It’s here! Lulu and Alvin’s sci-fi role reversal romcom begins today. Ready to get cozy and get reading? Check out where to buy the book or how to read it for free!

Buy Volume 1

Sanctuary 17223: Volume 1 is available digitally on itch.io as well as in bookstores including Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books - here’s one convenient link for all of them.

Is it available in libraries?

The answer is… maybe! The ebook has been submitted to library apps such as OverDrive/Libby and BorrowBox with the ISBN 9798232097752. If you have a membership, see if you can borrow or request it!

Please note that a print version is not available - yet. It’s on my to-do list. :)

How can I support the series?

The absolute best thing you could do is read the book and leave a rating and review where you can! (And, hey, let me know you liked it?)

Independent creators also rely on word-of-mouth - please recommend it to people you know, or if you see someone asking for books like this one (e.g. RR/GFD romance, original English light novels, etc.)!

What was that about a free version?

Starting January 2026, the story will be published in bite-sized updates on both the Sanctuary 17223 website and web novel platforms - for free! Although the book wasn’t designed around episodic updates, I wanted to offer this option for people who enjoy reading this way or who can’t afford it. (In this economy? Honestly, same.)

I hope you enjoy the book; writing it brought me immense joy. Happy holidays if you celebrate, and have a relaxing end of the year!
