🖤 Who Says Anxiety Isn’t Useful?

Who says anxiety doesn’t serve a purpose?

I’ve spent the last few years quietly spiraling about the collapse of Western civilization—and somehow, I turned that into a five-book romance series.

This is my debut in the romance space.

And who would’ve thought… I kind of have a knack for it?

The Agony of Almost is a love story rooted in power, betrayal, legacy, and longing. It’s layered and complicated and, in many ways, it’s the emotional map of what I’ve been carrying for years. This story has lived in my head for longer than I can remember—and I finally get to share it with you.

I’m new to Substack. New to sharing fiction at all, really.

But this world—these characters—deserve to be witnessed.

So if you’re here, thank you.

If the story moves you, share it.

If you believe in complicated love, in writing through the fire, in building something beautiful while everything else feels like it’s crumbling—stay.

Let’s build this world together.
