Hey I'm KJ!
I released my debut novel this year - it's called Cavernous and it's a contemporary fantasy romance story about a team of women scientists discovering a lost underground world. I'm currently drafting the second book in the series and I'm really hoping to get a new swell of readers (and hopefully reviews!) as my writing partner and I gear up to releasing the audiobook and print version!
We are a brand new and totally self-funded publishing team, which is a route we've intentionally chosen from the beginning because Cavernous is firmly for an 18+ audience but we knew it wouldn't slot nicely into the current smut/romantasy/spicy book space. (It's queer! It's offbeat! It's got BIPOC protagonists! The characters aren't all 19!) and also because we think that these days, frankly, going underground, DIY, and indie is the coolest way to go.
I'll include a blurb and link below, and want to thank you in advance for any sort of support you can give! Even if this isn't your cup of tea, we'd so appreciate it if you passed on the word to someone who might like it. We need all the help we can get, and any little bit means the world to us <3
CAVERNOUS
A prince lamenting a lost love. A mysterious mineral hidden in the mountains of the Caucasus. A team of scientists, each in their own way ready to turn a new page...
An ambitious geologist and her eclectic team of colleagues turn their lives upside down when a caving expedition goes terribly awry and uncovers a lost subterranean kingdom.
Trapped miles underground in this glittering, antiquated world, the scientists scramble to find the ancient map of legend which will chart their way home. As it turns out, entering a ritual contest of seduction might just be the only way to get close enough to the royal family to find it. Assuming false identities, the three women must scheme, charm, and lie their way through the sensually charged aristocracy of this strange new place, hanging on to a thread of hope that they’ll manage it without getting romantically entangled…
But luck has never been on their side.
