Bio
Meet the Writer
Jude grew up pressed between ink-stained pages and Florida’s heavy heat. They lived off books and birdseed until the sky cracked open and gave them the rain. Watered well, they are now a proud parent and writer, digging deep to unearth tales that need to be told. From a child’s eyes to a city’s heartbeat, Jude strives to pull words from the stars that ring true, telling the stories of those so often overlooked.

Burning Green
After losing her father, Rowan’s grief-flattened world bursts open when she meets Sloan: a wild, clove-smelling girl who feels like sunlight in fog. The two form an intense bond built on secret rituals, midnight dares, and the kind of honesty Rowan hasn’t shared with anyone in months. But when an adult misreads their closeness and brands it as something shameful, their friendship fractures, leaving Rowan to navigate despair, guilt, and the sudden silence where Sloan used to be. As Rowan tries to piece together what remains, she must learn how to carry a love she was never supposed to apologize for.

Witching Hour
In a world where fae and humans coexist uneasily, “Witching Hour” follows a tangled uprising of rebellion and the search for belonging. Cody, a fiercely independent fairy with a knack for turning city walls into art, finds herself pulled into a web of secrets after a chance encounter with Takuto, a transgender shifter struggling to reconcile his past and his place in a society that fears him.As personal struggles collide with political currents, the story unfolds across gritty streets, restless magic, and the quiet moments where people choose who they want to become. Witching Hour is a fierce blend of contemporary fantasy, mystery, and raw emotion, an intimate portrait of love, loss, and the stubborn power of defiance.
