #YABooks #Kindle

Bit of a throwback to the first Tailia concept art I've drawn for the TAILIA & PHOEBE books two years ago in April 2024! #Books #YABooks #Kindle #KindleBooks

it's my birthday. yay.

Made a quick video showing my newest book, TAILIA & PHOEBE: IN ANOTHER LIFE! youtube.com/shorts/p58Bz... #books #YABooks #Kindle

I REALLY love how this poster turned out, so here are some alternate versions! - Landscape - Square - Portrait but "Clean" I was aiming for an 80s-90s horror movie vibe and I think it turned out cool. I'll share more info about the novel (Tailia & Phoebe: Maximum Synergy) soon! #Books #YABooks

Face the real you. TAILIA & PHOEBE: MAXIMUM SYNERGY, my next novel and the fourth entry in the Tailia & Phoebe series, is officially being written. See you soon! #Books #KindleBooks #YABooks

Just got my TAILIA & PHOEBE: IN ANOTHER LIFE copies! Pretty happy with how they turned out, although the printer Amazon used messed up the spine and saturation a bit. This is definitely an odd book even within the series itself but I really love the final result. #Books #YABooks #Kindle

While I'm going to be working on Tailia & Phoebe until Summer I did want to say that PILOT, the book that I teased a while back, is still being cooked up! I'm extremely happy with what I have so far; it's a huge and unique novel for me and I can't wait to dive into it after T&PMS :P #YABooks #Kindle

"Cheers to the best night of our freaking lives." Pleased to say that I will be able to start writing the next TAILIA & PHOEBE novel on March 20th! I'm very happy with what I've planned, and I can't wait to kick this book into full production :P #Books #YABooks #Kindle

NEW BOOK RELEASE! My YA Science-Fiction/Queer Romance Novel, TAILIA & PHOEBE: IN ANOTHER LIFE, is officially out on Kindle and in Paperback form! Both releases are now on Amazon, but the Paperback will appear in other sites later. #Books #Kindle --> amazon.com/dp/B0GQ2YDWTB

#BookBirthday! My new YA Queer Science-Fiction Romance Novel, TAILIA & PHOEBE: IN ANOTHER LIFE (+ the rewritten edition of my very first book), is officially out on Kindle! Paperback is currently pending. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B0GPWFCL2Z/ #Books #Kindle

Everything is all set for not just the release of TAILIA & PHOEBE: IN ANOTHER LIFE but for the Rewritten Edition of THE ORIGINAL TAILIA #1: THE HIDDEN JOB as well! Both will drop at the same time, with the former getting the widespread distribution. Oh right, almost forgot!

Tailia & Phoebe: In Another Life - OFFICIAL COVER Super thrilled to reveal this rather special cover; it was, exceptionally, drawn by me with Margo's approval. I'll talk all about it at a later time! The novel (YA Science-Fiction Romance) releases February 24th! #Books #Kindle

Feeling a little bit of warmth. The book releases February 24th. Cover Reveal Tomorrow. #Books #Kindle

Happy 1 Year Anniversary to the first Tailia & Phoebe novel, TAILIA & PHOEBE: ALL EYES ON ME! Time really does fly by, wow. Check it out, it's a neat book! That's it, that's the post, there's absolutely nothing else to mention. :P

It's kind of funny how "Tailia & Phoebe: In Another Life" had a Pink/Purple color-scheme since I announced it last Summer only for the final book to completely change it (not gonna spoil the new color-scheme yet though!)

happy valentine's day she's still single

Can't believe it's already been 7 months since TAILIA & PHOEBE: ROGUE released. It's by far my favorite book of mine and I highly doubt I'll write a better novel in the future. As a huge horror fan, I'm so happy I was able to write a horror story that I think is fantastic.

TAILIA & PHOEBE: IN ANOTHER LIFE - Official Preview The novel will release later this year (YA Science-Fiction Romance).

Now is a good time to say that the reason Tailia & Phoebe Shenanigans got greenlit is because the day the first FNaF Jazwares merch got revealed, Margo and I laughed so hard that it struck my inspiration to write a 35 pages long story about Tailia & Phoebe VS shit merch of them

About half of "Tailia & Phoebe: In Another Life" has been fully proofread/corrected! The book (YA Science-Fiction Queer Romance) comes out in a few months. Very excited for it to be finalized, it's easily one of my favorites.

