Expect more blood than kissing. #monstersandmagic
Her debut novel, BLIND THE EYES, launched in 2018. Join the newsletter to get an exclusive extended ebook sneak peek.
Kaie has been creating urban legends about witches in the back wood and fairies in the snow melt since she was seven years old. She writes prickly misfits challenging the borders of the mundane, inspired by current stars Brenna Yovanoff, Kendare Blake, and Laini Taylor, and fantasy legends J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Madeleine L'Engle.
Born in Vancouver, BC, she's lived all over Western Canada and in the Scottish Highlands, and currently freelances as a business writer and marketing consultant on the Canadian side of the Pacific Northwest.
When the cost of failure is death, disobedience isn't an option.
In a drowned city where hope kills and dreams are deadly, all haunted outcast Cole wants is to be the perfect Tower drone.
A year ago, she survived an encounter with the nightmarish Mara, who devoured her disobedience and left a troublemaking ghost behind as a reminder of her fate should they return. She's finally on the verge of erasing her failure when a charismatic rebel derails her plans and exposes the dark secret at the heart of her drowned homeland.
With the dead piling up at every turn, Cole will have to untangle the lies and choose between a charming but dangerous revolutionary, holy Tower regulation, the whispers of a spectre from her past, or the call of the child within.
The race is on to take back her choices and stop the dying before the nightmares eat her alive.
A not-quite-alive girl and her not-quite-dead ghost discover trusted authorities lie, allies have their own agendas, and even the monsters wear masks in a YA dystopian dark fantasy for ages 14 and up.
The twins’ bond kept them together through the death of their parents, the memory wipe, and assignment to separate work divisions in the Towers of Refuge, the only surviving habitat in their flooded post eco-disaster city.
But when protective older sister Ange follows carefree Amy into the abandoned lower reaches of the towers, the secrets they discover below the waterline could sever their bond for good.
A dystopian dark fantasy that ranges from sterile towers to glittering clubs and abandoned tunnels, this prequel novella takes places less than a decade before Blind the Eyes and blends monsters and magic with near-future post eco-disaster cityscapes.

So Many GiveawaysJun 12, 2018 There are Dystopian Giveaway
Enter here by July 2. Coming soon: Mortal Instruments Urban Fantasy Giveaway!
Launch DayJun 01, 2018 It’s finally here!!Three years ago today, I was sitting in so-hip-it-hurts Vancouver standby Brassneck Brewery with a tasting flight, an iPad mini, and a bluetooth keyboard in front of me. Actually, I totally didn’t plan it this way. Facebook very helpfully reminded me this morning with this photo! Photographic proof that I was typing the first lines of what would eventually become Blind the Eyes on June 1, 2015. It went on sale today. Three years to the day. I mean, I wish I’d been on it enough to plan it that way, but, um. Total coincidence. ANYWAYS. Super thanks to my amazing Beta readers who slogged through the many, many drafts over the last three years and to my awesome ARC readers who are already posting reviews!! All-stars, all of you! |
