i'm all about mundane intimacy and exploring the complexities of human connection / writing about flawed people navigating deep trauma, healing, & the messy realities of unconditional love.
“To my younger self: 2020 broke me, so I wrote us a way out of the dark.”
This is a sapphic love story, but more than that, it's about finding a safe place in someone to simply exist as you are. To believe that even in your darkest moments, there is a sliver of hope hidden behind someone's smile. And to realize that true healing can come from the silent, unconditional intimacy of mundane moments.

Five years into their marriage, the world's most advanced generative AI threatens to replace human authors and creators, scrape the internet to steal the best literature and art, and churn out cheaper versions to monopolize the market. Taylor's books have become the prime target of venture capitalists and corporate boards, investing in AI to breach Taiyaki Tech's servers.
Taylor wants to liberate the industry, and Karlie has to build an independent internet specifically for human art to fulfill her wife's vision. Taylor knows that Karlie's math brain needs a challenge worthy of her genius. Building a platform that can host the world's art while simultaneously blocking its most aggressive machine-learning algorithms becomes her magnum opus.
Inside the Kamakura office, that is. But in the comfort of their home, Rui wins.
This is a Kaylor story about never truly forgetting someone, even after years of separation. It's about communicating with muscle memory when words become too overwhelming, sensory details cemented in your heart, and the mundane moments that define the core of your bond with the only person who perfectly reads your soul.
It's about a rare love that accepts you back without ego, hesitation, or explanation.
(An Alternate Universe where CEO Karlie built a tech empire in Tokyo to survive a heartbreak, and Author Taylor arrives five years later with a multi-million-dollar contract to change their ending.)

To the night owls who stayed up until 2 AM reading these massive chapters years ago: thank you for trusting me with your time.
This is a Kaylor story, but more than that, it's about finding a safe place in someone to simply exist as you are. To believe that even in your darkest moments, there is a sliver of hope hidden behind someone's smile. And to realize that true healing can come from the silent, unconditional intimacy of mundane moments.
I hope you find exactly what you need in these pages.
