When a magical accident transforms Cameron, a free-thinking, sharp-tongued man, into a woman in the eyes of the patriarchal kingdom of Paddlewick, he doesn’t just lose his body. He loses his rights, his name, and his place in society.... more>>

Now legally classified as female and forcibly renamed “Candy,” she is given no choice but to marry her childhood friend, Marcus, under Paddlewick’s brutal marital code. Here, a wife is expected to obey without question, accept "correction" with gratitude, and submit, mind, body, and soul.

But Candy isn’t docile. Not by nature. Not by spirit.

As she battles corsets, condescension, and magically enforced obedience, Candy must navigate a world where every rebellion has consequences. Her every move is watched. Her every failure is reported. Worst of all, the law demands more than compliance; it demands acts of submission that go far beyond discipline.

Then there’s the ever present question, why? Why in a world dripping with magic, often comically so, hasn’t anyone figured out how to change her back?

Deeply satirical, emotionally raw, heartbreakingly intimate and underscored the entire way with delightful humor, "Cameron to Candy" is the story of one woman’s unwilling transformation, and the quiet war she wages beneath Paddlewick’s polished rules and polished shoes.

John Hall did everything right. He put in the work and the hours, got his degree, and after a lengthy job search, he was settling in at his dream job in the field of Process Engineering! It's a shame that not even a week after John started, he woke up in the forest in a strange fantasy world steeped in Japanese mythology. Driven away by fireball-throwing locals who didn't take kindly to his presence, he retreated to the monster-infested woods, took up residence in an abandoned fort and rebuilt it... in between working on matters of the arcane from scattered tomes he taught himself to read.

It has been five long years of survival, and the now artificer is slowly creating a more comfortable life even as the isolation wears away at his psyche, but this can't last forever. Danger and opportunity arrive on his doorstep in the form of an injured kitsune, and in aiding her, he is dragged into a world in conflict, where he'll have to harness his unique knowledge and perspective to survive…

Samuel used to think life was boring—so boring that it wasn't even worth trying to change it.... more>>

Everything changed when he was kidnapped by a mysterious cult and offered as a sacrifice to a demon. He thought that was the end of his story.

Somehow, it wasn't.

He survived, but in another world and another body.

Upon a bloodstained stone altar, he awakened as Bonnie Jones, a defenseless young woman in a grim steampunk world of cowboys, mysteries, and supernatural horrors that prey upon the weak.

What awaits Samuel, now trapped in Bonnie's body, in this dangerous land?

The law is fragile. The supernatural lurks around every corner. And the powers known as the Ballads of the Desert have become the most coveted treasures among the few who know of their existence.

This is her legend...

The Ballad of the Outlaw.

What can you expect from this novel?

Mystery and more mystery. Mystery is the central axis of the story — but what is mystery without a world and characters to complement it? Beyond that, the supernatural is one of the main pillars of the story.

Things like cowboys with strange powers, witches who can read the future, monstrous steam-powered machines in gigantic cities, folkloric mysteries tied to the natives, entities beyond human comprehension in pure Lovecraftian fashion, powers obtained through rituals and black magic, living legends of immeasurable power, and forgotten ancient gods.

The cherry on top is the romance. While it won't dominate the story, there will be a little of it here. However, this is also a dark dramatic tale set in an alternate Old West — so anything can happen.

Will their love be the salvation or a spark that would ignite another war between their worlds?

Even in a land so damned and unreal there is wealth to be extracted and debts to be bloodied.... more>>

It is the 2040s. By way of "gates"/"portals"/"warp tunnels," as disparate as they are unique, certain people and groups from Earth have uncovered a land on a planet wrought by a cataclysm long forgotten by most, where they now inhabit among the evidence of the sins of their forefathers.

Some of the Earthlings have made their play to etch a petty kingdom, others liaison with the local powers before those back home find out about this cursed world's existence. Still others sell their services to whomever is desperate to hire filibusters with weapons that shoot straight. All seek a unique prize: the crystal ball residue of long dormant horrors, known as "Penkons."

