An alien abduction romance. Updates Fridays.
Grant has a tolerance for boredom. Late shift in a middle-of-nowhere facility? Sign him up. If the money's good, he'll happily take the peace and quiet of a long night watching an empty cell.
And then he meets Subject B-31. Blue, beautiful, and completely inhuman. Her captors call her Batty, thanks to her big ears and the way she hangs upside down by her tail.
He's told not to talk to her. He's told to think of her as a test subject, not a person. He's told to cash his checks and live his humble life. He's told to ignore the sorrow on her face and the desperation in... more>> her crimson eyes. Maybe he should have listened. When he finally busts her out, the rescue isn't a rescue at all: it's an abduction.

Batty is Princess Sykora, of the tyrannical Taiikari Empire. She commands the Black Pike, a massive voidship on the imperial frontier. Grant must learn a new life, in a firmament filled with ambitious nobles, deadly rivals, and the sinister smiles of the Taiikari Imperial Court. And he'll have to learn fast.

Because when the Princess of the Void looks at Grant, she doesn't just see a savior—she sees a husband.
And she isn't asking.

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.

(Intended audience 18+)

But the new Seraphina holds one advantage: a vast knowledge of the game’s world coupled with a ruthless ambition. With danger lurking at every corner and the shadow of treason threatening her life, she must maneuver through cutthroat politics and betrayals. If she succeeds in this realm, ultimate power will be hers—but if she fails, the price is death.

In the sun-scorched hills before Solymer, the holiest city in Kedraya, King Rydric Aldren’s crusading host is dying by inches. His soldiers starve beneath the walls they came to conquer, while inside the city Sultan Seylim ibn Tahir al-Din has food enough to mock them with gifts of bread, lamb, and wine.... more>>

Humiliated but not broken, Rydric accepts the insult for what it is: an invitation to peace. But peace demands more than promises. To bind their houses, Rydric offers his daughter, Princess Alianor, in betrothal to Seylim’s son, Prince Zeid.

Alianor is a knight, a zealot, and a daughter of the Revealed Light. She would rather die than be promised to an infidel. Yet Zeid is not the man she was told he was. He has spent his life hiding the body he was born with and the truth that could destroy not just him, but his whole dynasty. Alianor despises everything he represents—his faith, his people, his secret—but he may also be the only person who can spare her the fate she fears most. <<less

Hal was a MOBA player with more debt than talent.... more>>

He swore he'd rather be struck by lightning than lose to a team of girls.

Lightning delivered.

After an unpleasant chat with a cat god who enjoys his job way too much, Hal wakes up inside Broken Legends, the game he sank years into. Not as the hero he asked for — on a pile of corpses, in the body of a girl, and worst of all, in the body of a Healer.

A Healer whose healing magic doesn't work.

Hal is a Breaker: an anomaly the system rejects, sentenced to death by the Demon King for simply existing. He can't cast a single healing spell, even to save his own life.

But eight years of medical training don't vanish with a broken class. If magic won't heal people, it'll heal everything else — sterilizing gauze, forging tools this medieval world has never seen, saving lives with a scalpel and ingenuity instead of miracles.

With a wounded elf as his reluctant first ally, a system that insults him every time he breathes, and a bounty on his head that isn't even his, Hal chases the only thing that can give him his life back: the Cat's Eyes, relics that lead to the god who can grant him a wish.

He just has to cross war-torn kingdoms, outrun everyone hunting him, and not die trying.

Not again.

She built her empire on blood, fear, and silence.
Arora — the infamous queen of the Black Rose Gang — is a name whispered in the underworld, a shadow feared even by monsters. In two years, she turned a crumbling syndicate into an empire. She doesn’t lose. She doesn’t love.... more>>

Until him.

Jack — a man too soft for her world, too bright for her darkness.
He was supposed to be a pawn, a hostage she could forget the next day. But his smile, his innocence, his maddening warmth… they tore through her armor one heartbeat at a time.

Now she’s torn between the gun and the heart — between the empire she bled to build and the man who makes her want to burn it all down.

Because in her world, love isn’t a fairytale.
It’s a weapon.
And Arora is about to find out what happens when the most dangerous woman alive falls for the one man she was never meant to touch. <<less

Su Míngzhū found herself living inside a Xianxia cultivation novel she had read in her former life. ... more>>

She had been reincarnated as the future mother of the story’s main villainess and also the woman destined to die brutally at the hands of her own husband, the story's villain!!!.

