Embark on a Journey
Step into Gilded Helix: Kintsugi Soul—an unflinchingly adult tale of love, redemption, and the fragile beauty of broken lives. Explore a world where healing isn’t neat, every crack tells a story, and there's humor in every heartbeat.
A New World Awaits
the written world
You can just call me Cae. I tell stories that sit at the sharp intersection of trauma, identity, and reluctant hope. I specialize in dialogue-driven fiction that leans into flawed characters, painful pasts, and slow-burn redemption arcs, all told with wit and grace. Gilded Helix: Kintsugi Soul is my debut novel.
In my work, I don’t shy away from discomfort—I use it as a tool for empathy. My voice may be unflinching, but my aim is always connection. I write for the people who need to hear, “You don’t have to be whole to be worthy.”
Novels
Kintsugi Soul
Told in immersive, dialogue-driven prose with no chapter breaks, Kintsugi Soul flows like memory—fragmented, tender, and raw. It’s a genre-blurring mix of speculative fiction and new adult, with themes of found family and morally gray redemption, meditating on hope and the beauty of embracing our brokenness. Fans of Plain Bad Heroines and Such Sharp Teeth will feel at home in its fierce, fractured heart.
International readers of Extraordinary Attorney Woo and All of Us Are Dead will resonate with its blend of institutional critique, deep ensemble dynamics, and tender absurdity. It’s a story where trauma is never the villain and love comes in many forms.
Original Songs
A World that you can live in
Gilded Helix isn’t just a story—it’s a world you can feel. With several original songs (and modern reimaginings) woven into the narrative, I hope to one day bring them to life in professional recordings. My goal is to make this universe as immersive as a warm embrace, offering comfort even when everything else is breaking apart.
