Introducing Indusa, the deuteragonist of my upcoming series Pickpocket. It’s hard to catch a vibe on Nexia public transit.

Pickpocket is a dystopian coming-of-age epic grounded in speculative fiction, social critique, and emotional truth. It is a story about two girls fleeing a broken world and stumbling into the possibility of a new one while learning in the process that liberation is not granted, it is built. Through its examination of identity, power, and resistance, the series offers a radical reimagining of how we might escape the systems that consume us.
