As the “special author’s edition”, this copy features new author’s notes, the author’s preferred order, and a glossary containing extra lore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MUIRGEN

On their sixth anniversary, an explosion stole their lives. Tristan was still reeling from the loss of his wife when he was reborn as Muirgen, the plain daughter of minor nobility.

In a flashy fantasy land that his brother would have drooled over, what was waiting for him was not a life of magic or easy glory, but exploitation at the hands of a father who legally owned him.

Just when he had lost all hope, an unexpected second chance arrives through a political marriage to the dark elf queen.

"Muirgen" is an atypical gender bender about grief, agency, and the art of learning to love again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE HEART IS A SEA

Mermaids are beautiful – everyone knows that. But at what point does admiring them become something more?

Skye has been wrestling with that question for almost the whole thirteen years of her life. Now, cast out by her friends under suspicion of being “a lesbo”, it seems like the only question that matters.

When an enthusiastic mermaid princess offers her a deal that might bring her closer to the answer, Skye agrees without sparing a thought for the consequences.

"The Heart is a Sea" is a romantic comedy about compulsory heterosexuality and mer-human culture clash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TO BE A PRINCESS (THERE MUST FIRST BE PAIN)

Princesses don’t cry.

This is the one rule for royalty in Corde Femmes. Vervain has known since she was a child that her fate is to be kidnapped by the Demon Queen, like all princesses before her, and saved after a year of penance. It’s the only way to appease the goddess, Feuvert.

But when her summoned hero sneers at the task before her and refuses to follow tradition, Vervain fears that Feuvert’s wrath will destroy them all.

A young woman is stranded; fortunately she is found, unfortunately it is by an orc.

The wedding procession treads an isolated path from this world to another and fills the night with its haunting song. Red petals whirl around the wedding sedan, dyeing the air with a nostalgic fragrance. The bedecked groom smiles within the sedan as the scent and melody evoke recollections of the past.... more>>

Memories unspool, starting from the Ghost Festival during which a visit from a mysterious man in an iron mask sent unease rippling through the village. When Xie An, an ostracized young man, met the masked Lord Jing, he could never have foreseen the affection they’d come to share—an affection deepened from dreams both wondrous and comforting, connected by a hair-thin bond that grew strong enough to bend time itself. <<less

Characters are named for bronze age cultures present in Italy, because I couldn't think of a better naming scheme. Cover image is just the flag of the 18th century Roman Republic. I felt a tricolour would be fitting, but France would be too blatant, and I'm already using italian-ish names. So, the flag of a Napoleonic puppet state in Italy! As with most of the stuff I publish to this site, this is terribly pretentious. You have been warned.

The Fan is a young city that consists of three races. Humans: possessing no supernatural power, Elementals: able manipulate matter, and Imps: the failed and mutated attempt at a man-made Elemental.... more>>

Like the Fan that exists in a delicate balance, Lilah's natural born Elemental family is constantly on the brink. With her mother slowly wasting away from an incurable illness for ten years, she lives every day with her like it's the last. In that time, her father, one of the strongest Elementals alive, used his very life-force to keep his wife going.

Until one day...he didn't. <<less

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.

A modest witch performs a special procedure on a new client

For generations, Christian’s family have had a natural ability to see beings that are usually invisible to humans and to do magic. They aren’t, however, the only witches in the world or even in the area. When his Scottish-born mother wants to return to her family, and her husband and his widower father decide to go with her, Christian inherits the responsibility for their house and its hidden library.... more>>

Not alone, however. His family leave him with a roommate, Mark, an apparently normal human around his own age. But appearances are especially deceptive in this case.

Christian builds a reputation, first around the New Age bookshop where he works, then beyond that, as someone to turn to when things go bump in the night. Whether it's lingering negative energy, a lost ghost, or a dangerous infestation, he'll solve it. Sometimes, that's with the help of a powerful, sensual, and often bloodthirsty lamia who is still perplexed about how she has come to genuinely care about a human.

Throw in a group of witches called the Fellowship, who are firmly convinced that all witches should come under their authority and above all else stay below the radar; a subgroup within the Fellowship who feel that the ends for the greater good justify any means; a few supernatural threats; a friend from another independent witch family, who has a very close past history with a kitsune who says less than she does; Christian’s Dungeons and Dragons gamer group; a young black cat in dire need of a home; a colony of feral cats inherited from his great-aunt; and a couple of non-witch friends, and life gets complicated in a hurry.

