Renaivolutionaries

(R&R writers for short)authors who made their debut during the pandemic and continue to create in the chaotic era of the 2020’s are at an intersection between Revolution and Renaissance- existing between existential reflection, rage, and hope as resistance. We’re tearing things down while healing and building. We’re like the phoenix- while the world burns we evolve and build from the ashes.

The Gravity Between Us launches this month on Patreon. Will you be reading?

Summary:

Loss changes you.

Sometimes it changes the world, too.

One day, my husband was beside me. The next he was gone. Not just missing, but forgotten by everyone. Everyone but me. Grief cracked something open. Now the world around me is shifting. Light bends. Time falls. Shadows watch. But I still remember him. I don’t know what I’m stepping into. But I know one thing. I’ll find him, or I’ll tear the seams of reality trying.

The Gravity Between Us is a modern fantasy romance about the kind of love that holds on even when memories fade and the world falls apart.

If you enjoy:

💜Modern fantasy romance

💜Black led stories

💜Emotional, character driven narratives

💜Fae lore with a twist

💜Themes of memory, loss, and enduring love

💜Cozy, hopeful HEA endings