Fortunately, she was transmigrated as a young child, giving her a twelve-year head start before she was ever supposed to give birth. To avoid her tragic death flags, she meticulously prepared to escape the novel’s plot and live a quiet life far away from the original characters.

For years, she traveled the continent, cultivating her power, refining legendary elixirs, and helping people along the way. She considered this her perfect "fantasy life," free from the shadow of the man who was meant to kill her.

Or so she thought.

Now, she finds herself trapped in the arms of that very same man. Instead of her executioner, he has become a man obsessed, doting on her relentlessly alongside their "villainess" daughter, who now does nothing but cling to her mother with a sweet, innocent smile. <<less

He's life. She's death. Their marriage is the apocalypse.... more>>

Kaiser Xavier, the Blood Phoenix, can heal cities with his bare hands and has spent his life doing exactly that: stitching a broken world back together while the war-hungry Blood Phoenix inside him waits for the moment he stops. When his clan demands he seal peace with a political marriage, he agrees. Duty before everything else. That's always been the deal.

Sapphire Secrofantazia, the Raven of Death, did not choose her crown. She suffered for it. She has spent every year since performing the role the Raven requires. Cold, precise, untouchable. Because the alternative is letting people see what it cost her. Being traded as a bride to the enemy is just the latest thing the world has taken from her without asking.

Their union is meant to end the Millennium Age War. It won't be that simple.

Because the war they were born into wasn't an accident. Someone built it. Built them. And the prophecy everyone is afraid of isn't about a wedding at all. It's about what happens when two Ascendants of opposing forces, life and death, creation and destruction, finally stop holding back.

The gods are taking sides. Dogmas enforced. Enemies are moving. And the conspiracy underneath it all goes back further than anyone alive has the courage to admit.

Some wars are started by hatred. This one was started by design.

The full Book 1 is done. (165k words) I'll be updating consistently. Meaning no hiatuses, no half-finished promises. Book 2 is already in very good progress.

She wished for only one thing—
to be written upon his heart.... more>>

A woman of royal descent,
and a man born to an ancient line—
A vow between two house้holds bound them.
Yet promise turned to chain; he held himself apart,
and she stood between Pride and Love—
for to remain was suffering, and to let go
was to shatter her own heart.
So she chose a mask—
easier to be scorned than truly seen.
Until another man stepped in…
and found himself captivated by her,
in every guise. <<less

Yuma Ikaragi spent most of his life feeling like he didn’t belong anywhere. Happiness was something he only heard about from others—never something he truly felt himself.... more>>

On his 16th birthday, his family moves to Japan, hoping for a fresh start.

But Japan hides a dark reality.

Spirit Monsters known as Poltergeist lurk in the shadows, and only a small group of hunters called Geists can fight them.

Waiting for Yuma is his uncle Alumna, who has prepared a strange “gift” for him.

That gift is Serena.

Serena is a determined high school student who dreams of becoming a Geist, just like her father. But her father refuses to let her follow that dangerous path.

Seeing her determination, Alumna proposes an unusual solution: If Serena marries Yuma, she will be allowed to become a Geist.

Now Yuma—who barely understands this hidden world—is suddenly forced into an arranged engagement with a stubborn girl who only sees him as a way to achieve her dream.

The boy who never knew happiness… and the girl chasing a dangerous dream… must decide whether to break their forced bond— or become partners who fight the darkness together as Geists.

And somewhere between battles, arguments, and secrets… Yuma might finally discover what happiness feels like. <<less

Family isn't always where you are born - sometimes, it's where someone refuses to let you feel alone.... more>>

Nathan Lang was two years old when the world ended.

It began again the day he was given a home - loud, chaotic, overwhelming... and full of a love he didn't know how to accept.

A sunshine boy who would become his promise.

A fire that would never leave his side.

A family that chose each other, again and again.

Family is not blood.

Love is not simple.

And forever is something you fight for.

Because some stories start with destiny...
And some start with a hand reaching out and saying,
"Then be someone with me."

When Forever Began is an emotional, chaotic, cinematic family saga
about love, loyalty, found family, and the secrets that bind them.

She walked down the aisle covered in the blood of her lover.... more>>

She stood in the pool of his blood and recited the same vows she had recited to another.

Chiara Barbieri's life is shattered the day her childhood love is killed, and she is forced into a marriage with the ruthless Massimo Guerra-brilliant, feared, and unstoppable.

Trapped between terror and fascination, she watches as he rises from mafia prodigy to a force that could change Italy itself. Amid betrayal, ambition, and whispers of power, Chiara must navigate a world where love can be deadly, and loyalty can cost everything.

