You Belong in Fantasy

Hi, I'm Luna, a cozy fantasy author who believes life is better when you're laughing your way through it. Since none of us are any one thing, I'm also a millennial geek girl obsessed with my Chihuahua, my dice collection, and whatever shiny rock I picked up last. I game too much, dream too loud, and love flipping tropes on their heads.

My stories are fresh, funny, and unapologetically female-led. They center magical outsiders, quiet rebels, and delightfully odd heroes who finally get to take up space, save the day, and eat the cheese. It's all a little weird, a little wonderful, and exactly how I like it. I hope you will too.

Intrigued? Stick around and you’ll meet sarcastic gods, enchanted taverns, magical cheese, and quests that never go as planned. This is a world for the neurodivergent kids, the quiet rebels, the daydreamers who never quite fit in.

I write the kind of books I needed growing up—where being different isn’t something to fix. It’s something to celebrate.

My characters are messy, hilarious, and deeply human, even when they’re technically not. Whether you’re here for the chaos or the comfort, I’m glad you made it to Verandel. Let’s get weird. The good kind.

READY FOR ADVENTURE?

Awesome! Here are some quick links to get you started. I recommend checking out my booksaudio, and companion games, subscribing to my cozy fantasy author newsletter for free short stories every month, or joining the Secret Scrolls Society for early access to my writing and even more magical bonus content.

Whether you’re brand-new or already a fan, I’m so glad you’re here.
