Hi, I'm Tzeyi

A queer, chronically ill, and neurodivergent lawyer turned author who believes books are the closest thing we have to living a thousand lives in the span of one.

My debut novel, A Curse Carved in Ink, is a bisexual love-triangle romantasy inspired by Chinese vampire lore, in which a young woman inherits a deadly curse that compels her to kill her best friend. To save her soul, she must descend through five trials in hell—caught between a flirtatious goddess of death and a brooding judge of the underworld.

A Curse Carved in Ink releases worldwide in early 2027 with Simon & Schuster.

Quotes from A Curse Carved in Ink

"Stories pinned chaos into a beginning, a middle, and an end. Reality was messy, but narratives offered symmetry: patterns to follow, clues to decipher, echoes that led to a source. Read long enough, and words could make sense of it all."

Quotes from A Curse Carved in Ink

"We weren’t lost because we were lost together, and I’d rather be lost with her than found by anyone else."

Quotes from A Curse Carved in Ink

"If I touched him—if I kissed him—would he dissolve like cotton candy, leaving only a lingering sweetness on my tongue? If I slapped him, would he burst into a swarm of butterflies, fluttering away to prove he was nothing more than a dream?"

Quotes from A Curse Carved in Ink

"I wanted to fold myself into the creases of the universe and slip into the darkness where light dared not reach. Then I’d become a secret held only by the stars."

Quotes from A Curse Carved in Ink

"Perhaps that was all any of us could hope—to be judged for the person we were when it counted, when we were no longer there to shape the story that followed."
