* 2017 WATTY WINNER!* Blurb: Humans are at the top of the food chain and always have been. But what if they weren't? What if another took our place and decided to raise and exploit us as we have every other animal on earth? Welcome to a world after humanity... No one is exactly certain where the sibla came from. Some say they evolved from humans long ago, slowly taking power as their numbers increased. Taller, stronger, and longer-lived, than homo sapiens it isn't too hard to imagine. Now humans must face a reality in which they are no more than animals, domesticated beasts bred for their master's various needs and hungers. Rachel Turner is only eight years old. Born in Demin, one of the last remaining free human settlements on earth, she has never been forced to face the reality of life under a sibla Master, living a carefree existence in her hidden village. Magnus Kendrick is a sibla farmer with a sizable estate on which he raises all manner of livestock, from chickens, to sheep, to...humans. He is also the man destined to purchase Rachel's life. *Warning: This book contains a certain degree of gore and disturbing themes Beautiful cover by @my_fairytale 2016 Fright Fest Gold Winner Cryptic's Choice 2017 WATTY Winner ( Story Smiths category) *All Rights Reserved

THE WORLD'S GREATEST WAR NOVEL... If Homer's ODYSSEY is, as many have maintained, " the world's greatest adventure story," then the ILIAD can justly be called "the world's greatest war novel." The terrible and long-drawn-out seige of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns, and the heroism and treachery of the combatants have been unmatched in song and story.

Odysseus, the ruler of Ithaca, has survived the Trojan war. Now, to make it home to his family, he must endure ten years of wandering the earth, facing vicious monsters, destructive forces of nature, powerful warriors and seductive enchantresses.

[FIRST DRAFT] What if the myths....were real? On the planet Earth nothing is impossible. Everything beyond your imagination exists. To the most terrifying monsters to the things that are thought to only live in legends. So because of that, it shouldn't really come as a surprise when two Gods, Thoth and Hermes, find a fledged demon in the back alleyways of Greece. What does come as a surprise, though, is when they find themselves thrown into a conspiracy that forces them to help the young demon understand how much of a powerful threat she really is before it's too late.

A short thing I wrote for my school's literary magazine

Dr. Jonathan Mortis' wife is dead. Taken by the drug known as 'Krokodil', the pathologists' only living family member is now six feet under in the city cemetery. Now, after also surviving a crash that should have ended his life, Mortis is obsessed with death and proposes a country wide study. Citizens will be assigned numbers and put into a lottery at the age of twenty-one. If chosen, citizens will be flown to a remote, yet furnished, island monitored by Mortis and his team. Even numbers are the victims who are forced to survive on the island with what could only be considered the undead. Odd numbers are the 'Angels of Death', people injected with the 'Krokodil' drug and forced to eat human brains in order to induce a crazed mental state. Mortis swears that he will have no intervention in the study, but when the beautiful Adelaide finds herself in a situation that she never would have imagined, Mortis must make a choice...ignore the girl and continue his work, or potentially risk his study in the name of love.
