Hi, I'm Ivy 🌙

I'm so glad you found your way here.

I've spent the last while building a world I can't stop thinking about — a city called Harwick, where glass towers hide something older than any of the people who work in them.

Where a woman who's spent years learning how to survive quietly is about to find out that control was never really the point.



City of Wolves and Glass is my debut series, and it's the kind of story I've always wanted to write: slow burn, a bond neither character chose, and the kind of tension that builds for chapters before it lets you breathe.



If you love:

🌙 fated mates

🐺 alpha & luna dynamics

🏙️ a city that feels alive

🔥 slow burn that actually earns its payoff

🤫 secrets that don't stay buried

... I think you're going to feel right at home here.



New chapters coming soon — follow along so you don't miss the moment everything in Harwick starts to unravel.



Thank you for being here. It means more than you know.

So, just wanted to let you know...

I am DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to finishing the second book in the series, and I am so attached to the characters, I am having a hard time closing it 😭

I'll tell you that it's already 250 pages long.

I am not a big fan of suspense, so I'll let you in on a secret who it's about!


Here's a snippet:

"Seventeen years old, and the day started the way every day started at Thorne Hollow: before the sun, in silence and rows.

Mateo stood in his place, third row, sixth from the left, exactly where he'd stood since he was old enough to hold a line, and waited for the Alpha's Second to walk the ranks. The training yard was hard-packed and cold enough this early that his breath was visible, and nobody moved until they were told to. That was the first thing you learned at Draven, before fighting, before hunting, before anything else: wait for an order. Then do.

"Formation," the Second called, and forty bodies shifted as one, clean and practiced, the kind of unison that took years to make look effortless.

Mateo had made it look effortless a long time ago. He'd had to. Being unremarkable here was a special kind of armor. Draven pack noticed the ones who stood out and didn’t approve."


So tell me, are you excited? 🤩

So, I told you about Mila and the process that went into creating this powerful and strong female lead.
But I also needed to create a man who would deserve her and who would meet her the way she is, not trying to change her, own her or dominate her.

She doesn't need saving, and he is not intimidated by that but dazzled and impressed.

He's strong, mature, stable and well... incredibly beautiful 😎

Let me know what you think about Liam!

Heyy

Hey everyone!

I thought you might be interested in seeing the backstory of character development.

Before I even know what I wanted to write about, I had a lead female character in my mind. A strong, capable woman, not someone who would submit, or who would need a savior. The strong opposite of princesses we are all used to.

I felt like we need a regular woman in mature age that can still bloom and show that life is beautiful and full of hope.

I am sharing a screengrab from one of my initial solo-workshopping sessions.

Let me know what you think!

And also, what you think about the book.

P.S. While you're reading, I am working on a spin-off. Who do you think the spin-off is about? 😎
