Wild Magic Four: The Light Beyond Constellations- a M/M fantasy romance
*****COMPLETE***** GRIFFIN- My original escape plan had hinged on tricking a guard, and I had picked River on first sight. Until I realized who he was to me. I never wanted a mate, never wanted to have to rely on another that way, but I've found that I haven't been given much of a choice. On my own, bouncing from one group of evil men to another since the moment I was able to leave the wretched woman who raised me- a curse on her name- I never expected to find my mate while imprisoned for the only crime I didn't commit, in a land not my own, and with my bear bound and gagged. I never expected to find my mate in fierce, flirtatious, gorgeous River. Kind and gracious with a sweet heart and a habit of wearing pretty things that had my bear sitting up and taking notice, River was made for me, and I for him. He was also the man whose sole responsibility it was to guard my cell and keep me from escaping. RIVER- I've fallen in love too many times, and had my heart broken just as often. But this time, with Griffin, the man who swears he's innocent of trying to harm the Emperor, but guilty of every other crime I can think of, I feel... safe. Safe and loved and cared for. Since learning of wild mages and their mates, I've had a desire to have that kind of love. That devotion and pure need that I've seen in the eyes of the men around me. I thought I was safe with him, as his mate, but his betrayal... I'm not sure I'll survive this heartbreak. I'm not sure I'll be able to move past the soul-tearing, heart-rending realization that nothing is as I thought it was. That maybe, as much as I love him, Griffin never saw me as more than the man who held the keys to his cage. ***** The Light Beyond Constellations is a M/M bear shifter fantasy romance and is the fourth and last in the Wild Magic Series, though the Strange Magics Series is linked. Each book can be read as a standalone, but they're best read in order, if only to keep from spoilers :) *****Complete
Unbreakable smile
"You can't even say her name out loud. You know what that reminds me of? Freaking Voldemort." Feliciano thinks of what people said after That Night. What they still are saying. He stands. Jamie looks like he wants to take the words back. "Love-" "Don't talk about her like that," he says. "In this house, we will not talk about her like that. It's enough that the rest of the world does." --- When Feliciano is seventeen, his best friend is accused of murder. Before he can wrap his head around it, she leaves town and cuts all ties. He's left heartbroken, with a million questions. The rest of the village is convinced that they stay in touch, that he supports a child killer. The mob isn't interested in whether it's actually true. They just want vengeance. Ten years later, she returns to a cottage in a nearby forest. Feliciano - and the rest of the village - have a lot of feelings about this. Maybe it would be easier to ignore her return, if it wasn't causing him to lose everything he has.Complete

All Avery wants is a normal and peaceful life living out in the woods in his cozy little cabin and his outdoor swimming pool. But the fates have something else in store.

Ayn's Healing
Ayn is a witch with healing powers. Shapeshifters have killed her parents and the only animals she cannot speak with are wolves. When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hiComplete
Weigh Out Way-In
There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)Complete

When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too.
