I'm Alicia White, writing as Litchi White — a South African author of slow-burn romance and quiet fantasy, based in Pretoria.

My stories sit in the space where ordinary lives brush against something older: a vineyard that keeps its memories, a clockmaker's daughter in a city between seconds, a lantern harbour where wishes are paid for. The magic is soft; the feelings are not. I write for readers who like their love stories patient and their worlds a little haunted.

Five long-form stories are published here — The Embers We Choose, The Vineyard That Remembered Her, The Clockmaker's Daughter and the City Between Seconds, The Last Ember of Vaeloria and The Lantern of Wishing Harbor — with more on the way.

I'm available for fiction ghostwriting, commissioned short stories and serialised romance/fantasy. Subscribe for new releases, or message me through the site to talk about a project.
