Long ago, Vampires, Werewolves, and Dragons dominated Nazra and fought amongst themselves for prey. The land ran with the blood of the fallen and the weak... Until the Reckoning. It's been over eight centuries since the Human race was pushed to the very brink of enslavement and driven far below the earth to live as rats, until a bold move by Queen Lesna took their position from the very bottom of the food chain all the way to its apex. Now, Lesna's descendant, Queen Reyna and her Dracgon-Knights face threats even greater than what Lesna herself did. With the power of the Stars in their grasp and Lesna's sacrificial legacy backing them, the Alabastar Dracgons serving the young Queen Reyna must find a way to ensure the continued human oppression of the other predators of the planet Nazra. Their position atop the throne has been secure since Lesna's reign. Their enemies, however, given time to recover and to plan their revenge, are all too eager to return the humans to the status of prey. To what extremes will they go to once again rise to the top?

Cairo Winterwick is a twelve-year-old boy who grew up with a different perspective than most people. This led him to react slower, act strangely and blurt things out of norm. Not only does he see the world differently, he also unknowingly makes friends with human's greatest fear. Although Aureous Empire is no stranger to abnormalities like Scripts-the power to manipulate elements, and Deviants-the man-devouring creatures of the Stygean Realm, Cairo Winterwick's strangeness is one of a kind. With the weakening of the empire's Light and the growing threats from the Stygean Realm, the forever darkened world, Cairo will have to find his stand between the two worlds, and make a choice that will decide the outcome of countless lives and the balance between Light and Darkness.

Modern society collapses within moments of an invasion of mythical proportions. Demon clans, cultists, demon hunters, and even plain survivors form fractured factions and alliances in their desperate struggle for power. Nations cleaved asunder, families shattered, and lovers torn apart. Damian Anderson is more than just a survivor. He is a warrior who has spent the last three years on the trail of the woman he lost. The journey has been treacherous and his battles harsh, but Damian marches on, determined to cultivate the power to defy the mightiest demons and their warlords. The Windham Shield is a ragtag resistance group that lies on the outskirts of the cultist controlled city-state Aegis. Battered and teetering on the edge of utter defeat, the Shields are outmatched, outnumbered, and outgunned by the Barakhan cultists who wish to enforce their demonic gospel. Damian stumbles across a squad of Shields on the brink of being overrun by demons and rescues them. Damian becomes the long-needed sword of the Shields, and gives them what they need most. A fighting chance. The Barakhan however, will permit no such heresy, and will go to any extremes necessary to crush the Shields and their new sword.

The Cleaner is the first entry in the Franklin saga. --------------- Welcome to Franklin: a city in full. Grace and pettiness, ambition, despair. Threats. Hunger. Heroism. Six sorts of love.

He ran into her at street theater. She was a force of nature, not a casual first time hire. She brought the house down with her performance, literally pulled the audience to their feet in standing ovation. Her performance was too real, unnerving, deeply unsettling to him. He spent all his energy keeping up with her. At the end of the play, she snatched her earnings from the director's hands and ran away, leaving a trail of questions behind her, the most burning one in his mind was: Would he ever see her again? ____________________ This ongoing novel imagines a world that our younger generations inherit after a series of successive presidencies in the same vein as the current model. There is no need for erecting walls, as the biggest divide created by humanity - that of social class - takes care of a post modern segregation. The poor are literally marginalized into slum-like townships and tend to be of color. The names of these townships would be enough to tell you their story. The rich, well, remain happily oblivious in the big American cities. In this world find a mysterious girl whose identity must be hidden or she would be hunted down and a young street actor who falls for her intrigue. Discover how they survive, born into a society not prepared to give them a chance. For them, the dystopia came without an apocalypse.

"Love me or hate me, both are in my favor..." Kayla was 9 days old when her father promised her to Damian, who was 18 months old when his father promised he'd be a suitable husband. The problem with this engagement: The natural right to find a mate, a bond that is deep and sacred, has been robbed from them by their own parents for pack politics. Everything about the arrangement screams bad blood and ill fate. "If you love me, I'll always be in your heart..." The alpha's attempted, through the marriage of their heirs, to force their packs into a peaceful union. But love can never be forced, it must be chosen. As the two come of age and resist, tensions between the packs burst. The dreaded hunters, who prowl the night looking for supernatural beings of myth and legend, begin to take notice. Within it all, there are wolves who want nothing but a good, bloody, fight; and the arrangement provides the sweet scent of opportunity and war. "If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind..."
