Cover for Salt

The Thalassic Series

Fight to save humanity. Learn to save yourself.

When a mysterious message arrives from the brother she thought was dead, Bird Howsley sets off on an epic voyage to find him. But she must cross a brutal dystopian waterworld ravaged by bloodthirsty pirates, global disaster, and dark political secrets.

Determined, Bird barters passage from her surly mentor Sargo, kicking off an extraordinary nine-book quest that spans seven oceans, five dimensions, and four intertwining love stories.

Set in a unique and exquisitely detailed world full of beautiful, broken characters, The Thalassic Series sweeps you away with dark humor, toe-curling romance, and a twisting plot that keeps you guessing right up until the end.

For fans of The Hunger Games, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this series is a perfect storm of slow-burn romance and fast-paced adventure.

Covers for the Thalassic YA series

Young Adult (YA) Editions

I offer two editions of the Thalassic Series: a New Adult edition and a Young Adult edition.

The only difference between the two editions is that in the New Adult books the characters are a few years older and the books have explicit spicy scenes. The Young Adult editions do not include these scenes, so they are appropriate for teens and for people who prefer no-spice romance.

Amazon and other online retailers won't allow me to offer two versions of my series at the same time, so I offer the no-spice YA editions exclusively via this website.

Buying direct is a great way to support indie authors! It means we get to keep more of our royalties and aren't beholden to Amazon and other retailers for our income. I appreciate your willingness to buy these books from me in this way. Thank you!