A story of ambition, obsession, and the dangerous ties that bind.

"Let me say this once and for all, you could run a million miles and die a million deaths, but I will go through hell and beyond to bring you back to were you belong, with me. I will stand at the gates of hell, hands wide open and take you home. So if it takes butchering your family, threatening you, locking you up, tying you up or fucking you into submission, I would do it. You are not allowed to kill yourself because your mind, your soul and your body belongs to me and you do not kill what isn't yours to begin with",

My heart raced with each word that he uttered. Who was this man? Who was he to have the audacity to shake up my insides the way he does? How did he find me? Why did he find me and why does he want me?

"You are mine Chiara.", he declared <<less

Once the dust settled from the shattered sky, the monsters didn’t disappear… they moved into government.... more>>

Lord Sullivan Drakovich is one such monster. The vampire who inherited the crumbling Vampiric Court now rules with cold precision, iron restraint, and a hunger he cannot afford to feed.

To stabilize the fragile peace between vampires and mortals, Sullivan agrees to marry a foreign princess.

He expected a political pawn.

Instead, he gets Aleiya: mute, fey-touched, and far more dangerous than she looks.

She doesn’t speak.
But she sees everything.

As tensions rise within Elysium and ancient powers begin stirring beneath the city, Sullivan and Aleiya are forced into close quarters, fragile trust, and a dangerous intimacy neither of them understands.

In a world built on monsters, survival may depend on whether two broken people can learn to become something gentler than the horrors that made them. <<less

This is not a love story.
This is what happens when love rots into obsession… and revenge wears the face of devotion.... more>>

Xiao Wei lives for vengeance.
He has lost his sister and in his mind, only one person is responsible.

Wang Yi.

The boy who was once her closest friend.
The boy who once meant everything to both of them.

Blinded by grief and rage, Xiao Wei doesn’t just want Wang Yi dead—he wants him to suffer. To feel every ounce of despair his sister endured. But revenge isn’t simple when hatred is tangled with something far more dangerous.

Because Xiao Wei has loved Wang Yi for years.

And that love… is twisted.

He destroys him, yet cannot let him go.
He torments him, yet is the only one who soothes his pain.
He becomes both the poison that ruins Wang Yi… and the only antidote keeping him alive.

Caught in this nightmare, Wang Yi endures everything in silence—fear, confusion, and a love that refuses to die even as it consumes him. Until the truth finally surfaces.

And when it does—

It doesn’t save him.

It breaks him.

Because Wang Yi realizes… he was the reason his best friend died.

The guilt crushes what little remains of him, shattering his will to live. And for the first time, Xiao Wei is forced to face the reality of what he has done—not as an avenger, but as the one who destroyed the person he loved most.

Watching Wang Yi collapse, something inside Xiao Wei finally fractures beyond repair.

Regret comes too late.
Love comes too late.

And yet, he clings to it desperately.

“Just live, Yiyi… I’ll give you everything… even my life… as long as you live.”

In a story where love and cruelty become indistinguishable—
who will survive the ruin they created? <<less

Europe burns. Empires rise. Faith fractures. And one man walks willingly into the storm.... more>>

In the winter of 1594, a child is born beneath the shadow of a dynasty at war with itself. That child — Gustav II Adolphus of Sweden — will grow into the warrior‑king history remembers as the Lion of the North, the only ruler willing to stand against the imperial machine threatening to erase Protestant Europe from the map and with it all liberty. A story of Liberty vs. Tyranny. And explores the spiritual forces and ideas that drive history.

But Lion of the North is not merely the story of a king. It is the story of a calling.

From prophetic visions at his birth to the political betrayals that harden him, from a forbidden love that shapes his heart to the battlefields that will claim his blood, Gustav’s life unfolds at the intersection of history and myth, duty and desire, destiny and sacrifice. As the Thirty Years’ War engulfs the continent, Gustav must choose between the life he longs for and the world he alone can save.

Across courts, cathedrals, and killing fields — from Stockholm to Vienna to the hidden vaults beneath Rome — forces both mortal and supernatural gather. Emperor Ferdinand II sharpens his crusade. Wallenstein reaches for a relic that should never be touched. And the storm Gustav has foreseen since childhood finally breaks.
This is a tale of kings and lovers, soldiers and prophets, omens and armies — a restoration of a life too vast for footnotes and too costly for legend alone. Not a retelling. A resurrection. <<less
