The year is 1947 and Amerika is still riding high after the second great war, but in the soot-stained alleys of Crescent City, victory's just a word. In this smoke-choked metropolis, something darker is stirring. When ex-soldier Delaney Blackwood-part-time drunk-full-time gumshoe, takes a job from a dubious dame, he figures it's nothing more than a payday and a hangover cure. What he finds instead could crack the sky wide open. The job? Track down a lost book. The catch? Everyone who touches it ends up dead... or worse. Because this book isn't just rare-it's dangerous. And if it falls into the wrong hands, the next war won't be between nations. It'll be between realms. Blackwood has glimpsed what hides in shadow, dreamt with madmen and mystics, and lived through what has shattered greater minds. Now, for the first time since his disappearance, the world is invited into his casefiles. AUTHOR'S NOTE: At this point, the full story is yet unpublished, and I'm currently looking to bring it to a wider audience. Please feel free to leave a comment, vote, or introduce yourself. I would love to hear from you!

Exciting news update - HAWK is in the very early stages of being adapted into an animated TV show! Please make sure to stick around and add this story to your shelves for upcoming announcements. Thanks so much for your support :) Kas Balera is used to a bit of chaos. As a space bounty hunter, capturing three Class-2 criminals should have been the most difficult part of her week, but when a disaster of epic proportions rocks the entire solar system, Kas is thrust into the midst of an adventure far beyond her wildest fantasies. With the help of a federal robot, a child genius, and her trusty ship - the Calista - Kas must use all her quick thinking and sharp wit if she's going to stay alive and uncover the new dark and dangerous mysteries of the galaxy. Pursued by evil X1 robots, bio-mech panthers and astral police officers, even Kas's kick-ass fight training and expert piloting can't seem to stop the entire galaxy from going after her. * Wattys Shortlisted * * Highest ranking: #1 in Science-fiction * Thanks to @CAPTAINSARCASTIC101 for helping with the blurb.

Follow Ren, a siren forged in the Realm of Hell, as she struggles with the ever-growing boredom of eternal life. She has long since passed the frantic and unsure days hiding in the dark, foreboding forests of early Europe, hoping for a mortal to stray close enough to hear her song. Now, with enough hoarded life energy to last centuries without a meal, she roams the streets of the modern world. Towering cities are her hunting ground, her prey endless, but still she hungers for more.
