The seven deadly sins with a shambling twist. It has been one hundred days since the zombies claimed the world. Cash, along with forty-two survivors, have found safety in the secluded and well-guarded Fox National Park. The leaves are changing colors, a beautiful, brutal reminder that winter is coming. As the survivors prepare for freezing months without electricity and not enough food, they learn of massive zombie herds several hundred miles north...and headed their way. To save the park, Cash must find a place for the survivors to hide from the migrating herds. If Cash and her small band of volunteers don't succeed by winter, the Fox survivors just may become Deadland's Harvest. (Deadland's Harvest is a journey through Dante Alighieri's classic tale on the seven deadly sins... zombie apocalypse style!) (Note: This is a draft so please excuse any errors. The finished novel is available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook).

(Posting to Royal Road) There is a thin and often blurred line that separates the world of humans from the Unseen. Morgan Black is the only human bound by iron to the myths and legends that police the border, a servant of law and a protector of order. When ancient echoes from the time before Time start to stir, however, her job of keeping the invisible world of ancient powers hidden from her own people becomes exponentially more difficult. Underpaid and overworked, she must confront the horrors that lie deep beneath myth. The Grey is concerned, the oracles have spoken, and quitting smoking was overrated anyway.

Witchspawn. Rotbringer. Child of Darkness. There are many names for someone born under a Warmoon, and Rhoa Strongcastle has heard them all. It doesn't help that on the night she was born, the Rot arrived, bringing sickness in its wake. In spite of the suspicion surrounding her, Rhoa works hard, training to become a Keeper like her father and brothers, guarding the ancient monster locked in the tower above Ardusk. But every twenty-one years the Warmoon rises again, and under its pull the monster grows stronger. With her twenty-first birthday less than a fortnight away, Rhoa's family is preparing for a new battle to keep the monster from breaking free and unleashing fiery havoc on everyone in its path. Things are not going according to plan. Tragedy leaves Rhoa to defend the Strongcastle fortress alone, and she makes the terrifying discovery that the Rot is more dangerous than she ever imagined - and it is coming for the tower. As threats to the fortress mount from multiple directions, Rhoa faces an impossible dilemma: trust what she knows or throw all of her hope on the very thing she fears. Open Novella Contest 2020

After the destruction of the town of Dalle by the forces of an evil general, the thorn knight responsible for the protection of the people butchered there has risen from the dead, transfigured not as a holy warrior, but an abomination: a revenant. Bound to life by the insatiable hunger for the destruction of Ghyslain "Shrike" Roche, she cannot die until her broken oath is atoned for by the shedding of his blood. Even her past is lost to her as she begins her quest, the only name she has for herself the one emotion she can no longer feel: Sorrow. The path to retribution, however, is fraught with peril and complications. Every step, darkness calls to darkness. When the price of eternal rest is evil of her own, what will she become?

(Posting to Royal Road) A child of Stormhenge, child of the giants of legend, Rúna has grown up sheltered among her own people, looking forward to the day she sets out into the wide world with a mix of excitement and trepidation. Every giant must find their place in legend, must win their gate into Paradise through feats of glory. Even trained for battle, schooled as a bard and storyteller, and born an able shape-shifter, she is anything but prepared for the world of the little-folk. Rigid and cut off from much of Creation, the world beyond Stormhenge is full of mysteries and dangers nothing has prepared her for. Her path takes her through the wild north, the lands of Ash Kordh, the home of myths and monsters, down into the kingdoms of men, where love and evil unfold as they will. Bound by the weaves and wefts of her fate, her honor will link her inexorably to those most in need of her protection and love even as she struggles to right a great wrong and cleanse a kingdom of dark influence. However, the cost, the sacrifice, might be more than she can pay.
