Hated by her lineage, Iliya Dalaminai dwells in self isolation, awaiting the day her cousin marries so she might escape the Throne. Feared by the Gods, Sorein Chakrine's crown is mainly a relic put on display at royal ceremonies to ward off evil. When Souls escape the Aphyre and wreak havoc in the streets of Chiori Faire, the Solstice Festival becomes a haunted front line for the undead. With the Royal Guard struggling to gain control, Iliya and Sorein find themselves thrust in the middle of an ancient investigation. Constantly at each other's throats and lost in the conspiracies beginning to corner them, the race to seal the Afterworld and return the Souls to rest quickly morphs into something much darker. A trial to prove their innocence. As more and more evidence surfaces against Sorein, the irreverent Fae Prince might just wish he had never stepped foot on Chiori's shore. Leaving Iliya to pick up the pieces of her crumbling country the only way she knows how.

Isidra yearns to become one of the Andarae, a global peacekeeping force of mortals and dragons. Syl has a grudge against the Andarae because they betrayed her family. When the Sanctuary of the Andarae is attacked, a magical accident binds Isidra to Syl. Irreversibly connected by blood and soul, they're forced to team up as a dragon-rider pair and train together. That would be bad enough, since they can't stand each other...then bloodless corpses start turning up, and it becomes clear that someone's hellbent on destroying the Andarae from within. With the future of both their races at stake, Isidra and Syl must put aside their differences to solve the string of violent crimes. But that puts a target on their backs, which means the next bloodless corpses might be them. They'll have to stay one step ahead on this magical murder mystery... Because if they can't learn to work together, they'll die together.

Cassy was thrown into a world she doesn't understand, after her guardians, Caron and Kavos, were killed in front of her very eyes. She is lost without them. But an unexpected blessing rides high in the horizon...

Kallai has a tendency to make things explode. Not on purpose, but every spell she's ever tried has gone up in a puff of smoke. Literally. And being the only mage in school who can't actually perform a spell has left her at the mercy of those looking for an easy target. It takes her meeting Shuu, a boy who claims to have been sent away from a war, to get her to really open her eyes to the world and her situation. But Shuu isn't safe to be around, and the longer Kallai is with him, the closer to the fire she gets. NaNoWriMo 2013

As the youngest sister of the current Sultan, Eliska has been raised in the harem. But she's been trained not to be a bride, though she has had instruction in the womanly arts, but rather as a spy. To protect her brother and the rest of the family, she must pretend to be someone else entirely in order to keep their lands safe. Tariq is a fixer, with a well deserved reputation in the criminal underworld for being the go-to person for any kind of problem that needs solving and the willingness to do anything to solve his clients problems. Hired to find a boy taken by slavers, he's reminded strongly of his own past and dedicates himself to the search. As his investigation continues, he keeps running into the same pretty girl who attacked him, apologized, and then paid him off all in the same night. Neither can deny that the other is interesting and as their mutual goals begin to converge, a kind of alliance springs up between them. But Tariq is a criminal and Eliska a princess, and whatever else might be growing between them, it might not be enough to overcome their barriers and secrets. If they even manage to keep themselves alive among dark magic, plots, and corruption. NaNoWriMo project for 2015.

A story is never a single tale. Two and a half centuries have passed since the Orders of knighthood defeated the demonic threat of the Predation. Now, thanks to the wisdom of the Association of Merchants and the intellect of the Guild of Engineers, the land is thriving once again. Its citizens sleep soundly in their beds, mistakenly believing that the peace will last forever. Templar Rourke has dedicated his life to hunting down the insidious devices of war that the Predation left behind. His search has led him to the besieged city of New Broker, where he uncovers a terrible truth. Now he and the obstinate Forge Guard Warvitch must escape the city to save the land from ruin, but to do so, their collective skills are going to be sorely tested. Meanwhile, Yosh Morrina, accomplished thief and fraudster, leaves civilisation behind to search for his lost love. Rourke and Morrina have never met, but their tales are tied. Their shared story will take you on a journey to a new world's distant corners. From the wealthy streets of Naddaran to the rising sands of the southern desert, and from the sweltering heat of the Cusp Jungle to the storm blown seacoast of the Lost Lands. **PLEASE NOTE. TALES OF ENGINES & DEMONS WILL BE PUBLISHED ON AMAZON ON 14TH MAY. ON THAT DATE, THE MAJORITY OF IT WILL BE TAKEN DOWN FROM WATTPAD, AND ONLY A SAMPLE WILL REMAIN.**
