Austen (Vex) Kurono

Hello! I'm a nineteen year old living on the east coast of the U.S. I'm passionate about my writing and love to share my passion with others. Check out some of my stuff on Wattpad or Ao3!

Writing Commissions!

What's that?
Well, I see all these people creating beautiful works of art for customers for small amounts of cash. So, I figured I'd give it a shot to share my writing! I don't do a ton of commissioning, but if you give me some fun idea to toy around with, I'll consider giving it a shot! You can also check out my portfolio below to see what kinds of things I write

My Writing Journey...

It started with a picture book...
In second grade, I created a picture book about a bunny who was kidnapped, and her foster mother, a fox, had to go and save her. Super dark for an eight year old, but that's how I've always been! From there, I wrote more dark and twisted stories, seeing how horrible of a situation I can create. In sophomore year of high school, I finished my first novel: Alkali Blood. This really set the tone for my stories afterwards, as I always compare my plots to it, thinking "how can I make this more like Alkali Blood" or "how can I make this better than Alkali Blood." Currently, that is still my only finished novel, but I have many in the works as well. Check em out below!

What do I write?

A bit of everything!
I enjoy trying out a little bit of everything in my writing. My favorite thing to write is gore, but I understand that's not many people's forte. Here's a list of all the things I've dabbled in with writing!

Alkali Blood

But the more they learn about one another, the less they desire to help each other.Aurora and Ryan: two girls who ran together from two different pasts. They worked their way up from rock bottom to obtain their freedom in the blood-filled back alleys of a post-war world. However, their freedom doesn't last nearly as long as they were hoping. The two are thrown into a terrifying journey that one had worked so hard to avoid. The other; however, got too curious one too many times. Despite finding reasons upon reasons to turn on one another, the two have to work out their differences and team up in order to ensure both of their survival. Unfortunately, this task is not as easy as they had hoped.They ran from vastly different pasts without realization of how opposite they were. Eventually, their differences caught up to them, nine years later.
