Welcome to my MultiVerse
Where dragons hide in plain sight,
Doubt has learned to use the feed,
and the girl who never wanted to be noticed
is about to become impossible to ignore.
I write contemporary YA fantasy about dragons, found family, neurodivergent experience, attention, truth, and the fight to stay yourself in a world designed to make you doubt who you are.
What I Write
Pru Hammond can see the dragon.
That would be less of a problem if she lived somewhere that considered dragons a reasonable thing to mention out loud.
But Malavox has spent centuries priming the human world to generate Doubt, turning reality into myth and uncertainty into power.
So when the MultiVerse writes off the Human world as too poisoned to save, Pru does what no one expects from the girl who wants to remain invisible.
She makes herself a problem.
The First Luminate
I’m currently working on The First Luminate, a YA contemporary fantasy about Pru Hammond: a neurodivergent fifteen-year-old with a talent for sarcasm, a habit of noticing what other people miss, and a best friend who disappears — leaving behind questions that lead Pru far beyond the world she thought she understood.
Pru discovers a world of dragons, portals, found family, interdimensional politics, and forces older than her own reality — including Faith and Doubt, which aren’t just feelings, but living forces that move through worlds — shaping what can be seen, what impulses grow stronger, and what kinds of behaviour become normal.

At the heart of the story is a girl slowly realising that the mind she was taught to distrust can recognise patterns others have learned to miss — and that saving the MultiVerse will take more than one kind of mind.
Luminate
Faith and Doubt are not just feelings.
They are forces — shaping what can be seen, what can be crossed, and what each world believes is possible.
The MultiVerse is larger than humans know how to believe.
Humans have spent centuries trying to prove what is real. But the doors between worlds do not open for proof alone. They open through Faithflow, the capacity to see Truth clearly. And Pru Hammond has more of it than anyone expects.

The strange magic of noticing
I’m Kym S. Eves, and I write YA contemporary fantasy about dragons, found family, truth, attention, and the strange magic of noticing what the world teaches us to overlook.
That question sits underneath most of what I write. The things we learn to overlook or doubt don’t vanish; they become dragons hiding in plain sight, systems that reward one kind of mind and call it intelligence, feeds that teach people to measure themselves in public, and the quiet, private ache of being told the way your mind works is a problem.
In The First Luminate, those pressures take fantasy shape. The private, social and digital ways we learn to doubt ourselves become part of a wider war in which Doubt is not just an emotion, but a force moving through worlds. And fighting Doubt isn’t about becoming fearless. It’s about learning to see clearly, to stay connected, and to choose what gets to shape you.
The same thread runs through Look Past the Feed, where I write short reflections on social media, attention, neurodivergent perception, YA fantasy, and how young people can keep hold of themselves in an algorithmic world.
Essays on attention, minds, and staying yourself
Short essays and notes on social media, attention, algorithms, neurodivergent minds, and how young people keep hold of themselves online. It started with one question I kept coming back to — how do young people keep hold of themselves in a world designed to make them doubt who they are?
The Feed
Comparison bait, outrage loops, infinite scroll — and the way a feed becomes a mirror that is really a machine.

The Shape of Understanding
TriFold Brain Thoughts 001 Some children understand long before they can prove it — this essay asks what happens when the way a mind shows its thinking is mistaken for the quality of the thinking itself.
