The Empty World is a 200K word darkly whimsical Fantasy novel, in the supernatural-protagonist tradition of The Sandman or The Vampire Chronicles, about a young daimon who watches over a muse after 'saving' her with a bottle of vampire blood and how they deal with the vampire who bottled that blood and its corrupting influence on the muse. Their story is a love-letter to Gothic subculture which explores issues of identity, agency, and accountability. [See extras at back of book for alternate pitches, blurbs, and summaries.] --- Rated 'M' for some references to substance abuse and scenes of drug use, a few explicit scenes of sexuality, occasional strong language, and vampire-related blood and violence. Warning: references to attempted suicide and 9/11. EDITING NOTICE: Book 1 of 2 is complete (through Ch 20) and in editing from Draft 2.5 to Draft 3. Book 2 of 2 is posted, but has some narrative gaps and is in editing from Draft 2/Draft 2.5 to Draft 3. NOTE: Draft 3 will be an *estimated* 150K-200K words when complete. SEQUENCE NOTICE: The Empty World was written after The Devil's Shadow, but is a macroquel, encompassing the timeline of the earlier work, and considered the anchor work of the sequence with tie-ins to several other works in its series. "Orchid" cover by author, incorporating illustrated elements used under CC0 license. See Extras at end of work for alternate covers.

A storm is brewing in Vorbereich. Twenty years after a war with the Lindtin powers that ended in horrible losses for the country and its allies, the country is still as broken and divided as it was when the war ended... except, of course, for the ruling classes, who go to balls and dinner parties while the rest of the country struggles to survive. However, one man believes he can change that: a man that is known simply as the Archangel. Many believe that what he does is going to finally unify Vorbereich and bring the country back to the strength it had before the war. However, when an outlaw, an heir to a fortune, and a police inspector cross paths, it becomes clear to them that his intentions are less than pure. And that it's up to them to stop him, before another war breaks out. Note: This is a sample. The full book is currently available for preorder at https://www.amazon.com/Assassins-Blade-Archangel-Trilogy-Book-ebook/dp/B07J4FMGQX/ref=pd_ybh_a_20?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HKB32PKKGJSGVGPGCXQB

Her life changes when she stumbles across some people that aren't so different from herself. The adventure she has been waiting for arrives, and it comes in the form of a cloud, a baker, and a writer.

In the epic fantasy land known as The Kingdom, in its central region called Kingdomia, a beautiful princess has been saved by a dashing knight. Evil has been fought; justice has prevailed. How is it that, when the knight goes missing and the princess is once again in need of rescuing, a pint-sized drunk named Truman must save her, and the seven gods that once kept the world in harmony? It all started with an innocent lie. And it will end when all the gods are saved -- or Truman is dead. Of course, if Truman dies, the Kingdom will be conquered by pure evil. He'll just have to try not to think about that as he battles his way to save the first of the seven gods.
