Originally I wrote this book with a coauthor who I'm no longer friends with, and the characters still talk to me so I'm rewriting it without any of her characters in it anymore, to write the plot that I had wanted to write. It's the first in a five book series, focusing on the struggles between an oppressed group of humans who summon elemental demons and the priests who want to destroy them.

I wanted to get some stories up here, so I dug out a few scenes I'd written long ago to accompany the first manuscript I completed, cowritten with a friend I no longer have communication with. I've since decided to rewrite that story with my own characters which I will also be posting as I complete it. The first scene here, The First Chill of Fall, I wrote to explore the relationship between two of my characters. I still love these characters, and they will always have a place in my heart, so that's why I decided to rewrite the series. The second scene, The Lesson, gives a look at how another of my characters, Death God Morryr, learned about his powers when he was young. Artwork was done by a dear friend Teffy who's not with us anymore.

'It's dark in the tombs, the air is thick with static and storm threatening the occupants with each labored breath. Golden eyes lock with icy blue hues, an unstated challenge between the two Gods. Anubis raised his inked back; a thick black oil leaking from the cracked skin as he snarls and snaps sharpening canines. "You betrayed me!" He roars. "And what would you have me do?! Deny a head God?!" The blue eyed God bellows, blackened ink dripping from shredded lips. The human shell is so easy to break and give way beneath a God's true form.' We Were Gods is a book about a young man named Oleander who finds out he is a God. The only problem is he just wants to be a normal mortal, especially since all Gods and Goddesses from every religion are expected to work in the Death Justice System. Not only that but his brother is set on destroying Oleander and his friends from a war that started back when they were just young Gods. Journey with Oleander and his new found friends to discover the inner workings of Gods, the secrets of their past lives, and finishing a war that is threatening all of mankind.

A fabled wall, marking the territory of the werewolves and adorned with the severed skull of a once great alpha, stands between Natalya and her prey. When she finds the body of Anesa, her beloved mentor, she is determined to hunt down the vampire responsible. Crossing the border into Claw Haven to follow him is sacrilege though, and the undead werewolves whose skeletal bodies wane and wax with the moon are more terrifying than the vampire she seeks. But there she meets Voren, a werewolf who is a living contradiction to everything she has been led to believe. Her journey into the lives of the pack entwines her and Voren's fates with that of a master vampire's: Arkadith. Defeating him may lift Voren's curse and bring peace to Valwood and Claw Haven, but Arkadith is determined to bring an end to this vampire huntress as well...
