[I died and was accidentally reborn as an angelic monstrosity, so now I’m building a holy dungeon-tower that is tall enough to reach the gods; so that I can complain about it! But the humans think that I am trying to destroy the world.]
____________________________
The senselessness of so much of the world’s death and suffering is made apparent to the dying paladin, Isaiah, in his final moments before he perishes and is, shortly thereafter, reborn into a comparatively quiet and peaceful existence as a simple blackbird.... more>>

However, the powerful magic of the god whom Isaiah himself had served in his prior human life upends this latest existence, as a spell goes awry, turning the entity instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal.

Isaiah, desperate to return to its simple life as a blackbird, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen by the eyes of the world in order to reach the reclusive gods who reside in the heavens above and make them undo the transformation in a bid to allow itself an escape from the complex suffering of intelligent, self-aware mortality.

Monster eater.... more>>

Monster is a strange word. Sometimes it evokes images of a colorful plush puppet teaching children about nutrition. Sometimes it evokes memories of the cruelest person to have ever lived. It's hard to use it without it sounding like a cartoony hyperbole. But we also use it so casually when speaking of criminals and politicians.

Synthia uses it to describe herself.

When Synthia tells you about the kind of day she's had as a grocery clerk, she is definitely trying to provoke a reaction out of you. And that's OK. She's very good at what she does, and you won't notice.

Most of the regulars love her, and you will too.

It is perhaps the fact that she takes advantage of you that she calls herself a monster.

It's when someone who calls herself Felicity starts flirting with her, however, that she must begin to question her use of the word, and what it really means.

Because Felicity is a teratovore. <<less

The only problem, beyond brutally dying, is that she didn't stay dead. Now, highly sensitive to the sun, partially blind and with a hunger for blood, Sofia must learn to navigate her new existence. But how can one truly learn to live when they’ve lost life itself? <<less

Meghan used to think she was a man. Sort of. She'd had her doubts, but she'd rolled with it as best she could. She would sit in the darker corner of her favorite coffee shop and watch the staff and regulars interact with each other, drinking her usual cup of drip. If anybody mentioned anything about dragons, she could join the conversation.... more>>

She lived upstairs in one of the low income apartments above the shop. Until just a few days ago, when she woke up in her true form.

Now, everyone can see clearly that she's a dragon. And strangely, they're all treating her better, more naturally. Like this is how it should have been all along.

But the transformation does bring its challenges.

And it isn't just her life that's going to change forever because of this.

The whole world must reckon with dracomorphosis, and what it means for survival of life on Earth.

* 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…”

He threatens Mattiew to fight on his behalf against the world’s most powerful sorcerers and nobles in the Bellirex, a tournament that acts as the world’s pathway to kingship. But as a man without a drop of sorcerous blood, Mattiew has to get old partners in crime on board with a near-blasphemous lie.

All before Mattiew gets turned to ash by the Sunkiller, a favorite to win the Bellirex, or Adriana's parents catch on to her conspiracy.