Colonel Becker had been compelled to venture into this land years ago. Serendipitous circumstances unite him with his old firm, "Radical-X," and together they spearhead a war host in order to seek a way back home. Through an unforeseen outcome he becomes master to the cursed slave girl "Nori," linked to Becker's soul in life and in death. The warlord Sarjenko, the "Wilo Jawi," leads the ragtag host against his brother and other upstarts not just to reunite the "Kaihiwilo" archipelago but also to fulfill an imposed quest by powers as incomprehensible as they are horrifying.

Asamimi is hungry. Anemimi is worried. This is the natural order of things.... more>>

When their parents are forced to send them away through an unstable dimensional gate to escape a looming, ancient darkness, the two fluffiest siblings in the multiverse find themselves on a mission they never signed up for. Their goal? Explore new worlds, discover new flavors, and bring back recipes for Mama. Preferably without accidentally unraveling the fabric of space-time. Preferably with snacks.

Asamimi, the pink little belly-brother, thinks with his stomach. His gastronomic enthusiasm is boundless, and his ability to empty a buffet table is the stuff of legend. Anemimi, his lavender-furred big sister, is the brains of the operation—a Sorceress-in-training who must use her wits (and occasionally some forbidden Mimi-magic) to bail her brother out of trouble. Trouble that usually starts with the words "just one more bite."

But the siblings are not the only ones leaving their mark on history. Whether they're navigating the strict etiquette of Avonlea under Hetty King's watchful eye, accidentally stalling a Balrog with a heated debate over Rohirric stew, or serving as Hugo Lombardi's most unconventional fashion muses, the Mimis leave more than crumbs behind. They don't change the realms they visit—they become an inseparable, forgotten part of them.

And someone out there is collecting those forgotten pieces. Deep within an unknown dimension, a silent observer sits on a cold throne, piecing together a map made of grease stains and scattered crumbs. This shadowy figure dispatches a seemingly endless payroll of doomed agents to hunt the siblings down, each one failing in increasingly absurd ways. Why Asamimi and Anemimi are being pursued remains a mystery, but one thing is certain: for those who disappoint the master in the shadows, there are no second chances.

Fortunately, the multiverse isn't all doom and gloom. From accidentally wasting Namekian dragon wishes to causing culinary incidents in 19th-century Monte Carlo, Asamimi and Anemimi leave a trail of chaos, confused historical figures, and empty snack bowls wherever they go. The gate opener is never properly cleaned, the coordinates are never quite right, and Asamimi's first priority is always, always the snack table.

One thing is certain: the adventure continues wherever the smell of pizza begins.

Nomad. Explorer. Too curious. ... more>>

Tenaro walks a world that wants to kill him.

He isn't a flawless hero chasing a grand destiny, and he doesn't have a magical game screen or cheap system handouts to save him.

Nomad by habit and survivor by necessity, he moves through storm-strangled jungles and dead cities swallowed by vines.

As ancient ruins stir, and forgotten names resurface, Tenaro is forced out of solitude and into an unwanted alliance. 

The deeper he ventures through ruins that feel alive and relic-filled chambers, the more it becomes clear:

The world is not empty.

It is watching.

And it remembers...

What to expect:

Slowburn Storytelling: A focus on character depth and steady progression.

Mysterious Worldbuilding: Explore ruins that feel alive, and ancient relics that hold dangerous secrets.

Tactical Action: Brutal and Tactical combat that focuses on environmental awareness, physicality, and exhaustion.

Atmospheric Writing: Expect to feel the world's harsh weathers and Tenaro's hunger. <<less

In the Mireth universe, countless worlds are bound together by mirrors. They remember every crossing. They certainly remember Dorian Corvell.... more>>

When Mirrorwalker Dorian accepted a contract from the Great Council, he expected compensation, not complications. Commune with a sacred creature. Follow procedure. Leave. It should have been simple.

It was not.

Sent to the Lands of the Loteri, Dorian learned that ritual mattered more than authority. Rules existed. Explanations did not. He found himself with the best guide available. The dislike was immediate and one-sided.

Elsewhere in the universe, the mirrors began to stir. Old crossings returned. Other Mirrorwalkers quietly vanished.

Duty turned personal. Desire interfered. The past refused to stay silent.

The mirrors were already watching.

A disgraced missionary. A mutated monster hunter. A dying empire consumed by rot.... more>>

In 19th-century China, two forces are devouring the land: the fatal, unimaginable "Salt Rot," and the warships of Western powers.

