COMPLETE!! (This story contains love between two men. Yaoi, BL, M/M.) ... more>>

In the modern world, where vampires roam secretly under the radar of human eyes, we meet a half-vampire struggling with a condition called Denial.
It is said that a half-blood with this disease has not tasted the blood of their immortal creator. It is a condition of depression, anxiety, and helplessness. One that eventually leads to death.
Mikael Krauss has struggled with his denial for decades before meeting an elder vampyre that promises to help him with his affliction by forming a blood bond. Little does he know, the vampyre Lucious holds the secret to releasing him of denial once and for all.
During this first series, we follow Mikael on his quest to understand denial and the vampire world with Lucious's guidance. A world of truth, lies, and the realization of love even among the most carnal beasts.

Alexander Gunn is not a man you want to cross, unless you just happen to want free drinks at virtually any bar in the known galaxy. He gambles, he drinks, and he spirits the night away; above all he avoids trouble. It’s not his fault that trouble always seems to find him, or chase him depending on who you ask. After three years of swindling his way from system to system Alex made the decision to finally try to settle down. One beautiful woman comes to mind, someone he foolishly walked away from years ago before his days as a smuggler. ... more>>

Trying to rediscover his lost love, Alexander Gunn travels to the world of Holliday only to find the world is under siege. To escape he must join forces with a young voluptuous pilot, and a fierce freedom fighter before the city falls.

WELCOME TO THE RETROFUTURE!... more>>

The Future That Never Was features an alternate space age where the Soviets colonized the belt before David Bowie sang Life on Mars; where rogue AIs took over the web; where pizza came in cans. Humankind couldn’t dream of a more exciting future. Yet, as foolishness eventually turned Earth into a nuclear wasteland, shadows began to conspire from the heart of the Moon to beyond the mysterious Planet Nine…

The book series is an extended universe which includes numerous R-rated titles. All of them will be uploaded on Scribblehun and Royal Road. Check the Index below for the main stories.

🪐  PACHINKO BLUES
Amid the chaos of the Rings Civil War, a disgraced pilot called Miles finds itself tangled in a vast vendetta involving a megacorporation, android mercenaries and data-cartels.

One terran totally fails to have any meaningful impact on an intergalactic civilization... more>>

Inspired by the Human Domestication Guide setting but utterly missing the point, choosing to focus on a misinterpretation of the affini's philosophy and how, to at least one silly little human, it bears a striking similarity to benevolent nihilism.

The penal labor colony called Solstice lies nearly 500 light years from Earth. For decades, the planet was used by the fascist Terran Accord as a dumping ground for prisoners, political and otherwise — that is, until the prisoners organized and won a hard-fought revolution against their corporate overlords and took the planet for themselves. The Accord, on the back foot in their war against the Affini, struck back from orbit, and fired a single shot that almost rendered the planet uninhabitable. For an aging revolutionary at the heart of it all, the arrival of the Affini means salvation for her people, but it also marks the beginning of a new fight for liberation. ... more>> style="line-height: 40px;"> This story is set in the Human Domestication Guide collaborative universe.
