When an accident causes the early death of two young women, one is chosen to become a hero, a saviour, and a servant of the God of Heroes!... more>>

This is not her story. This is the story of Valeria, whose soul clung to her friend’s, and who was dragged into a new world where her wandering spirit was claimed by the Goddess of Darkness.

And so, one who doesn’t belong grows to become the servant of the Dark Goddess, a servant—definitely not a daughter—who will usher in a new age of despair and disgust.

The only problem is, she’s really bad at the whole “evil” thing, not that she’s unwilling to do her best to please her adoptive mom Dark Goddess. <<less

Max is a troubled individual, struggling through life without really knowing what they're doing or where they're going. ... more>>

Then, they meet Victoria, someone as attracted to weirdness as she is attractive to it. Victoria is interesting, fun and wonderful and she makes Max feel things.
They also meet Penny, an alien Symbiote that binds to their nervous system. Penny is weird, young and full of questions, and as a little bonus, gives Max superpowers.

If you've read the original Penumbral: This is not that story. The core premise is the same, and the characters are very similar, but this is a different story with a different atmosphere. Try to go in blind, if you can. <<less

[I died and was accidentally reborn as an angelic monstrosity, so now I’m building a holy dungeon-tower that is tall enough to reach the gods; so that I can complain about it! But the humans think that I am trying to destroy the world.]
____________________________
The senselessness of so much of the world’s death and suffering is made apparent to the dying paladin, Isaiah, in his final moments before he perishes and is, shortly thereafter, reborn into a comparatively quiet and peaceful existence as a simple blackbird.... more>>

However, the powerful magic of the god whom Isaiah himself had served in his prior human life upends this latest existence, as a spell goes awry, turning the entity instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal.

Isaiah, desperate to return to its simple life as a blackbird, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen by the eyes of the world in order to reach the reclusive gods who reside in the heavens above and make them undo the transformation in a bid to allow itself an escape from the complex suffering of intelligent, self-aware mortality.

Everyone's heard of summoning demons, right? That's not what this is. See what happened is I was summoned by demons, not the other way around. Apparently they want a virgin girl to corrupt for demonic energy purposes? I don't know. The point is, I'm not a girl, I'm just a regular ass dude who, like all regular ass dudes, thinks being a girl would be pretty darn cool, but that's irrelevant. What is relevant, is these three hot demon ladies who seem to be quite annoyed that their plan failed, and seem intent on taking that out on me.... more>>

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!

In a little thing we like to call the game of life some people get lucky, but this person wasn’t one of them.

“The game of life is a fun little thing where you are lucky or unlucky, try to change your destiny in this game and it may come back to bite. So don’t screw around.” This was something Kismo was told in the start of her new life, she was told this by countless people after escaping slavery right after she fell into this world, and she took that advice to heart.

Because in a world with islands floating in the sky having been separated from the ground below for countless generations with wars at sea or even in the sky, our MC will find herself in many dangerous and peculiar situations!

Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided for her by her father. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy.

One fateful day, the government offers Miguela an opportunity to join a team tasked with the mission of gathering intelligence via scrying magik. The catch is that Miguela and her associates can only scry the deceased.

Miguela finds the memories of the dead haunting but is adamant not to fail because the prospect of regaining control of her life and using her magik to help others gives her a purpose in life that she never had before. Of course, Miguela soon discovers her new job has an exorbitant cost. Will she be willing to pay when the bill comes due?

Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal!

What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal?

I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers.

The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology.

This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story.

In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

The golden knight, a summoner of fire and poetry enthusiast who loves speaking in verses takes the huge responsibility of cleansing the negativities that plague the unusual city of Ravenhide. This is the story of a mysterious swordsman with a blurry past and present who embarks on a spiritual journey to uncover his lost memories and decipher the truth behind his existence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a completed novel that has been edited countless times and sent to Readers Favorites for an honest review.
Below is the review from Carine Engelbrecht from Readers Favorites.... more>>

In Rhythm of Rampage, the enigmatic Golden Knight arrives in Ravenhide, a city plagued in the dark hours by various forms of supernatural life forms. He enlists as a bounty hunter and early on his path crosses that of Blaze, a woman with deep psychological wounds and a sharp pair of blades.

They become professional partners, pooling their talents to kick demonic ass and search for the elusive clues to the true identity of the Golden Knight - or GK for short. Some of GK's abilities suggest that there could be something monstrous about his aspect. The mysteries of Ravenhide are interwoven with harsher realities on another world - the cruel dystopia of Sinners Planet.

One of the best things about the story is a truly fascinating bestiary of monsters. Most of these tend to hide under the camouflage of human skin. And that can be downright twisty. It keeps the pace tight and drives the mystery and action of the story. It makes you question the nature of nearly every character, including the Golden Knight himself. This fluidity of internal logic is reminiscent of a computer game world, where an occasional shuffling of reality can bring new elements into play. The two main characters are clearly drawn. GK is defined by his underlying compassion, whereas Blaze hides troubling memories beneath an abrasive, wise-cracking exterior. Rhythm of Rampage is an entertaining, action-packed read, especially for fans of sword and sorcery or SF noir." <<less
