Growing up in a small Texas town, the stories I loved the most were the ones that were able to transport me to somewhere else entirely, fantastic other worlds painted on the page so vividly they just had to be real.

By day, I navigate the wild world of tech and finance—because, you know, someone has to pay the bills.

"The Legend of Nohvan" has been my latest two-year obsession, and I have just released the first book in the series, "The Ninth Element"

When I'm not battling spreadsheets and Python programming or mythical beasts, you can usually find me in the kitchen, testing new flavors (sometimes successfully, sometimes... not so much). And I absolutely love to travel! Exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and se

Author. Mum. Coffee-fuelled chaos wrangler. Believer in flawed heroes and impossible dreams.

A proud mum and lifelong daydreamer, Rebekah started writing with one goal in mind: to show her daughter that dreams are worth chasing.

When she is not lost in books, she’s at home on the east coast of Australia, chasing down her small human, and pandering to a cat who never quite figured out how to “cat” properly.

Katelin LaMontagne

I'm twenty-three years old, currently in college, and an avid book reader. I'm an animal lover, as can be seen with my profile picture.

I recently picked up the hobby of writing, and Surge is my first attempt at a novel. It's the beginning of a series, so there's more to come in the future. If you liked the book, please leave a review. Thanks.
