ACD stands for After Climate Disruption. It’s a fantasy world where, after the climate collapse, two types of energy emerged and saved humanity: natural Ability and Crystal energy. Humanity rebuilds the world and even reaches the stars, all because of the energies and inventions around them.

The ACD series follows stories set in a post-climate-disruption world, from humanity’s first discovery of energies to reaching the stars. At its core, it’s about bonds that endure through difficulties: about love and respect that must be freely given, or it become prisons, and also about messy, deeply human connections that refuse to break, no matter what.

Yes. The ACD series centers on MM romance. The worldbuilding explores a post-climate-disruption reality where people, fighting to survive, put aside many of the prejudices, but only to invent new ones.

Yes. The series features multiple POV characters whose stories interconnect across books. The narrative includes diverse protagonists, both MM romance (Taj and Song, Jo and Ruben, Jo and Aldo) and MF relationships (Rowan and Wei, Luna and Si, Risa and Avery). Characters from different series eventually cross paths in unexpected ways.

The series features slow-burn MM and FM romance, soulmates, found family, and morally gray characters. The stories focus on emotional intimacy, loyalty, free choice, possession, tragic past and also bonds that endure through challenging circumstances.

The series features slow-burn romance with moderate heat. The focus is on emotional connection and relationship development rather than explicit scenes.

The Crystaler Series is a new post-apocalyptic MM romance fantasy that I write. The first book explores the world’s origins, and it follows Jo, Ruben, and Aldo: three men whose complicated relationship shaped the natural energy cult and the first creation of Crystal energy.

Expect a tighter POV structure, more Crystal art (◊!), and a deeper dive into MM romance dynamics. The books reveal how humanity artificially created Crystal energy and the choices that defined this invention. The relationships explore complex queer dynamics between three men, the science is more prominent, and the emotional stakes are higher.

Read the Taj and Song trilogy in publication order: Elements (Book 1), Bridges (Book 2), and Horizons (Book 3). The books follow interconnected story lines across multiple POV characters, with relationships and plot threads that build throughout the series. While each book focuses on different characters, the main arc follows Taj and Song’s journey.

The Taj and Song trilogy (Elements, Bridges, Horizons) is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited. You can read the complete series for free with your KU subscription. You can also read the series for free on Royal Road and Tapas.

The trilogy contains mature themes including toxic and manipulative relationships, violence in political contexts, trauma, grief, and power dynamics. The series also includes a recovery arc for a character healing from sexual abuse trauma. These themes are handled thoughtfully within the romantic fantasy framework, with a focus on healing and growth rather than graphic detail.

The completed trilogy consists of three full-length novels. Each book ranges from approximately 130,000 to 160,000 words. Plan for a substantial reading commitment to follow the characters’ journey across 200 years.

Yes. The trilogy has a happy ending. While the journey includes grief, loss, and tough choices, the series ends with hope and resolution for the main characters.
