The unexpected magic of friendship
Ambitious, opinionated, and the child of wealthy parents, Agna Despana commits to a year of service as a magical healer in a traveling caravan. Having spent half her life training as a healer, she’s out to prove herself and do good for the world.
After losing everything, former army medic Keifon throws himself on the gods’ mercy. Maybe helping people as a medic in a merchant caravan will give him direction, and a start toward rebuilding his life yet again.
Assigned as partners, these two strangers have two years on the road to find common purpose and bring healing to remote corners of an unfamiliar land — and to themselves.
The Healers’ Road is a low-stakes queernorm fantasy road trip featuring campfires and hot tea, good books, shared adventures, and a journey to discover the power of connection.

How I Became a Therapist in Another World , novella 1 of 7
by C.A. Moss [also me]
Genre/keywords: fantasy isekai but make it tired, millennial, and gay; let’s throw all the tropes in a blender with a giant pile of feelings and see what we get; fish out of water; empathy as a superpower; humor and heart
Not the Chosen One, just doing my best
After an unexpected accident, Cat wakes up in a new body in a world full of magic. If this is the afterlife, it’s a lot more cottagecore than she expected — even though it’s also haunted by demons that prey on people’s emotions.
Good thing this world summoned the right vintage-loving queer girl, because Cat — now Lavender — was a therapist on Earth. Wielding magic that gives others space to face their literal demons, she sets out to make a new life for herself.
A world of new friends, territorial Earthlings, rampaging dragons, high society balls, and rollicking nights at the tavern is just down the country road. But so is the reckoning of what she’s lost…
How I Became a Therapist in Another World is a light fantasy heartwarming isekai novella with emotional moments and a wlw human/orc romance side plot. Lavender’s story continues in parts 2-4.
On Amazon – ebook and Kindle Unlimited where available
Books 1-4 are also available as an omnibus in ebook.
