Love and Other Alien Concepts
What if you found out your boyfriend was an alien?
When 37-year-old engineer Kate trades in her astronaut dreams for a stable corporate career, she thinks she's made peace with her mundane existence. After a string of dating disasters, she's sworn off relationships—until she meets Elek, who seems almost too perfect to be human.
Turns out he isn't.
Whisked away to Elek's home planet of Sequ, Kate discovers a world split between the high-tech paradise of Sequmors and the nature-harmonious Sequvita. As a child of both islands, Elek walks a precarious political tightrope. But when citizens start vanishing from Sequvita—with Sequmors as the prime suspect—Kate's engineering mind can't help but investigate. The deeper they dig, the more secrets surface, forcing Kate to question everything she knows about the man she's falling for.
Sometimes, the scariest part of uncovering the truth isn't what you find; it's deciding what to do with it.
Love & Other Alien Concepts is a spicy adult sci-fi romance that proves love is universal, but trust is another planet entirely. With plenty of rom-com vibes, a dash of mystery, and a hefty sprinkle of steam, this debut novel combines foul-mouthed honesty with heart-warming vulnerability.
Behind the Story
What started as a personal quarantine project—intended to be a single printed copy for my own bookshelf—transformed into something bigger thanks to the incredible support of my writing group, Quill & Cup. As a full-time engineer by day and author by night, I wanted to create the kind of story I longed to read: one where smart women can be both brilliant professionals and hopelessly romantic, where science and love aren't mutually exclusive, and where adventure doesn't have an age limit.
This book is for every woman who's ever felt held down by others, too practical for wild dreams, or too busy for love. It's also for every aspiring author who thinks they can't pursue publishing while maintaining a career—trust me, you can. Sometimes, the best stories come from the moments when we dare to prove ourselves wrong.

Spicy Fantasy Romance Coming April 2025: Title TBA
Some secrets are meant to be kept. Some powers are meant to break free.
​
Behind the impenetrable walls of a fortress-like castle, a princess harbors magic that makes even her father, the king, tremble. Kept hidden from the world—and from herself—she's never questioned why she must remain in the shadows. Until now.
​
When a mysterious ghostly stag appears at the castle walls, and a charismatic castle worker catches her attention, the carefully constructed barriers around her begin to crack. But which is more dangerous: the wild magic threatening to break in or the power within her fighting to break out?
​
In this spicy fantasy romance, one woman's journey to self-discovery threatens to unravel a kingdom built on fear. The most dangerous person in any room isn't always the one with the crown—sometimes, it's the one who's finally discovered her worth.

Witchy Murder Mystery Work in Progress Title TBA
Every story has a villain. But who decides which witch is which?
In a world where magic leaves fingerprints, and every spell casts a shadow, one witch's quest for justice blurs the lines between right and wrong.
They say history is written by the victors.
But in this game of magical cat and mouse, victory might just belong to whoever tells their story first. Because in a world of witches and murder, perspective is everything—and sometimes, the scariest discoveries aren't about others but ourselves.
This wickedly twisty tale challenges everything you think you know about good and evil, asking the ultimate question: If you didn't know you were reading the villain's story, would you still recognize the monster?
A spellbinding murder mystery where nothing is black and white—except maybe the magic.
STORY UPDATE
This deliciously dark tale is in its early stages, with the basic plot mapped out and ready for its full draft development. Using Kimberly Grymes' plotting workbook as a guide, this witch is preparing to work her literary magic during the wintery to spring months.
As the story unfolds, more details will emerge, but for now, remember that not all witches are evil—and not every hero wears a white hat.
Content Note: This story will contain mature themes, magical mayhem, and murder mystery elements.
Sci-Fi Series Coming 2026
This is currently in the brainstorming phase and is super top secret. Seriously. Like you need clearance to know about it. Or maybe subscribing to my newsletter might get you some insight? But you didn't hear it from me!

Fine. One hint: it stems from my childhood obsession of the Mayans and Egyptians, and my adult obsession with Norse Gods. And... of course, my love for science fiction.
