All Oscar Bromley wants is a little peace and quiet. An alchemist with no friends, family, or aspirations, he has consigned himself to a life of misanthropy. Unfortunately, his vampiric half is acting up; haunted by hungers he cannot control, violent intrusive thoughts, and an alter ego that hunts at night, it seems there's no one to save him.... more>>

Or so he thought.

Alabastra Camin is a thieving urban folk hero and adventurer extraordinaire. She, and her partners in crime Faylie and Tegan, are Oscar's (begrudging) old acquaintances, shop regulars, and thorns in his side... Yet they may just be the key to solving his blood curse. They're intent on taking him on an adventure, where they'll lie, steal, cheat, uncover a dark plot of conquest, rediscover some buried personal truths, and maybe even fall a little bit in love.

Whether he likes it or not.

Witch Hunt is a web serial set in a gaslamp fantasy world, where swords and sorcery meet speakeasies and swank. Expect gratuitous violence, industrialization, explorations of personal autonomy, trans rights and trans wrongs, the rising tide of authoritarian control, strange magic, and magic strangers.

"Dreams destroyed my reality."... more>>

Dion Kruz had his life all planned out, a future mapped by the predictable rhythm of a 9 to 5 existence after college graduation. But fate had other plans for him, and on his eighteenth birthday, everything changed.

As Dion drifted into a peaceful slumber, he was transported to another world, where the boundaries between dreams and reality blurred and shattered like fragments of glass.

He later discovered the hard way that he has become a Realm Wanderer.

Realm Wanderers… beings who shuttle through the void when they sleep at night to other realms and can return. They could use powers of another realm.

But their existence was not without consequence; they disrupted the delicate balance of the realm system, and in every realm, so they were hunted.

They were hunted even on Earth, where the facade of regular humans masked a hidden world of supernatural beings on the prowl for the elusive Wanderers.

His previous dreams are shattered, replaced by a new reality. One that demanded he embrace his destiny as a Realm Wanderer.

—

We will be dealing with two worlds here: Earth and Aeon.

Aeon is a magical planet/realm that had its mana contaminated after the last war. A bloodline is needed to perform magic.

Earth looks normal but supernatural beings lurk in the dark. A storm is brewing.

At the tender age of 11, a young boy without a name committed many gruesome acts. Murder, theft, arson, and the list continued to grow. He was born into this world pure and innocent and corrupted by the very monsters who birthed him, thus they turned him into one as well.... more>>

His abilities were unnatural; he was a monster in human form, a superhuman. At 11 years old, he could flip a grown man with ease. The only thing that was normal about him was his enjoyment of stories. He enjoyed watching and reading whatever he could get his hands on.

He didn't understand emotions, but he always felt something when he finished the jobs assigned to him. When he snuffed the life of a woman and her children, or when he burned the cars of men and women while they were still inside, or even when his own mother strangled him to death with a wire; the young boy felt a sensation in his gut that would never fully surface—a feeling that he desired to understand.

Then, following the death at his own mother's hands, he woke up in another world. More specifically, he was in the body of a baby. As he struggled to see what was around him, he heard a voice that was impossible not to recognize—"I AM HERE!" He heard the voice proudly proclaim.

Given a second chance at life for a reason he did not understand, will this young boy—now turned young girl—finally be able to experience a life worth living? Or will the ghosts of his past come to haunt him?

After three decades, Simon's life isn't what he hoped it would be. Taking his destiny into his own hands he decides to find another world where he can be the hero he was always meant to be.

Death after Death is a dark, sardonic take on the Isekai genre with roguelike elements. It explores some of the common tropes in a different light. ... more>>

In a world where the lines between hunter and hunted blur, Callista navigates the treacherous waters of the Celestial Academy, where supernatural beings and secrets collide.

When they first meet right before an exam to graduate into high school, Violet doesn't quite know what to think of Abby, but once they are reunited at the same class, Abby dives right in and offers to be her friend.

This is actually a complete remake of my original book by the same name. I've made major changes to the entire story and every character. As I am still attending college, I have only so much time to work on this, but progress is certainly being made. I estimate the book will be anywhere from 80k to 120k words by the end. If you have any feedback you wish to give, or suggestions to make, please do not hesitate. I welcome all criticism, but I don't take everything too seriously so don't feel as though you may offend me by pointing something out. Growth is only achieved by improving where one is lacking, after all. <<less
