About
I'm a disabled, queer novelist and screenwriter. Every piece I write represents a little part of me, be it my queerness or disabilities. I write stories rooted on found family, discovering yourself, and realising it's okay to ask for help.

There's just one caviat: her dad is coming to town. And Daisy has been hiding her transition from him from the beginning.Gideon Penelope Morales McKenna is the most positive person you'll ever meet. At least, that's what they’ll let you to believe. But being misgendered every week by a transphobic teacher while masking their negative emotions is hard. Their goal is simple: Get their teacher fired while keeping their cool. But that proves harder and harder as it seems the universe keeps sending them things to stress over.When Connie finds her grandmother's journals detailing her life as a pagan witch, Connie sees this as an opportunity to help her friends. But when a ritual goes wrong and a love spell is accidentally cast, the group's lives take a strange turn.Emotions are high, feelings get hurt, and nothing will ever be the same.
