Hello readers! I am a writer of contemporary and historical romance in settings from Los Angeles to London, featuring creative adult characters of many ethnicities and genders, ranging in age from their late teens/early twenties to sixties and beyond. If you are looking for characters who are active in the arts (whether professionally or as amateurs), give one of my books a try. My common themes include loss and recovery, career reinvention, self-discovery, and the collaboration of equals.

My books self-published as A.Y. Caluen and published by JMS Books LLC as Alexandra Caluen are all available in wide release, so if you don’t see a link to your preferred platform (such as Apple Books) on the QRI book page, search your platform by author name to find me!

I’m inspired by authors like KJ Charles, Laurie R. King, Dick Francis, and Jennifer Crusie. I lived and worked in Los Angeles 1995-2025, but have now relocated to western North Carolina.

Summary: Captain Marta Ramos, the most notorious pirate in the Duchy of Denver, has her hands full between fascinating murder mysteries, the delectable and devious Delilah Nimowitz, Colonel Geoffrey Douglas (the Duke of Denver’s new head of security), a spot of airship engineering and her usual activities: piracy, banditry and burglary. Not to mention the horror of high society tea parties. In contrast, Simms, her second in command, longs only for a quiet life, filled with tasty sausages and fewer explosions. Or does he? Join Captain Ramos, Simms and their crew as they negotiate the perils of air, land and drawing room in a series of fast-paced adventures in a North America that never was. Murder on the Titania and Other Steam-Powered Adventures includes 4 novellas and a short story about piracy, banditry, burglary, jail-breaking, several brilliant bits of detective work and all manner of otherwise lawless hijinks performed by the valiant Captain Ramos and her crew. Murder on the Titania: Colonel Geoffrey Douglas, the Duke of Denver’s new head of security, is drawn into a high society murder mystery on the Airship Titania. None of the passengers are quite what they seem, including the mysterious young woman who always turns up where she is least expected. The Curious Case of Clementine Nimowitz (and Her Exceedingly Tiny Dog): A simple burglary goes horribly awry when Captain Ramos and Simms stumble across a dead body, a small dog and the deceased’s heirs, the noisome Morris and the rather too interesting Delilah. The Jade Tiger: A mysterious woman enlists Captain Ramos’s aid in getting her revenge on her former employer and Captain Ramos finds herself doing an unintentional good deed. The Ugly Tin Orrery: Captain Ramos and her crew embark on what appears to be a perfectly ordinary train robbery, only to be drawn into the Duke of Denver’s political machinations via a strange metal artifact. Throw in a spot of jail breaking and an encounter with the lovely Delilah, and it’s all in a day’s work for Captain Ramos and Simms. The Flying Turk: The Airship Titania is entering a new era and welcoming its first automaton pilot. Or, perhaps not. Captain Ramos and Simms are back aboard the Titania for a heady mix of murder, robbery, peeved scientists and oblivious peers, with a spot of engineering thrown in.

Summary: Kulap Rose Thongsi rode the rollercoaster of the Thai Y-series industry for almost ten years until a scandal sidelined him. Starring in My Reality the Series is his last hope. His agent reminds him regularly that if Rose doesn’t succeed or violates his contract, he won’t get the balloon payment Picture Perfect owes him. Noknoi Ayutthaya never wanted the pressure of being the lead in a drama. His agent has given him an opportunity he can’t in good conscience refuse when his family is in debt and his sister’s school payment is due. He doesn’t expect to get the part, but he’s going to give it his best shot. Falling in love was not part of Rose’s life script, but with Nok he can’t help himself. Will they be able to succeed in the Thai Y-series industry while keeping their love a secret? The industry might accept same-sex romance in drama, but in real life it could destroy careers… and lives.
