COMING SOON...
We MAy Be Fractured
A Queer YA coming-of-age with a touch of romance that explores the complexities of love, identity, grief, and the true meaning of home.
Eighteen-year-old Aaron is on the brink of fleeing London for Australia, hoping to honour his late sister’s dream. But on the eve of his departure, a community service sentence derails his plans, pulling him into an unintentional journey of self-discovery.
As Aaron navigates love, comes to terms with his demisexuality, and redefines the true meaning of home, he finds that sometimes, the most challenging journeys are the ones that lead us back to ourselves.

“I’m more than a few labels. I’m more than a name, a gender, an ethnicity, a sexual orientation, a nationality, or a job title. I contain multitudes. I’m a mix of everything and nothing, all at once.”

AfraiD of the dark?
not at all.
Well, it works both ways: you can’t see others, and they can’t see you,
And here’s a fun fact: people who are colour blind see better in the dark.”
Afraid of what you can’t see, are you?
BULLSHIT.
Is it the dark you fear, or is it … me?”
neither.
You’ve never scared me.
Your heart’s racing
You’re not the psycho people say you are. But you seem to like that idea, or maybe you want it.
Your heart’s going fast too.
What are you afraid of?
can i?
can you what?
Kill me and hide my body in these ruins?
kiss you.
I only accept binary answers.
Can I kiss you? Yes or no?”
yes.

Early readers' comments
“Saying I was hooked would be putting it mildly. When I wasn't nose-deep in the pages, I was practically counting down the minutes until I could dive back into the story. It's like, the plot just kept me guessing. And your characters? They grabbed hold of my heart right from the get-go. It was like going on this wild emotional ride that I never wanted to end. The love story was like nothing I've ever read before. I mean, seriously, it had me all in my feels. There wasn't a single dull moment in the whole book.”
I finished it very quickly and the chapters didn't feel too long. The story was incredibly intriguing and I found it difficult to put the book down.
I was moved by Landon and Aaron's romance, particularly throughout chapter 21. Their romance felt real, and I could imagine them as real people with real battles to fight, while trying to come together in love and acceptance.
It was beautiful to read.
Which chapter resonated with you the most, and why?
It wasn’t a long one, but I think it was
Chapter 32 - STAY
In that chapter a lot of things came to light, the non-alcoholic drinks, the way they felt about each
other, beginning to figure out what it meant to be together and supportive. But they were also
seeking therapy for themselves and making sure they had the tools to help themselves.
All of that really spoke to me and who I grew into as a gay man — it was until I was able to do those things that I finally felt ready for a relationship, and that’s when I met the man who became my husband, so to me it made a special connection to my life.
While I often read books that contain romance, more often than not I find romance storylines in books cringey and unnecessary. Aaron and Landon's romance felt authentic, and I enjoyed seeing their relationship progress as they figured themselves out and fought their battles. The slow-burning passion they had for each other felt genuine, and the tension built around their first kiss was enticing.
