* Tale of Tales is a High/Epic Fantasy saga based on the motifs of ancient myths, legends, and forgotten fairytales *... more>>

Senka is no hero, but you never know what is coming for you. And if that burns down your house and family, while you are left blinded by your house’s guardian snake, the outlook becomes grim. So Senka clings to her dog’s back to survive, unaware of the fateful prophecy and the great changes to come. But when a wandering warrior becomes her protector and mysterious strangers join their hounded party through a series of seemingly chance encounters, they all begin to discover that all is not as it seems.

What is pursuing her? And why? Can the strange characters gathering around her on her desperate quest save her from doom? Are they mere puppets of a young, beguiling witch guided by her own hidden motives, or are forgotten shadows rising again from the immeasurable depths of time? A tale of folk fairytales and myths, of swords and sorcery and mythical beings – a unique story of dark times and unsung heroes who may light your way.

Book one, A Strange Bunch, features leading characters of various ages. This is a fantasy with their progression happening slowly throughout the series, with occasional spikes in character power after certain encounters that may or may not be random. Although the book series is written with adult and young adult audiences in mind, it is, in the tradition of such epics as “The Lord of the Rings,” suitable for all ages. Excerpt from the scene depicted on the cover of the first book:

“Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…”

"His name was Daimon. I rather have him a pleasant-sounding name. But he was a demon, just like his name. Through and through. He enjoyed our suffering with a pitchfork and a black wavy tail on his sulfur-filled habitat." Simons gnashed his teeth.... more>>

"I looked at his side profile. Charming and serious. Girls always loved a handsome and cool feminine boy. But grownups always picked the serious type with a sense of humor. Just like Daimon. His eyes closed. The flutter of his eyelids seemed more elegant than a woman’s. His tasty lips. Well-fit body, as masculine as Adonis. I could look more and more, and I couldn’t get enough!" Karen thought while unconsciously licking her lips.

“MOTHER FUCKER!” Arnold seethed and wanted nothing but to mutilate this bastard! He could care less about the plan! Only by killing Daimon he could face Xiao in the afterlife!

“Jeez. You scared me!” Agathon said to the man who was carrying a coffin on his back yet he looked like he was in a park. Still, the weariness in his face stood out. "When I glimpsed your figure from the distance, I thought I was seeing God. But then, I saw your eyes. I also thought you are a Ghost. But with your vibrant complexion, I crossed it out.”

Join each protagonist in their quest while battling their inner demons and keeping their sanity. Warning: profanity and heavy modern philosophy.

This, however, is a story about love. Following the high functioning autist Alexander Williams point of view (first person) as he is whisked away by and married to a beautiful woman with a past connected to his own. Cecelia Meredith Ishikawa-Alden, head of the most powerful organization in the world. She is obsessed. His life hasn't always been great, but there were strings being pulled in the background by Cecelia, until now when she takes a more hands on approach.

Follow their story told from his perspective as they live their lives together, adjusting to the changes that come along with it.

Chapters will be released as I can/have time. I have written a lot of this story already, but may release slowly so I can write more, edit, etc. I thank you for your patience and understanding.

Cyber Heart is more about the romance between Alex and Cecelia, told from his perspective, along with others that come into his life. It has dark themes such as violence, gore, and rape (though rape is not explicitly shown, only talked about/aftermath). Consider this your Trigger Warning.

Overall, it's a more upbeat story despite that. I hope you enjoy, for that's why I write. For others to enjoy. My wording may be simple (I'm working on it), but my purpose is to get the story across. Once again, thank you for your understanding and thank you for reading! ^_^
