Novels
This is my favorite type of thing to write. When the story and the characters I'm writing impact and inspire me even though I'm literally their writer, and I know they'll impact someone else...love that! Sharing my works so that others will feel what I feel is one of my biggest goals. I love the feeling of reading a novel and loving it, and I want to provide that feeling for others too.

Hair Strands (2014 - )
A story about a sixteen-year-old girl named Renay Cohenski, who gets expelled from her old school and goes on a journey of finding herself when starting anew at a new school. I finished this in 2016 or 2017. During and after the writing process, I edited it time and time again as I grew older and developed new perspectives. Now, I intend to heavily edit it for the final time before publishing it. I expect it will be around 400 pages when published.
The Alibis of Six Baristas (2018 - )
A leap into the lives of six New York café coworkers in their early twenties after a massive bank robbery takes place in their city. Thriller / "crime" (I mean, we don't like the police nor the justice system nor capitalism) + sci-fi. I've had the idea for this in my head for so long and I envisioned it as a TV series but alas, I don't have the power to make that happen (yet, we pray) so let me just write. This novel is...part one of a *series with standalone potential* lmao. Ideally, I would like it to be followed by two more books, insha Allah. I've written 30,000 words as of 18th Feb, 2021.

August 2023 update: Been querying! :) This is the first book I have queried ever. Very hopeful in this journey and whatever the outcome, I know it'll be a highly beneficial experience and I will learn a lot (have been learning SO much it's insane...and meeting new writer friends too! Yay!).

of temples and skies (2022 - )
A romance! Of the sapphic variety! 2 film students, a viral YouTube video, and a student exchange program to Singapore. Still working out some storyline points as of August 2023, but hoping to finish it by the end of the year, question mark? Aiming for 75k words.
