My Exclusive Author For Today Is

Coda Languez

Coda Languez is a Software Engineer by the merciless light of day and an Artist/Author by the mischievous glow of moonlight. She harbors a passion for all things anime, horror, and comic-related, crowning her as a certified geek overlord in every realm imaginable. Drawing inspiration from the twisted visions of Satoshi Kon, Kouta Hirano, Francesca Lia Block, and Clive Barker, Coda concocts a literary potion of black comedy, horror, magic realism, and dark romance, ensuring that her readers' relationship with her morally ambiguous, sometimes outright nefarious protagonists remains deliciously 'it's complicated.'

When not conjuring code in her daytime techno-lair or weaving tales of psychologically unnerving romances and darkly humorous action after dusk, Coda can be found devouring anime epics, fantasy odysseys, and sci-fi adventures, or shamelessly surrendering to the siren call of competition reality TV (her secret indulgence). At the heart of her quirky universe, she is the proud matriarch to an endearing little human, two Pembroke Welsh Corgi jesters, one sassy shepherd-lab sovereign, and the partner-in-crime to a husband who navigates her whimsical chaos with a saint's patience.

But when she met Tristan - a man with ocean blue eyes and an angelic smile - it was love at first sight. It didn't matter that he owned nothing to his name and lived in the worst part of her city. Anything he could desire, she could give him.

There was just a tiny problem. 

Tristan was a vigilante. A partner of the hero whose mission was to take down Ira's empire.

Will their relationship, built on pretty promises and beautiful lies, unravel under his secret, or does that really matter?

Either way, Ira had her eyes set on her prize and she always gets what she wants.
