ABOUT US
Tides Collide Publishing is a Texas-based independent publishing house dedicated to bold storytelling that straddles boundaries—between genres, identities, and worlds.
We specialize in contemporary fantasy and paranormal romance, publishing emotionally rich, immersive stories that embrace the strange, the supernatural, and the deeply human.
At our core, we believe powerful stories don’t just entertain—they connect. That’s why we champion work that reflects the in-between: of cultures, perspectives, and inner worlds. Our titles are often crowdfunded, supported directly by the readers who believe in them—an approach that allows us to remain fiercely independent and deeply reader-connected.
Founded by a multiethnic creator who understands the power of stories that don’t fit neatly into boxes, Tides Collide isn’t just a name—it’s a philosophy. A space where tides shift, voices rise, and genre conventions crash into new possibilities.
When tides collide, new worlds emerge.

But when hunters close in, Sadie must decide whether to let herself lose control to protect those she was never meant to love.
