The storm is almost here.
Fire & Storm releases in just 48 hours, and I couldn’t be more excited (or slightly terrified in that “author hitting publish” kind of way). This Technomancer novella has been one of the most personal stories I’ve written—equal parts smoldering tension, post-collapse survival, and quiet emotional reckoning.
Elle and Caleb—Ellemental and Fahrenheit—step into the spotlight here, not as world-saving icons, but as two people trying to navigate connection in a world that’s constantly burning down around them.
Expect:
Slow-burn intimacy in lightning-lit shelters
Rooftop evacuations and smoldering flashbacks
Trauma, trust, and the Technomancer bond
Echoes of the past that won’t stay buried
This novella stands alone, but it also bridges the gap between Echoes of the neXt and the upcoming full-length sequel, Burning through the neXt. If you're already deep in the world, this story will hit hard. If you're new—this is the perfect entry point.
🗓️ Release Date: August 1st
📖 Kindle & Paperback: Available on Amazon
🎧 Audiobook: In production with the brilliant Ashley Ogas as narrator
Grab your stormcloak. Fire & Storm is almost here.
