ABOUT ME

Hello!

I am Catlin Humes and I’ve been telling stories for as long as I can remember. Growing up in poverty with alcoholic parents, I found it easier to entertain myself and escape through my imagination. That coping mechanism didn’t end as I hit adulthood. I decided to start publishing last year and jumped on the Kindle Vella train as my writing style tends to skew to long series with short chapters (aka: serials). But, alas, Kindle Vella found itself on the Zon’s chopping block. So, I decided to kick corporations to the curb and go fully independent.

Crazy? Maybe.

But I want to entertain people…and I want those people to support ME and not another Billionaire. So. Let’s give this a go!

THE GODS AND GUARDIANS UNIVERSE

All of my stories are set in the same universe. They all have a theme of women finding and growing into their power and feature Green Flag MMCs who are fiercely loyal and happy to kill anyone who looks at their FMC sideways.

The Old Guard meets True Blood

Amnesia | Bonded Lovers | Immortality | Found Family

Yvette wakes entombed, with no memories — only a name and a hollow ache where her past should be. Taken in by a compassionate doctor and her daughters, she starts to build a new life, piecing together a sense of belonging she’s never felt before. But when a monstrous attacker nearly kills her, a dark-eyed stranger steps out of the shadows to save her.

Vas says he knows her. He says he’s been waiting for her to wake up — for forty years. He’s strong, dangerous, and achingly familiar. Her mind doesn’t remember him…but her body does.

As more monsters emerge, Yvette discovers her blood is the only thing that can kill them — and Lighthouse, a powerful organization fighting the creatures, wants her on their side. They promise her answers: who she was, why she slept for decades, and what makes her different. Desperate to uncover her past, Yvette agrees to help them hunt the monsters.

But the more she fights, the more flickers of memory surface — and they’re nothing like the woman she wants to be. She sees glimpses of a ruthless warrior, a relentless killer, and a part of her that craved the very blood she now spills.

Vas swears she’s not a monster.

Yvette’s starting to think he’s lying.

The truth is buried somewhere between the nightmares and the battlefield. But if she digs too deep, she might not like the woman she finds.

Because the monsters fear her for a reason.

And maybe they should.

Reverse Outlander

Portal Fantasy | Fish out of Water | Mental Health Struggles

She’s barely holding her life together — and now a man from her dreams is standing on her doorstep.

Erin Morgan is an overworked Chicago teacher, battling anxiety from a traumatic childhood and a toxic, controlling ex. On the verge of losing her job — the last thing keeping her life stable — she can’t afford another mistake. So when Lekan Kain, the warrior from her recurring dreams, shows up in the flesh, Erin is sure she’s losing her mind.

But Lekan isn’t a hallucination. He’s real, he’s from another world, and he swears Erin is a lost princess he’s vowed to protect. Despite every instinct telling her to push him away, Erin can’t help but trust him — maybe for the first time in years. And as her walls come down, she starts to believe that Lekan might be the miracle she never thought she deserved.

Just as hope blooms, her past and Lekan’s collide. Deadly enemies from his world track him to Chicago, and Erin’s abusive ex decides he’s not ready to let go of his obedient, broken girlfriend. Now, Erin must find the strength to fight — for her life, her freedom, and the warrior who might just love her enough to cross worlds.
