Empires rise and crumble...all in a Monday morning.
When Jill's husband Malcolm beats her in a race to the shower on a dull week-day morning, she anticipates another lecture from her boss on the importance of being on time. She doesn't anticipate Malcolm to come sprinting back into the bedroom 15 seconds later, claiming he's spent the last 1000 years in another dimension.
Now, he's ready to take her back with him.
Before she's even rubbed the sleep from her eyes, Jill finds herself stranded on the shores of the mysterious Kingdom of Lentempia, alone. With only a cryptic note and a young villager to guide her, she sets out on a journey to reunite with Malcolm and return home. But Lentempia is a dangerous place, plagued with conflict and threatening to break into a full-scale revolution. Jill will need to choose her friends carefully from a colorful cast of characters, including a fallen prince hell-bent on revenge, a quick-witted bard that can change his voice like the wind, and a nihilistic priest with a mysterious power. Her choices of whom to trust could be the difference between life and death.
But the biggest danger of all could be her own husband.
Ageless contains occasionally harsh language.

Night Disease
REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom, except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombie-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

TOTAL Compatibility (Preview)
Behind the Barrier, Jillian's life is tidy enough: follow orders, keep the illusion of peace intact-and, in theory, fix her personal life, which remains an ongoing disaster. That is, until things stop making sense-and she starts recognizing faces she's never met. Her job? Eliminate the creatures that slip through from the Astral. Easy enough-until one of them, a charming bastard who calls himself a Wishmaster, starts slipping into her dreams and peeling back her defenses like he's done it before. Maybe he has. Then there's her new partner: engineered by OptiMate to be her perfect match, tailored to her needs with unsettling precision, and wearing a face that feels just a little too familiar. And maybe that's not a coincidence either. As reality unravels and memories begin surfacing in all the wrong places, Jillian starts to wonder if the real threat isn't what lurks beyond the Barrier-but what's already rewriting her from the inside. A blend of sharp-edged romance, warped memory, and twisted magic-for readers who love stories where love feels wrong, the past refuses to stay buried, and the truth hits like a sucker punch.

Turing Test

But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesComplete
