a mermaid with a long, luminescent, striped tail and green hair sits on a rock in a dark purple grotto, holding a skull in one hand. She is surrounded by flourescent green plants and bones embedded in the rocks. There are pink reflections on the water in front of her.

The sirens are calling. Can you hear them?

I’ve got exciting news to announce on the one year publication anniversary of my sapphic horror/romance novelette:

Swim With Me, Darling is coming to audiobook format!

When I wrote this story, I wanted it to feel like a folk tale. The kind of story the locals might tell you in a tavern on a stormy night. A tale too tempting to be truly cautionary. One that would leave you saying “good for her,” while still feeling compelled to look over your shoulder as you stroll by the lake in the dark, uncertain whether that shiver down your spine is the chill of fear or …something else.

So, I could not be more thrilled to have Genevra Lupa Catalano bringing this book to life and lending her incredible voice to my siren polycule!

You can listen to an excerpt from the first chapter on my Bsky, Instagram, or Tiktok and I am certain it will have you yearning for more, just like Lana at her first glimpse of those dangerous, aquatic enchantresses.

Stay tuned for updates and release info!

(And if you’re too ravenous to wait for the audiobook, the ebook is on sale right now for Sapphic September in my itch.io shop!)