Two characters in this are significantly transgender, in different ways, and orientation is mostly not a consideration. Oh, and it's set in 1998, which was when the very first, very rough draft was written.

** Trigger warnings **
This one does have more explicit sex and violence than my usual, and that's primarily all about the titular lamia herself. It's going to be difficult to be comprehensive without spoilers, but feel free to ask if you have questions, I completely understand. Broad strokes: lamias are a form of energy vampire/succubus (sort of) and actively hunt men to feed, usually without killing but also without consent - if you're okay with the typical vampire/succubus morality this should be okay. (Consent is different with humans she knows!) Lamias tend to have a very direct and physical approach to removing obstacles and annoyances; most of the violence is towards aggressive supernatural creatures (one scene came out particularly gory), but not all of it. One minor character who appears briefly late in the story endured some abuse that ends at that point. There's no harm done to children or animals with the single exception of a cat hunting a mouse. Please be careful with this one if you're prone to triggers!

After yet another night of feeling desperately single, a demoness shows up to grant Aurelia's wish for a girlfriend.

ZM-11833 was confused, normally they stood in the display window dressed in the latest fashion for the masses to admire but lately there hadn’t been any cuties arriving at their store. Only these strange new customers with their sickly wet skin and bulging eyes turning up. ... more>>

They really should go to a dermatologist-bot instead. 

Maybe the perfectly made and fantastically fetching fashion-bot would have to go out for the first time and start to look for some of their adorable prior customers to dress-up in the latest cyber-dress. And if these strange new invaders got in their way they might have to politely break some elongated skulls, after all they weren’t even paying customers. 

Standard store policy.

Upon finding their perfectly 100% willing companion, (don’t believe a word they say otherwise), they realize the parent corporation of their arcology isn’t going to just let an invasion stand, and the pair must make it to the top. 

After all, what's a little Nuclear fire between friends anyway?

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book One of
the Cosmos Shared Universe is a place which
is not as desolate as it appears.... more>>

Can you bottle happiness? Apparently, you can, and Constantine Angelid is rather good at it, actually. So good, in fact, that it amuses him to ply this trade on a forum in the Dark Web. Yet, he meets an interesting human there, who makes him question all of his truths.
Daniel was just looking for fresh ideas in the Tor browser for his new book. Now, he is involved in the new Dimensional Theory, and the case for disappearing happiness potions that spans all over the Cosmos.
He is given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to come to Ursula 590, a planet in the Ursula Solar System. He gets to be with Constantine, once he finds out he is not only a shaman, but a shaman that can use the core of a planet to power up his spells.
I wrote this last year so I don't remember much about what happened in the book, but I do know it is in 1st person with POVs. The book is complete, and will be updated daily, until I run out of chapters. Enjoy!
The Cosmos Shared Universe is made up from 3 books, which will be posted here in this book page:
Bottle it up!
Dungeon Integration! (dungeon core)
Book Two of the Cosmos Shared Universe
(Sequel to Bottle It Up!)
An m/m fantasy novel with sci-fi elements,
and comedic undertones.
In a world where happiness can be bottled, a dungeon core is displaced from his home when a baby dungeon core sprouts in his backyard.
He’s lucky that a human who is also an immigrant in the Cosmos has grown attached to him. Nathaniel agrees to help Tim spread his influence over the planet Ursula 590.
The problem? Well, dungeon cores might be as numerous as mushrooms in the New Cosmos, but they are unknown in the Cosmos. From petitions to kidnapping attempts, the integration of one World Dominating Dungeon Core has never been as complicated. And, if he can’t win the citizens of Ursula 590 over, then, he will be cast out into outer space.
From Scorpio with Love! (dungeon core)
I will add the dungeon core tag when I start posting Dungeon Integration.

From Scorpio With Love

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book Three of
the Cosmos Shared Universe. A place which
is not as desolate as it appears.

Wei is a dungeon core and finally getting a planet of his own. However, despite his best efforts, he can’t gain a form. The only thing he can do is protect the interests of the Dru’dru natives of the planet, a task that seems almost impossible with the recent development coming to light.
Rodger Deltona is appalled at the actions of his fellow citizens of the Cosmos. Not only are they demanding that the Dru’dru are to give back the gold left on their planet, they are also demanding that the Dru’dru penguins be reprogrammed, and without a trial.
Rodger takes radical actions, in defense of the poor birds. But is he enough to hold back the tides? Can he and Wei work together, despite their rocky start? Will the Cosmos accept a chimera species, the product of human experimenting? <<less