Bonus photo with the original cover drawing:P

AHH! It turned out so good! Finally got my copies of THE RUNAWAYS SHADOW, my new novella! Really love how the Paperback turned out, the cover works so well! I'm very pleased with this book; I didn't think this stupid writing challenge would pay off. --> amazon.com/dp/B0GHFZQPXY #books

Slight change of plans: T&P4 and Pilot have swapped places. Due to Pilot looking to be the longest novel I'll ever write (with at least 6 months of writing), I decided to focus in writing T&P4 first (which is smaller scale and serves as a nice "semifinale" for the series for now)

I forgot how amazing it felt to discover new hyperfixations. For a while, I struggled to get invested in media. But this past week became absolutely insane for me and I found that cool! Have some of my new fav characters! (28 Years Later: The Bone Temple) (Life is Strange again) (I Am Their Silence)

My new book is officially out! THE RUNAWAY'S SHADOW is a novella that I wrote as a fun writing challenge and you can now read the digital version for free! There is also a Paperback edition with exclusive bonus content ($6.49). - amazon.com/dp/B0GHFZQPXY - drive.google.com/file/d/1Hl57...

THE RUNAWAY'S SHADOW, the novella that I wrote as a writing challenge, is here! The full book is available as a free PDF via a Google drive link. I hope you enjoy this short story, I had a fun time writing it. #books Side note: Paperback is still pending! drive.google.com/file/d/1Hl57...

Here is the cover I drew for my novella, THE RUNAWAY'S SHADOW, which releases JANUARY 17, 2026! This is the book that I wrote as a "writing challenge" over the course of a week. It will be available as a Free PDF, but there will also be a Paperback with Exclusive Bonus Content!

I'm actively working on the finalized version of The Runaway's Shadow. The Paperback Bonus Section is basically done, and all that's left is correcting the book and making the cover art! I'll be working on that throughout this week: if lucky, the book could release on the 17th!

WRITING CHALLENGE THREAD! (I'll share screenshots of the thread from that one other site, it'll be easier for me rather than constantly copying and pasting and it'll also allow me to regroup everything nicely)

Tomorrow. Five days to write a full story from the ground up (with 1 day maximum to come up with the whole thing). So excited to tackle this stupid-ass challenge. No idea how well this is gonna go. Again, if I'm happy with the result, I'll share it for free! (Expect daily recaps of my progress)

I have a very dumb idea that I'm debating on doing. I want to do a writing challenge. 1 full day to come up with a short story from the ground up. 1-to-3 days to write it in its entirety. And maybe 1 more day to draw a sketch as a cover art. I mean hey I have a bit of time so...

BOOK UPDATES! I figured I'd give a nice meaty update on everything* that I have planned for 2026, from the next entries in the TAILIA & PHOEBE series, to my original novel titled PILOT! *Minus the Tailia Saga rewrites (they're still in the works!) #Books #YABooks #Kindle

It has been a year of highs and lows, but I released 3 books this year and I’m so proud of me for that! So I’m going to take this always complicated end of year existential “well that happened” to appreciate: wow, I did that!! ❤️❤️ What is your “I did that” for this year?? #ghostcircus #tickettoride

Official Description for TAILIA & PHOEBE: IN ANOTHER LIFE, the third novel in the YA Science-Fiction book series. Releasing in the first half of 2026. #Books #Kindle #YABooks

Felt like doodling for the first time in a while. Have a character from Pilot, my next original novel :P

Here's a scrapped concept art for a future character in the TAILIA & PHOEBE novels! I drew this back in September 2024, but since then a lot has evolved behind the scenes including the personality of this character, and thus the design just didn't fit her anymore. So here you go!

Happy 3rd anniversary to GAMEMASTER TAILIA #1: THE PLAYGROUND The Gamemaster arc is my favorite of the Tailia saga, especially this book. It's where I finally allowed myself to take huge swings and risks with concepts and settings. I would say to check it out, but I recommend waiting a few months ;)

Writing romance is so hard because you have to make sure there's great chemistry and build-up between the characters and once the *big* moment happens you become a fucking overjoyed mess Anyway I'm having the time of my life writing rn I love these characters so fucking much help

reached 150 pages on Tailia & Phoebe: In Another Life! this one is a really fun one to write; I'm stoked to see it come to fruition! the book will likely early 2026 :P

This box contains so much death. 😅 It's really cool to have written two interactive novels in this Five Nights at Freddy's collection, and I'm delighted to own a physical, limited edition of "VIP." It's beautiful.

Went ahead and combined the Tailia Books into a TAILIA SAGA series on Amazon instead of having all three arcs as three separate series which I thought that was unethical and confusing. I much prefer treating those ten books as a whole, so this was a needed change :P amazon.com/dp/B0FYYDYJWZ

"I always wanted to make something about hope..." Introducing PILOT, an original science-fiction novel set in the 1990s about a filmmaker and an android. In production 2026. #books #kindle #yabooks
