The ORO can be hired, by referral only, to eliminate humans who have committed grievous crimes and escaped punishment, generally at the request of their victims. Those found guilty after an extensive investigation receive a "visit" from one of the office's otherworldly hunters, after which all parts are put to "community use." Afterall, some beings of folklore and myth, despite all efforts, require sustenance that is significantly more... human. ... 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.

But for the vast majority of the time, it's an isolated scene in a world yet to be built that I daydream about.

Excerpt:... more>>

"What are you waiting for? I SAID GET OUT AND GET OUT NOW!" Alpha King Jairus Mathiasen growled menacingly, and he was in front of her instantly, leaving his mistress's side.

His sweet luscious lips that used to kiss her tears away or pepper kisses all over her body, having her skin erupt in a flurry of warm, comforting, and sensual tingles now curled into a scowl as he reared back his hand and struck his Queen Luna Aakifahlynn across the face, this time with the already prepared and signed divorce paper.

Causing her to stumble, hunching over sideways with the force of her husband's shove behind the slap. With her reflexes, she was able to right herself as she held the side of her face that stung in the aftermath of his heavy hand.

And yet mild sparks were warming it simultaneously, but she was thankful he did not use his full strength on her weakened body.

Yes, her husband, a man she had married, loved, and given five years of her life as a doting and supportive wife and Queen Luna. That same man was her mate for eight years and counting.

A mate who was destined to be with her, he was made specifically for her, and she for him. Blessed by the Divine Moon Goddess herself with the aim that her creation, whom she calls her children, would never be alone in this treacherous world.

They would always have each other if no one else.

Queen Luna Aakifahlynn stared at the man, her husband, but she did not know who this person was before her. She surmised for the fourth time during this nightmare she would not seem to wake up from.
_________________________________________________

There is no wrath like a woman betrayed in the most gruesome way.

Queen Luna Aakifahlynn Mathiasen was a fierce Ace wolf, gifted and highly favored by the Divine Moon Goddess. She was also a devoted mate, wife, and Queen of the Tamman Kingdom in the Anatola Continent.

Aakifahlynn was betrayed most horrendously by her husband and mate, Alpha King Jairus Mathiasen.

In the moment before her death, she resigned herself to her faith and welcomed the unknown of the afterlife if there was such a thing.

However, she was stunned at what happened next. Queen Luna Aakifahlynn found herself alive three years earlier, with memories of her past life still very much untouched.

Wrought by sour detestation, with a second chance, Queen Luna Aakifahlynn vowed the destruction of her enemies.

However, what would happen when her sworn Ayacquean enemy offers to help her? The disgraced, dark, and mysterious Emperor Demarion Dracul.

Can she trust her enemy? What secrets is the Emperor hiding?

The Ayacques were considered enemies of the Kingdom of Tamman because they never surrendered to the throne and their constant incitement of war. They were conniving, calculative, deceitful, yet desirable.

What would happen if this unlikely combo started noticing each other somewhere along the lines of their thirst for revenge?

Dive in and find out, and in the end – Would you call her the Victim or the Villain? <<less

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.

AN: this is a pass time for me, so releases won't be regular(but it's summer so I've got tons of free time), also grammar and punctuation might be a bit off.

Seven centuries before he became The Pink Necromancer, Quaraun was just a common ordinary Moon Elf, who made the mistake of falling in love with the world's most feared tyrant war criminal: King Gwallmaiic, The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley, King of the Faeries. Mesmerized by the evil Phooka's charm, Quaraun moves into the manically depressed King's gingerbread house, becoming his lover and apprentice, as the shape-shifting Phookan King mascarades around the Moon Elf Villages as the seemingly harmless pastry chef and candymaker: BoomFuzzy the Unicorn. But all hell breaks loose when the ancient king is driven to suicide, and Quaraun in turn murders his wife and children in an attempt to resurrect the Elf... more>> Eater as a Lich.

WARNING: This story contains graphic scenes of torture, mutilation, and suicide. Reader discretion is STRONGLY ADVISED!

If you ever wondered which of my books it was that was the bestseller which sold 57 million copies... this is it. BoomFuzzy was also the first Gay Romance novel to ever be allowed on Amazon, with Amazon creating the Gay Romance category specifically for this book to be placed on their website.

In 2016 and 2017, BoomFuzzy was awarded "The Best Gay Romance of the Year Award" and was the top selling Gay Romance novel both those years.

In celebration of it's 50th anniversary, BoomFuzzy is being released here, for the first time available free to read online.

In celebration of it's 50th anniversary, The entire Quaraun Series - all 200+ previously published novels and 2,000+ previously published short stories are being released here, for the first time available free to read online.

Yes, this is a "reprint" of a book published in the 1970s. This is not new or being written, it was finished 50 and published years ago. All chapters are being uploaded on a release schedule, but the story is already finished and complete.

NOTE: Each “chapter” is its own short story that stands on its own. The collected chapters, as a whole, tell many facets of the events surrounding Quaraun’s life and the lives of his friends and family. As such, the “chapters” do not progress in a linear beginning to end fashion, rather, they move forward and backward in time, including time travel portal travel, and flashbacks. The full series spans a time period from 800A.D. to the year 2525, with stories zipping back and forth to any era between those years.

This means you can read each “chapter” on its own, in any order, without reading the ones before or after it, or can read them in any order you please, if you choose to do so.

It’s lots and lots and lots of short stories about one character and his friends and family. Every main character with in each story is somehow a friend or relation to Quaraun, even in the stories Quaraun himself does not appear in.

I’ve tried to make sure editing was complete before uploaded, but some typos or grammar errors may have slipped through. If so, I’ll edit those as I notice them.

Note: I am Scottish, and this book is written in my native language. NO, BoomFuzzy's dialogue is NOT a made up language it is a very real world language called Gypsy Cant also known as Scottish English also known as Gaelic- if you have trouble understanding him, there are plenty of Scottish English/Gaelic to American English Dictionaries out there. American English is not my native language, and this series uses Scottish English spellings and grammar. (No, this is NOT UK English or British English)

As this is my first time uploading to ScibbleHub, I may not have formatted these early ones correctly. If so, I’ll edit and try again.

I hope you enjoy reading this series as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Many hugs, from EelKat <<less

This... was a personally odd dream, one that had happened more than a few times already and I'm not sure how to really explain it all, but I'll do it to the best of my ability to get it all out.

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