David is a disgraced British missionary exiled to the Far East, carrying a past he can't outrun. He meets the one man he was never supposed to want.

Xiao Yan is a ruthless monster hunter of the Empire, his body long mutated by years of slaughter, his heart long closed to anyone.

As the two navigate the eerie water towns, David and Xiao Yan must survive the abominations, imperial politics, and a desire they were taught to be ashamed of. <<less

Since then, she’s done her best to understand what caused the ruin of her home, and is determined to find whoever-or WHATEVER was responsible.
Unfortunately for her, this decision has set her on a path of political intrigue, frustrated deities, long journeys… and lots, and lots, and LOTS of dead things. With only her Mother’s Liuqin, a Sword, and a family goddess no one else seems to have ever heard of, she has much to do- not that anyone will make it easy for her. <<less

Humanity survived the end of the world, but the price was surrendering the top of the food chain. Now, mankind exists in a fragile, predatory truce with Mythos and Supernatural beings alike. Behind the towering walls of Bastions around the world our journey begins in the foggy valley hosting Eerie's Respite, where the line between monster and human, protector and prey, is written in blood and contracts. Most of these monsters need humanity to survive, but that doesn't make the dark any less dangerous.... more>>

Daegon knows those rules better than anyone else. As a survivor, as a scavenger, and as one who carries more ghosts in his past than friends in his life... well, at least the enigmatic presence in his head has a sense of humor. Their 'power' and their 'safety' come with a hefty toll when enacted. Yet, Daegon doesn't want power, he doesn't want to be a hero. He just wants to be left alone.

But the world does not work that way anymore, and refuses to ignore him. From politics to predatory affections, the beings in his life will follow him no matter how far he runs. As the days pass, Daegon's survival feels more closely tied to the lethal web of connections he's found himself stuck in, rather than any combat ability he holds onto. Slowly, willingly or not, those walls of isolation are being torn down by the beings around him.

This is a slow-burn, psychological exploration of life at the bottom of a cosmic food chain. The story reminds us of the terrifying vulnerability of trust, where choices are brandished as weapons, and love might leave scars we want to carry.

A 4,100-Year-Old Multiversal Saga.... more>>

"THE PATTERN IS UGLY. THE VOICE IS LOUD. THE LIMP IS REAL."

In a multiverse of systems, blue screens, and level-grinding heroes, Miguel Azral has none of that. He has a condition, a savant’s curse, and a power—the Usog—that doesn't level him up. It breaks him.

Welcome to the Bleeding Ego universe, a sprawling, interconnected epic that spans six seasons, spin-off anthologies, and graphic novel volumes. From the neon-choked shadows of Burnham City to the cosmic battlefields of the Casinite Empire, this is the story of those the Multiverse tried to erase.

WHY READ THE ANTHOLOGY?

A Living World: Experience the complete timeline, from the humble, traumatizing beginnings of the Aswang Prince to the high-stakes, epic convergence of The Honorables of Humanity.

Neurodivergent Authenticity: A raw, unfiltered exploration of autism and hypergraphia. Here, disability is not a side-quest—it is the lens through which cosmic truths are revealed.

Divine Politics & Satire: Witness the rise and fall of Saint Kings, the machinations of the 22 Founding Families, and the chilling truth behind the "Frocola" propaganda machine.

Hard Progression (No Blue Screens): In this world, growth is measured in neurological evolution, moral weight, and the terrifying price of being "correct."

THE SAGA BEGINS HERE:

The Aswang Prince (Prequel/Origin): How a boy with a monstrous side and a heart of gold became a catalyst for cosmic war, all while believing in the best of people.

The Honorables of Humanity: Anthology Series: The political thriller. When the media is the fourth branch of government, heroism becomes a street-level and cosmic insurrection.

The Honorables of Humanity (The Main Event): The Reaper II, Gabrielle Azral, daughter of the Aswang King uncovers the lie from her father, Miguel's past. As her father’s history bleeds into her own reality, she must dismantle a Multiverse that demands her silence.

This is more than a story. It is a codex of trauma, power, and defiance.

Current Status: 100+ Pages Live | Ongoing Monthly Updates | Prose & Graphic Novel Integration.

Warning: High tonal whiplash. Contains urban fantasy, political satire, cosmic horror, and radical empathy. <<less
