Palantine and Co. is an unusual company that does its work in an unusual field. But it's attractive enough to out of work Gary Bellamy, and offers decent pay and a good benefits package. But there are a few things a little strange about the local office. The CEO is perpetually out of town, apparently in search of ‘Enlightenment’. His co-workers are involved in research and investigations involve the likes of Bigfoot, ghosts, walk-ins and other supernatural phenomena, for who its not quite clear. It all seems a bit dodgy to Gary but again, good benefits package.... more>>

Ephram Palantine is having problems of his own. His search for Enlightenment hasn’t been going all that well, has lead down some rather bizarre rabbit holes. It's about to get a lot worse.

The employees of Palantine and Co. are themselves hoping their new hire is exactly what they need. Otherworldly phenomena is on the rise. A seven year old girl has gone missing in northern Michigan, and they are sure it involves something that happened to Gary when he was a boy, thirty years ago, not to mention that there have been sightings of same identical dead man on a Lake Erie beach now for several decades. Some might call what Gary and his co-workers are about to get involved in to protect humanity from a world whose borders with other realities are fraying at the edges, incredible and perhaps even insane. Some might call it a mission. <<less

People say, if Charlie Pratt had a penny for every blunder, he'd fill his pockets and then misplace his trousers.... more>>

In October the Campton river clears, and the water level drops offering a perfect excuse to get out in the crisp morning air and scour the rocks for snagged hooks and toads. It's about as close as Charlie has come to magic... until he meets the strange Dalia Addair.
While trying to learn more about her, he unwittingly slots himself into her magical trial—a trial she's spent her whole life preparing for. He gets a day.
But something's wrong; the trial holds its own secrets, and powerful forces will do whatever it takes to stop them.
The only way to survive is to finish the trials and block the way forever.
But first, Charlie and Dalia have to learn to work together—if they don't strangle each other first.

Quirky, fast-paced, and brimming with humour and charm, Fableman is a story that shows how even the most unlikely hero will step forward to do what it takes—when there's a ten-foot troll on his ass. <<less

Death isn’t always the end, and sometimes we mistake it for a short nap at the end of a very long, and very stressful day.... more>>

A frontier village was unnecessarily put to the sword. A father stoked the fires of war to punish an errant daughter, and perhaps set her straight, but as often happens when fire is applied in a measure too much: it can get rather out of hand.

Nobody was supposed to die that day… but the village burned all the same, and the woman she loved was among the dead! Enraged, and seized with inspiration, she became something new, something stronger, and she will have her revenge! <<less

Welcome to Club Sanctuary, a club that's different from other clubs. There are gods and immortals, creatures from myths and legends. You won't be able to find this club on the map but when you do manage to step in, it's a world of magic...... more>>

George, an immortal who works in Club Sanctuary wants to make amends to Ciel for badly hurting him by accident. But Ciel is too afraid of the intimidating man and generally avoids him. As circumstance and the people around them start pushing these two together, George slowly breaks the walls around Ciel.

In October of 2017, a hunting trip to the Western Rockies of Montana turns into a living nightmare when a series of gruesome human mutilations occur all around the hunting reserve. Eric Lantstrom - a hunter from Grand Rapids, Michigan - helps the local Sheriff, Buck Williams, and Master Warden, Colton Locke, investigate these bizarre murders to find out who or what is behind them. While initial speculation was that it was the result of a Grizzly bear that had acquired the taste for human flesh, as his investigation continues on, Eric eventually comes to learn that these abnormal attacks aren't just the work of any predator, but the result of the carnivorous lunar activities of someone who is, but is not man; and that these attacks have gone on for over 400 years.

This is Book #1 of what is intended to become a trilogy series.

This is also based on the Halloween 2017-2020 events from Expansive Worlds and Avalanche Studios' game theHunter: Classic. <<less

It is often unclear when a thing comes to an end, the world itself no exception. In the event of the world ending, it was both abrupt and unnoticed, something down right confusing to most involved.... more>>

Due to this confusion, we will quickly cover the short window of events that led to the destruction of the generally known universe, following the primary instigators to hopefully give the whole thing a little much needed context.

I have posted this fiction on Royal Road as well, which is currently farther ahead. However, they should be parallel before long.

Royal Road: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/38761/falling

…

Author’s Note: Just to be clear ahead of time, I may go on hiatus between arcs, but it should be clear that an arc has ended.

Regardless, I currently plan to go on hiatus after the third arc, which is intended to be a natural breaking point (and may simply be the conclusion).

This is with the hope of not dropping off in the middle of the narrative, and I am mentioning it now so no one is surprised if there are planned pauses.

Content Warnings: I do not plan to include anything I would see as profanity or gore. However, I do expect my bar for what qualifies is both above some people’s and below others.

Therefore, I am including the Content Warnings so people are not surprised when my view is different.

If you find something you do not like, I wish you luck in moving on without it farther concerning you. If I was not as extreme as you were hoping, I apologize for not meeting expectations.

I am marking sexual content, since what is defined as sexual content is rather unclear and open to interpretation.

I will not be including explicit sex scenes, but sex and sexuality still exists and may come up as both an offscreen event or subject.

Cover Art: The art work is by me, and I will take it down immediately at request from the artist. <<less

Way was born, in the year 3025, in the city of Woodwall. A city far tamer than it's name suggested, that claimed to have everything anyone could ask for. For some it did. Way's family was happy, and her neighbors, and friends, but Way was not. Her life was colored the dull, unblemished grey of the high-tech city she grew up in. So Way turned towards the woods for which her home was named, packed her things, and left.
Way didn't know it, but this would be the start of an adventure far greater than she'd planned for.... more>>

For Eliza Deacon, PI work has always paid the bills, but the more recent addition of her "night job" at the ORO provides a newfound sense of job satisfaction.

Ever since Aster’s mother died, home no longer feels like home. Now, she’s little more than a prisoner behind gilded bars; her father growing more distant by the day, her best friend missing and possibly left for dead.... more>>

So when a letter from the royal family arrives, inviting her to stay in the palace, Aster agrees.

She’s only been to the palace once, a memory she’s replayed countless times in her head, during her first fateful encounter with her fiancé. But when she comes face to face with Florian once more, he’s cold and apathetic; a far cry from the boy she used to dream of.

As Aster struggles to come to terms with Florian’s new demeanour, life in the palace reveals more than it’s rose covered façade. The maze within its gardens hides thorns that cut deep, and the spirits who call it home want nothing more than to see her go.

With all the odds against her, winning over her begrudging fiancé and the rest of the peanut gallery seems next to impossible. But with the help of her unflappable maid Fina, a brutally blunt swindler, and the apprentice of the palace’s magical deviant, maybe Aster might just have a shot at her happily ever after.

Just remember, good boys and girls, if an obnoxious animal comes and tells you that you are meant for greater things in life, it is most probably lying out of its teeth. Don’t get scammed, don’t let it drag you around all willy-nilly, and most importantly don’t follow it into funny places, even the ones that might open up a portal to sparkling fairytale worlds.... more>>

In other words, don’t be like Willow Whitman. <<less
