Books for the witches and their heartbreaks
My books
I’m working on a series of seven dark fantasy novels.
They are about loss, betrayal, hope, the love shared with those who understands our pain, and the lies about ourselves and the world told by those who abuse us.
A Whispered Oath
The queen promised to save us.
But now we lie awake at night and stare into the darkness.
Every noise, a threat. Every movement, a warning.
Don’t go near the forest, for the shadows are hungry.
A Dance of Spirit and Bones – Prologue
A Violet Moon
You can’t escape death’s shadow.
You thought you were its master, but look at the pathetic, grief-ridden creature you’ve become. You’ve sold your soul, and now nothing can justify the things you did for “love”.
And you? You better keep your mouth shut, or you’ll end up like the little princess, buried deep underground.

About me
I’ve never been particularly good at writing about myself, to be honest.
Let’s see… I’m in my late twenties, but I feel like I’ve lived three or four different lives in these past years, all of them disastrous to a certain extent, but we laugh about that now. I guess this inspires me to write, as there is always something that needs to be expressed.
Writing is my way to make sense of the world around me and the feelings inside my chest, which can be quite overwhelming sometimes. I’ve always been very curious and never quite happy with the answers given to me, and I came to the conclusion that I need to think for myself if I want a fragment of what might be true. So I guess I could say that writing is my preferred form of thinking.
It’s been a fun journey so far. Especially the deep dive into nihilism. Great times.
I also enjoy graphic design and photography, especially detail shots, as they show the world through a different perspective, and I love the tiny patterns that become visible. I practice archery and play the piano. And nowadays, I live a quiet life in the countryside, close to my loved ones. Spending time in the forest makes me feel like a child again.
