My Original Fiction
This is a list of my current fiction projects! Click on the links to learn more about each one.
The Coming Storm
A DnD-inspired fantasy adventure novel about love, grief, guilt, politics, pirates, monsters, time loops, fate, mysteries, magic, and world-altering artifacts. This is the first book of what I anticipate being a trilogy. It's also my main project currently!
All Aesind wants is to cross the sea and start his new life in Emberglen. But the past has sharp claws, and it's not so easy to just walk away. He's already tangled up in the political scandal of the century with a hefty price on his head, and now, he has to contend with a mute runaway, a stubborn navigator, and a mysterious time-walker who simply will not leave him alone. It's do or die for more than just Aesind and his hopes for a fresh start as the world he thought he knew only gets stranger and stranger.
From forays into mysterious island towers to pirate politics to monsters lurking in dark corners, this one-way trip rapidly goes from bad to worse as Aesind's refusal to trust his newfound allies creates more problems than it solves.
Current Status: 90% written (first draft)
The Rising Tide

Worthy
An alternate universe of The Coming Storm. Same characters, different world, totally separate story. My brain worms for my own work are so bad, I wrote myself fanfiction. Yep.
Injured while tracking a pack of mindless, bloodthirsty ghouls, monster hunter Emrys is rescued by the godkin Archimedes and taken back to his manor home to recover. As he heals, Emrys finds himself falling for not only Archimedes but for Archimedes's partner, the magician Aesind. While it's true that Archimedes is expected to take a second mate, Emrys is a lowly commoner -- not at all worthy of a godkin lord or a powerful magician. As the three grow closer despite a regular rotation of noble suitors coming to call, the threat of ongoing, intensifying ghoul attacks on settlements in Archimedes's territory looms over them all.
Will love conquer all, or will clashing politics and past abuses wreak havoc on this budding relationship before it even has a chance to bloom?
Current Status: Ongoing; no set length or goal
