At Willard's department store, none of the night security guards survive for long, and eighteen-year-old Daniel Gale is about to discover why. "At the heart of it, Night Shift is a haunting love story. It is equal parts moving and chilling, which is what makes it so excellent." - Carmen Ho @ HQ ***** Tired of living out of his backpack, Daniel ignores the rumors about the old building being haunted and accepts the latest vacated position of night guard at Willard's department store. As his life becomes more entwined with Willard's, Daniel senses unnatural changes and bizarre coincidences. Soon he begins to suspect Willard's is hiding something more sinister than gossip about ghosts - something that could make him the next casualty of the night shift.

[01/07/2021] - [13/04/2023] "You can't keep going around like a fucking maniac and treating me like shit. That isn't how relationships work," Sophia's voice was havoc as she verbalized her emotions. "That isn't how we work..." Tired, vulnerable and agitated at not only him, but herself. How could she let herself get this far, in such little time? He looked down, ashamed, not wanting to respond. His heart felt like it was beating faster than it should've. "I forgot how it felt to love you." As soon as those words were uttered from Sophia's lips, his world broke apart. Gone, in just a matter of seconds. - - - When Sophia Adam moves to a new town, she wishes nothing more than a boring, new life, to separate herself from her past.

To Sophia, moving to a new town was everything she imagined and more. She just didn't expect her past to follow.

And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

How much trouble can one erotic romance writer get into? Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to the Faustian deal with Loki, but you try turning him down! It's not like there's a writing course on preparing for your fictional character's sudden appearance in your backyard. Now that Asgard's Dark Prince has opened the door between universes, he isn't the only fictional character to do so, but Loki does NOT like to share. And, wow, he's creative at ensuring he has my attention. What's a writer to do but document the chaos as he haunts my life? After all, some risks may be worth taking. But my story is not for the faint of heart. I wouldn't be foolish enough to fall for my own character... would I? *** This story includes themes of polyamory, LGBTQ, BDSM, consent, exhibitionism, size differences, and explicit sexual language. It is rated MATURE and is absolutely not for those under 18.

When Loki's consort and soulmate marries his rival to save their son from a curse, a prophecy leads to consequences even the God of Chaos couldn't predict. *** The Unseelie Goddess of War's revenge against Asgard's Dark Prince puts him in a no-win scenario with a choice between losing his soulmate or his son. Bad enough that damn Atlantean prince saved Shannon when Loki couldn't, but now Elatha is saving Loki's son by stealing his mate. Neither outcome will leave Shannon and Loki's relationship unchanged. While some of Shannon's Unseelie relatives have no issue with killing her son, others aren't so blase about the curse. Yet it's the prophecy at Shannon's birth that's brought Elatha and Shannon together in this arranged marriage. When betrayal strikes, it may be the key to saving not just her son, but Loki's soul as well. The prophecy hints at a chance to right a mistake that has haunted him, but it will require more soul-searching than Loki is comfortable with. Wait until he finds out he'll have to get along with his rival Elatha to achieve their goals. FINAL STORY IS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER at all major retailers. This early draft will no longer be available on Wattpad after June 1, 2025. If you want to read it for free and review, a Booksirens link will be provided in May. Awards: 1st - Amby Awards 2023

When his worst fear comes true, Asgard's Dark Prince will stop at nothing to rescue his pregnant consort. Yet, not even the threat of Asgard's forces looming in the skies over Alfheim can force the Unseelie Winter Realm Elves to produce Shannon when she's missing from her cell. Nightmares of his previous wife's death at the hands of the Unseelie haunt him as he searches for Shannon. A feisty, newly immortal Elven Goddess, Shannon isn't the type to wait for rescue. Cut-off from connecting with her soulmate Loki by a dwarven iron cuff, she doesn't know who to trust. Although born on Alfheim, Shannon has no memories of this planet or its realms. Surrounded by dark forces wielding the power of blood sacrifices, this mortal-scientist-turned-goddess must rely on her wits and limited, dwindling energy resources for her and her child's survival. Only weeks remain in her pregnancy, and the Fates don't play fair. The cost to save her son may be more than her heart can bear. Some truths are hard to swallow. Some laws of the universe can't be fought. Book Two of the Triquetra Prophecy Trilogy within the Gods Among Us universe is based in an amalgamation of world mythologies including Norse, West Coast First Nations, Mesoamerican, Celtic, Greek, Egyptian, and Chinese, blended with our current modern world, and expanded to other worlds across multiple solar systems within this alternate universe. ** THIS BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE on all major retailers. If you want to read it for free and review, it is on booksprout and booksirens (see links within Update Chapter). There is a five chapter preview here, but the full story is no longer on Wattpad.

After a steamy encounter with Asgard's Dark Prince unlocks her genetics, an unsuspecting scientist discovers not only are Gods real, she is one. *** When Shannon boards her flight to London, she's stunned her seatmate is actor Tod Corvus. Their rawly sensual union forges an unbreakable connection while uncovering hidden truths. With her sense of identity shattered, Shannon fears the destruction of everything she's worked to build in her life. Trusting her heart to another isn't on the agenda after her painful past. But more than her feelings are at stake. Mastering new powers presents its own set of challenges when annoyance generates a wall of fire or fear spawns a tornado. Adjusting to her new reality requires time she may not have. The God of Chaos never expected to be blessed with a soulmate, especially after the death of his immortal wife. Finding Shannon, then losing her within hours of her Goddess transformation is devastating. And it's his fault. As a new immortal of unknown background, she has no idea of the range of her abilities, how to protect herself, or even what dangers await her in the immortal world. Loki has never feared his enemies. Until now. Now, he has everything to lose.

Lorelei Eden is the daughter of a wealthy merchant, bored with her daily life and the binds that restrain her as a Lady. She dreams of freedom and a new wild life she knows she can never have. Or never thought she could. Not until pirates seize her fathers ship and take her along with the rest of their loot. Lorelei is thrust into an adventure she never even dreamed of, one she never wanted. One that is a constant threat to her life. An adventure by the name of Captain Adrien Axe. ~~ The man lounged upon the lowest yardarm of the mast, toying with a coin in his hair as he surveyed the scene of captives below. I glared up at him through my lashes, wishing he would fall and crack open his daft skull. As if sensing my thoughts his attention left the coin and shifted to where I sat, hands tied behind my back. A grin spread over his face, "Well..." he purred out, "now isn't that a pretty sight." I sincerely hope he was staring at my bosom because he fancies the gold and pearls that rests between them. He waved down at the dirty men carrying various things between ships, "her too...I like her, she's...." He licked his lips, "just lovely." My eyes grew wide as I was roughly pulled to my feet and they started to drag me away.
