Ann Scarlett (who also goes by Ann Whiskers online) has been building worlds and stories all her life. She told herself stories with toys and imagined scenes in her head every night or while listening to music like a movie. In 2016, she started to teach herself to draw to give those stories and characters a place to exist. It didn’t take long for her to start writing as well. Now, she writes queer fantasy novels full of complex characters and found family.She likes cats, they’re cuddly and silly and she’s had them all her life. She also hates talking about herself.

Thunderbolt
“You don’t think I’m a freak, because you’re the same.”All Eric ever wanted was to survive, and to be free. Which is a challenge when you’re a superhuman who refuses to enslave himself to the government. Or whatever shadowy thing is really pulling the strings.For years, Eric kept his world small: just Keith, his frustrating not-quite-boyfriend of a decade, and their friend Abi. Anyone new could be a risk. Together, the three of them became a team of masked thieves, using alter egos to take what the world never gave them a chance to get. It worked. It kept them safe. It was easy, really. Until Spark showed up; another super and a professional at getting in their way.When Eric starts complaining about rarely going outside, Keith pushes him to join a local writing group. Eric expects boredom, maybe awkward small talk. Not a powerful connection with someone new. Someone who might be a risk. Someone who might be worth it… and who Keith hadn’t counted on.A queer, polyamorous superhuman urban fantasy.
