A PI looking for a missing kid in a city of monsters is met with a fae challenge. If she wishes to find the boy, she must endure the touch of fire and ice...

A short story featuring temperature play and a prejudiced woman learning to do better.

Excerpt:

The job seemed simple enough. Track down a missing child and return him to his parents. Missing children always tugged the heart, but for an investigator who was willing to deal with the others, nothing stayed missing for long. A complex web of barter and debts brought witch-forged spells to her hands. When a missing person’s case landed at her door, she activated the seeking spell, and always found the answer she needed. The answer was there this time too. But this once knowing the answer might not do any good.

Monster District

Off limits to humans, the District was the magic-twisted home of creatures from nightmare. Not just witches, but fae, long, rakshasa, shape changers, and much more. Rumors even told of a child of Anansi who had taken up residence in the forsaken place. Now, Selma stood on the edge of the District...

About the Author

Jess' weird fish-out-of-water life has left them with an enduring love/hate affair with common tropes. The relationship counselor recommended they break it off, but they just keeps coming back to play with tropes (and fuck them up) some more.

In between their tropic indulgences, they write queer fantasy with aromantic, neurodivergent, and generally 'weird' characters, take care of their family, argue halakha, and try to do a bit of educational activism on the side.

They're active on Tumblr, Mastodon, and a few other spots around the web.
