As a woman who suffers from depression and social anxiety, I’ve made it my mission to candidly share my experiences with the hopes of helping others dealing with the same. This extends into my fiction work, where I pen tales about woeful women trying their best, with a surrealist, magical touch. Inspired by surrealist authors like Haruki Murakami, Sayaka Murata, and Lemony Snicket, my stories are dark and humorous with a hint…well, a bunch…of absurdity.

It was a nice short story. I enjoyed the plot, looking forward to the next book. Great pacing to the storyline I hope the next book has more character development. "

I can't believe I forgot to do my biased rating! Haha, I had fun with this novella. I love writing short little literary snacks. If you enjoy weird tiny books about perpetually sighing women who sleep with monsters...this is the book for you!

“As all fallen child prodigies eventually discover, once your age outpaces your talent, the “special” label that was firmly placed on you in your youth is ceremoniously ripped from your chest in an almost cruel manner.”
Jacque Aye, How to Be a Better Adult

“My life belonged to her, and if she deemed magic too risky for my mortal hands, I trusted her. But still, I was curious.”
Jacque Aye, I Live to Serve the Witch

“This isn’t how I imagined this to go. How’d this stray so far from the plot?”
