The Coin of Love Series: Women are gifted the magic they need to find the love they deserve. Each story features sapphic happy-ever-afters in unforgettable settings.

The Coin of Love Series can be read in any order. The stories are connected by the presence of a magical coin that decides if the woman holding it deserves its powers. With subtle and not-so-subtle suggestions and guidance, Nomisma is the courage that some women need to see the obvious happiness that is right in front of them.

Some stories are set in the distant past, others could be happening right now. Living situations for women vary across time, and yet they can (and certainly did!) find love with each other. Sometimes through compromise and subterfuge. Sometimes able to be gloriously, unapologetically open about their love.

Every story is inspired by a subject or place I wanted to explore where I could highlight how sapphic women survive and thrive. Often they begin with the question, “How would it feel to be…”.
