The color green. His father's flag. The church decor. The Ivy League. It seems to follow the aspiring academic Seph Clarkson wherever he goes, like his life is being suffocated by its overgrown weeds. In a series of letters to his long-estranged Pa, Seph chronicles his journey from institution to institution, hoping to one day discover the textbook he will find himself in.

For lovers of the Hyboria of Robert E. Howard and his larger-than-life characters Conan and Red Sonja, comes this tale from the author of Rose of Sorrows (Amazon, eBook, paperback, hardcover). Not of larger-than-life heroes, but of a Mouse who scurries unnoticed in the shadows trying to survive in an unrelenting and cruel world. Arenjun in Zamora, it is said, produces the best thieves, spies, and assassins. Among Arenjun's various storied Grandmasters, none have heard of Jhyai. And that is how she likes it.

The clerical cloak given to him to confine him to the ways of The Moon God instead let Festor stay invisible as he quietly grew his rebellion. Festor's hidden alliance - called L'Sunder - seeks to mix both the cultures and divine magics of the world's major cosmic deities. The time has come for him to start pushing his initiative publicly, an effort for unity he hopes will change the world for the better. Or, in the eyes of the current head of a priestly bloodline deemed near-royalty, Half-Moon Davodson Lunik the Fifth, shatter the universe's stability entirely. Influential, wealthy, and relentlessly devout, Lunik is Festor's biggest threat. Conference after conference seems to bring the two rivals much too close for comfort, threatening to expose L'Sunder out from under the radar. Much as they want to believe it, neither party is wholly virtuous nor villainous, each finding the game - and their adversary - growing more complicated the more cards they play. Festor just hopes he'll make it out with the upper hand. I'm writing this story as a teaser for my visual novel Project Grandfather Clock - demo coming this winter.

🍀1st Place at the 2025 Four Leafed Clover Awards🍀 "What do I hunger for..." The existence of Shades are as old as history. Soul-eating entities with skin as black as ink and a presence as cold as ice. They don't have an end goal, their only purpose: to consume. Through a series of events, a Shade meets Dawn, a shy, noble girl that's still coping the loss of her father, who died three years prior. The Shade curses himself to her umbrella. All the while, making a vow - to protect her and watch over her, even if that means ostracizing himself from the rest of his species. --- What to expect: - A character focused story with a cast you'll grow to love. (Or absolutely hate) - Grim, dark moments, balanced out by comforting and cozy moments. - A story that takes place in a Medieval London-esque world that's expanded on as the story progresses.
