Gutwrenching Stories

Kalyani was never anyone's first choice. At eighteen, in Mumbai that has already quietly decided her worth, she is given to a man who does not want a wife - only someone to fill the silence his grief left behind. Set in 1840s Maharashtra, this is the story of a woman who asked for nothing, was promised nothing, and still found ways to love - a house that wasn't hers, children that weren't hers, a life that was never quite hers. The question is not whether Kalyani endures. It is what endurance costs a person. And whether anyone will notice before the price becomes too high.

Reviews for Birthright: @Finnyh "Birthright's uniqueness, quality, and authenticity are what set it apart. A piece to indulge every fan of horror, historical fiction, and Southern Gothic themes. Ian delivers a compelling story about a family curse through the ages, all the while keeping up a sinister tone and the 'feel' of a different time and place. Ian's Deep South horrors will never fail to entrance and haunt me." @rosaimee "Ambience and tone are incredibly well weaved, in that it's both terrifying and beautiful. With each chapter it grows in complexity, and a solid backdrop enriches the plot." @LynnS13 "Birthright goes to the heart of Southern Gothic. It understands that pace is all when it comes to this special breed of horror. It doesn't boil over or spill; it simmers and goes skin deep."

In 14th century Byzantine, Bartolomea Acciaioli lives a life carved from silence, silk and sorrow. Born into nobility but bound by duty, she longs for freedom, love, and the warmth of a world beyond palace walls. When Georgios Phokas - her childhood love and forbidden flame - returns from war, their reunion sparks a fragile hope. But fate, politics, and plague conspire to tear them apart. As the empire crumbles and her family fractures, Bartolomea is forced into a marriage that feels more like a funeral. Her body becomes a battleground, her voice a ghost, and her soul a prayer whispered into the dark. Through letters, visions, and the quiet ache of a memory. Bartolomea clings to the love that once saved her - and the child that may never be born. A Byzantine Sacrifice is a tragic, spiritual, and emotionally devastating tale of forbidden love, martyrdom, and the quiet strength of a woman who was never meant to survive- but she did, until she couldn't.

speak up

Love. A feeling we are all capable of. We all need. As humans, we have this constant urge to surround ourselves with love. I never had that urge. Maybe I should rephrase that. I never had that opportunity. So I never wanted love. From family. From friends. Too busy on the run, from one town to the next. Never getting the chance to find love. This story isn't just a love story, if that's what you were expecting. It's not even a story. It's a wound. A wound that starts off open but becomes so much more than an open wound. It becomes a wound that's been salted and mutilated. A wound that couldn't be stitched, but needed to be accepted. This is my way of accepting it, now I'm making my first step. Opening the wound.

Why do we fall in love with the wrong person?

Two enemies intertwined, hate at first sight. Roommates who fought ever since they met yet deep inside they very much cared for each other. Little did they know their arguments would end up creating such horrible and gut wrenching moments for them, making them wish they had more time together.

Her home life has always been rough with her mother never being home unless bringing another man home, or if she needed a place to stay for the night, which wasn't often. Then her dad was a whole different story.
