Get Lost With Me

Meet the Lost

"He can see him now, the shimmering black figure in the water, lapping against the sides. J— reaches out for him, and he reaches back. There is a way off this ship. There is a door no one dares to open."

J—, the convict

"One day, when I am dead, and you are all dead, and only the story remains, it can become true. But I know what I am, and I know what I am not. I am not your witch.”

Kekeno, the swimmer

About Me

I write historical fiction full of characters on the brink, for readers who love a slow burn, a dark tale, and a wild, wild sea.
