Ether is a girl of the sky who possesses the ancient Element of Aether, and she can manipulate in any way she pleases. From opening and closing portals to distant worlds and controlling a powerful conflagration, to owning a magnificent set of wings and throwing stars from the sky, Ether's Elemental abilities are inestimably powerful. However, she is internally and externally damaged, thanks to her former love, Erebos, who left her to die. For millennia, Ether has been traversing across the universe in Erebos' wake of destruction, and now she finally has been able to keep track of him. Though she know his demise will come, she must battle to weaken him until she can make the final blow. In a twist of a cosmic love and the fury of two Elementals, only destiny and the balance of the powers of Aether and Nether can determine the winner of an eternal battle. This short story presents only one of the numerous battles that Ether and Erebos have fought. All of the artwork is original and done by me, but expect a few of these short stories leading up to the novel that will eventually be released about these two forces of good and evil.

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

THE TAVERNER'S DAUGHTER - BOOK ONE FANTASY, MAGIC, DRAGONS, ROMANCE, WINGED WIZARDS. Please Note: The rest of this series will not be published until the complete series is drafted and revised - probably another four volumes over the next year. However, this book doesn't end on some really bad cliffhanger, and I think it has a satisfactory 'end' feel, so do read it if you wish. After mistaking a leather-clad wizard for a dragonrider, the taverner's daughter agrees to binding vows: Jarryd hopes for a magic-saving paternity spell but Taniel just wants his dragon. Of course, it is not that simple. It never is. Others have plans for Taniel and can do without Jarryd's interference. Taniel's father is little help, too busy dealing with a guilty conscious and pining for his missing wife. Add talking dragons, kidnappings, a gallivanting Grandmaster Wizard, a wicked stepfather, seductive shape shifting winged wizards, and midwitchery. Stir with rumour of plotting land-locked pirates, spies, feisty forest sprites, rockgoblins, and a failing magical barrier. Welcome to the world of A Corrangorachian Fantasy. SOME MILD MATURE MOMENTS (but maybe not enough to mark MATURE): A few not-particularly-graphic sex scenes. Violence? Could get nasty, depending on your perception. Drug Use? Pipe smoking, copious alcohol, and the odd potion. And some coarse language, of course. (AUSTRALIAN - BRITISH ENGLISH)

Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.

Wow, a sketchbook! You didn't see that coming, did you!? The drawings are just things that I sometimes doodle on the edge of my paper, etc. I have way too many sketchbooks for some reason... All my sketches are done with pencil or pen - I have no skill at drawing with a computer (sorry). I don't post drawings that much anymore, even though I still draw. COVERS: Sometimes I create covers with pictures from the internet (I don't draw them!) randomly. I usually use Photoshop or just Word. If you want me to create a cover, I'd actually love to - I enjoy doing them. It won't cost you anything - except maybe a note saying I made it. If you want to see some of the covers I've made, so far I've done covers for "Maze" (by @_Tally_the_Total_), "The Gryphon's Bond" (by @LadyJennifer97) and "Winter's Daughter" (by @frostgirl2000). Go check out their books! drawings not that good lol wouldn't bother
