About
I moved around a lot growing up. The movement made it into me blood, and I have never lived in the same house for more than four years. For now, I live in B.C., surrounded by lakes and trees with my brother and my cat. I took my time to get to know my path in life, first with a quick jaunt through the scientific realm of psychology and biology, but I quickly went back to artistic endeavors. Alongside my writing, I take care of my mom who suffers from a rare autoimmune disorder. Between writing and caretaking, I can be found playing videogames, drawing, and taking long walks.

Illysoverse Novels
shadowless
As a Beastblood-Emberstead halfie, Adrianne McCarthy is no stranger to criticism. Without being able to shift into her beast form, however, her personal shame bleeds on to her family. She’s Shadowless, linked to the world of the dead.
In her final year of Guardian training, Adrianne is desperate to prove herself. Striving to exceed everyone’s expectations, she agrees to help train a new advanced team on top of her Medic classes and gruelling clinical work. Despite her efforts, she is met with disrespect from the team and skepticism from her superiors, leaving her to wonder if her choice to be a Medic is really what she wants.
When a rebel uprising intersects with Adrianne’s struggle to find her own way, she’s faced with a choice between following social expectations or her intuition and is left more broken than ever. Reconciling with her true nature is the key to finding her place in the fight—unless it kills her first. Now, at the crossroad of who she’s been and who she really is, Adrianne finds that her connection to death is a strength beyond her imagination.
