What’s up?

I’m Acey.

Thanks for being here!

I’m a fiction writer from the Chicago area who moved to Nashville on a whim after a quarter-life crisis. Professionally, I’m a Consultant at LinkedIn, but I’m also a mediocre kickboxer, leather jacket enthusiast, and tattoo addict.

My stories are centered around parts of my identity such as being an Asian American, a chaotic bisexual, and a woman trying to find her voice. Maeve Castillo Won’t Tell is my first novel, and I’m currently working on my second, The Undoing of Ruby Reyes.

Current Projects

  • Reckless actress Maeve Castillo reunites with her on-screen lover, Gemma Giselle, staging public appearances to distract from a tabloid threatening to expose scandals about their canceled TV show—all while keeping secrets stemming from their co-star's death.

    Currently seeking representation.

  • Vivian, nearing thirty and struggling with self-loathing, goes on a cross-country road trip with a complicated former acquaintance to find her genetically-modified best friend before the government does.

    In progress.

  • Jade, a rough-around-the-edges singer-songwriter, helps her dying wife finish the rest of her unpublished novels.

    In progress.
