Welcome!
Hello there! I’m Calanthe, a writer of scifi romance and fantasy romance from Aotearoa / New Zealand. I write green flag romances that balance exciting adventures with the quieter moments in life. My main characters are usually neurodivergent cinnamon rolls, golden retrievers, or black cats with hearts of gold.
I don’t use GenAI to write my stories; rather, I use the ‘arse in chair, fingers on keyboard’ approach.
Here on this Patreon, I’ll be serialising some of my stories before they appear on other platforms as ebooks and paperbacks. You can join my Early Bird tier to read along, week by week. Chapters will be posted approximately once a week, with occasional breaks between projects. You can also join my Bookwyrm tier to receive two book boxes per year.
Not sure if you want to pay for a membership? That’s fair. Please stick around with a free membership. I’ll release some teasers and behind the scenes content to free subscribers. Also, after a while, I’ll make the first few chapters of each project free access so you can see if my fiction is a good fit for your tastes.
If you want to read my existing stories, you can check out either Goddess Found or my Planet Android trilogy.
Soon I will begin serialising a novella called Marauders of the Lost Dragon City, which originally appeared in the Enchanted Devotion charity anthology at A Romantic Adventure, Christchurch 2026. The novella will be available to paying patrons. Marauders is a fantasy romance adventure; think gender-flipped ‘The Mummy’ with dragons.
Thank you for your interest in my stories, and happy reading!
