Azia is currently querying Small Birds.

In the space between worlds, love is both the anchor and the undoing.

Something in Tulip Rhea Finn’s world has shifted. The man she buried is alive, her marriage rewritten, and the life unfolding around her no longer matches what she remembers. As two versions of love begin to unravel in parallel, Tulip must decide which world—and which self—she is willing to claim.
A tender and haunting meditation on art, memory, and the infinite paths of the heart, Small Birds asks: what would you risk if love gave you another chance?

Stay tuned for more!

Azia is editing draft one of her second novel, Dream Date.

What began as a short 4,000-word story is now being expanded into a novel.

Dream Date is a dark, uncanny love story about loneliness, devotion, and the technology that feeds on both. When fantasy becomes flesh, Jacklyn learns that even affection has a power source, and someone always needs to keep it plugged in.

Published monthly, The Room is on Fire is a newsletter where Azia moves through the chaos of being a creative woman—navigating motherhood, current events, a TBR list rivaled only by her to-do list, mental health, married life, writing books, and sometimes just barely getting by.
