Five books, and one very old secret.
Remnants of the First is my debut series. It’s dark fantasy romance with a murder in the middle of it, set in a world where supernaturals live out in the open, and it follows a forensic psychologist who is about to find out she isn’t entirely what she thought she was.

About Athena
Writer, reader,
chronic rewriter.
I’m Athena. I’m an introverted, moon-obsessed Gemini with entirely too many fictional people living in my head rent-free. I need to start charging them, honestly, I might actually be rich by now.
I write dark romance with murder in it, and the kind of supernatural mystery where a throwaway sentence in chapter two turns out to matter a lot by chapter twenty.
I hide breadcrumbs everywhere. If you flip back three chapters going wait... did she mean that? Yes. I probably did.
Basically, I write the books I want to disappear into.
More about AthenaIf a story doesn’t make me a little obsessed, I don’t write it.
