Sunday Times Bestselling Author | VOIDWALKER 2025 | THE PHOENIX KEEPER out now! | bi woman 🏳️‍🌈❤️💜💙 | she/her | rep John Baker

A woman with a shocked expression, holding a hand up to her mouth, and holding a copy of the book The Phoenix Keeper.
Colorful bookshelves in dim light, with a diagonal swath of sunlight falling across some of them.
What's different? The Phoenix Keeper: cozy fantasy, F/F sapphic romance, sweet, social anxiety, low magic, contemporary world, introvert who wants to hide in a corner and avoid all people. Voidwalker: monster romantasy, F/M bi4bi romance, spicy, forgiving yourself, hard magic, splintered realities, smuggler who uses an energy sword to solve her problems.
What's the same? Bisexual MC, a friendly carnivorous horse, a truly unproductive amount of pining, "help, the love interest terrifies me, but I also find this hot for some reason", importance of building community.
A graphic titled Compare and Contrast. Two book titles are placed side by side, The Phoenix Keeper with an image of orange and gold phoenixes in flame, and Voidwalker with an image of a woman walking through a night forest as a creature perches in a branch above her.
