the author
Hi! I'm Shy.
I'm a nonbinary lesbian author based in Indiana, and I'm dedicated to putting more stories in the world that feature queer characters laughing, crying, and falling in love. I have 5 cats (don't ask, I know) and an endless TBR pile. Thank you for coming along on this journey with me!
Current Project
Eterna
Eterna is an unapologetically queer sci-fi fantasy about superheroes, aliens, magic, and the terror of falling in love.
Imagine if Carry On by Rainbow Rowell and Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir had a baby, and that baby was a nonbinary, dimension-hopping, smartass supervillain and a buff, lesbian, dumbass superhero.
Eterna is the first in a duology and is currently in the querying process.
Work in Progress
Nyx
Nyx picks up where Eterna left off, following Chia and Clay as they travel back to their home planet—with something sinister in tow.
Can our heroes (and villains) save the world, get the girl, and look cool while doing it?
Probably not, but it'll still be one hell of a ride.
Nyx is the second and final installment of the Eterna series, and is currently in the drafting process.
On deck
Dearly
If Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune was a sapphic horror novel.
This novel is currently in the planning stage.
