ABOUT ROXIE

Gender Fluid | Omnisexual | Disabled | Neurodivergent | Ethical Non-Monogamist

Roxie Voorhees (she/he/they) is the type of ghoul people call a great slay. She is a tangled threesome of Gag me with a Spoon, Welcome to the Darkside, and Catch me Outside. When she isn’t reading, she is writing, and when she isn’t writing she is creating something with her hands while binge-watching Buffy.

Originally from Central California, he now resides with his service dog, a mastador named Bellatrix, in Central Arkansas, where he refuses to use the word y'all, is hella progressive, and dreams of using the bathroom without it being a political stance. 

Roxie has come out as gender fluid! They prefer any pronouns and don't mind being included in women specific lists, but asks you please note their fluidity.

NORD

NORƉ, a Yule horror novella, presents two distinct narratives set underneath The Wild Hunt. Both steeped in Norse mythology, you follow the ghostly procession as it travels from the northernmost point to the southern coast of Norway. In Geiranger, Astrid—on the cusp of womanhood, grapples with matters of the heart in her tiny village. Meanwhile, in Tunsberg, two brothers clash in a Balder and Loki retelling after the demise of the king.

Complete with glossary and translations.

THE LONGEST THIRST

When Lillian killed her father, getting the blood out of her dress was the least of her worries. The Native woman on her left will soon prove to be a blessing, or a curse. Just as hope all but evaporates on the cracked earth of the Mojave, a beacon of light shines in the center of a silver mining town, Calico.

Born into the rigidity of classism, Lillian struggles with the welcoming hospitality of the town and its inhabitants. Convinced this respite is brief, she prepares to return the woman to her people, and flee her crime. Even so, Calico softens her heart and Lillian soon feels she belongs.

But a stranger gallops into Calico. His presence commands obedience, and soon he finds what he is looking for, 

Lillian.

And they have unfinished business.
