[COMPLETE] Casper's got three things: a trash boyfriend, a deadend job, and enough self-destructive habits to ruin his life.

Claiming to be Casper's lover from a past life, Cain takes him prisoner. But even if his kidnapper's starting to give him butterflies, Casper can't stay trapped in a cage.

[warning: on hold] Falling for a captive enemy prince is never a good idea. Especially if you stand to lose far more than only your heart. *** Humans are egoistical traitors by nature and can never be trusted. Sage Farun grew up with these words ingrained in his mind by his elders. The words rang ever so true when King Bertram of the humans declared war on the elves, blaming them for orchestrating the mysterious attacks on travellers passing through the Elven Wilds. Farun is eager to join the hunters and fight to drive the humans and other threats out of his woods, if only his village elders would allow him. All he's been hearing since the beginning of the war is a resounding 'no.' But with the capture of Prince Malte, the third son of King Bertram, Farun is finally granted his chance to prove he's ready to be a hunter. He is to personally guard the prince while the village elders use their human noble captive as leverage to negotiate the end of the war with the human king. Farun resents his duty as the infuriating and flirtatious prince's warden, but is willing to do whatever it takes to become a hunter. What he never expected was to develop a bond with the human, and that this bond would determine the fate of humans and elves alike.

To avoid failing English class, seventeen-year-old Max Callan signs up for a school penpal program that matches up students with deployed soldiers who have no one to write to. At first he's just doing it for the extra grades, but his correspondence with Captain Alastair Barrington-Stowsworth soon becomes a lifeline. Alastair is eloquent and caring, and his letters show Max that not all military men are abusive scum, like his late father. When Alastair asks what TV is and mentions trenches, Max pieces together an impossible truth. Alastair is not fighting in the modern Middle East like Max assumed, but in the trenches of France in 1916. Stranger still, Max might be falling in love with him.

Barnaby has a deer onesie, and he's starting to think, maybe, the two might look good together. "Fawned" is now available as a paperback on Amazon! This version is a first draft.

An aspiring knight unwittingly saves the dragon he was sworn to kill. But can he also win the dragon's heart and stop his kingdom from burning to ashes? *** It is tradition for knights to prove their worth by slaying a dragon in the Serpentine Mountains. For Laurence Montbow, an aspiring knight from a decrepit noble house, it's his only chance to save his family from losing their land, and to secure a good marriage. After a dragon hunt gone wrong, however, Laurence finds a naked elven man with amnesia instead. Knowing the guileless elf wouldn't survive on his own, especially when trapped in his enemy's land, Laurence reluctantly takes the man along and tries to help him regain his memories. This act of goodwill turns complicated as the elven man keeps worming himself further into Laurence's heart until it becomes hard to fight the attraction. But the elven man is not what he appears to be... and neither are the dragons from mount Serpentine.

Dark Historical Fantasy | Vampire | Romance | LGBTQ+ Frej was the seer's apprentice. He was supposed to be the link between the gods and his village. But when he was chosen to be sacrificed, he didn't decline. He revelled in being chosen for such an honour; an audience with Freja herself. Except it's not the Norse deity of Love that greets him when he wakes on his sacrificial pyre: it's the Aztec deity of Death; Xipe Totec. After spending a month together in a small cabin, they're in love. Frej is whisked away from Dania to East Anglia, having to leave his Viking ways behind and enter higher society, ruled by politics he's entirely ignorant about. Frej is eager to learn from his lover, but it proves harder than he realised. Having to fight for their relationship, everything is put to the test; Frej's sanity, his humanity, his beliefs and everything he thought he stood for. Giving in to the deity is too easy. Giving in to the night is not, when you're born in fire. ____________ Featured on @WattVampires' March Madness showcase. Featured on @HistoricalFiction's "Historical Fantady/Fairytales" reading list.
