From a young age we are told of the Ferryman. We are taught to fear him, to beware, lest we must pay him his due, but what of his wife?
On a beautiful summer day, Kathy and Andre head out of the city for a day-trip to wine country. Life had been hectic and they were looking forward to some time to themselves. About to leave, they hear a report of an accident closing the highway, meaning they would have to take the scenic route and the ferry. This small change in the day will force Andre to face his fear of water and the young couple into a showdown they won't soon forget.

The Darkest Of Days
Adrian's life was ordinary-until it wasn't. One moment, he's enjoying a day at the waterfront with his closest friends. The next, they're gone-snatched away by a black van, swallowed into silence. Waking up in a cold, medieval-like prison, Adrian quickly realizes this isn't a random kidnapping. Something far more sinister is at play. Twisted experiments. Cryptic messages. Creatures lurking in the shadows. As they fight to survive, the truth behind their captivity begins to unravel-one horrifying piece at a time. Betrayals. Secrets. A fate worse than death. Some nightmares don't end when you wake up. Will Adrian and his friends escape? Or will they become part of something far darker than they ever imagined?

Fated
****COMPLETED**** "You're driving me crazy," I growled, dropping my hand down to her waist then around to her lower back, sucking her earlobe into my mouth and dragging my teeth along it. She groaned and dropped her head back against the wall. Her sounds were intoxicating. I could smell how much she was responding to me and it brought my need for her out even more. I cupped her cheek and brought my lips over to hers, just barely brushing against them. "Addie," I whispered against her mouth, threading my hand through her hair. ... Addie has been abducted and thrown into the supernatural world. She discovers vampires have kidnapped her to manipulate an Alpha werewolf. Not just any werewolf, her mate. Or so the guy in the cell next to her says. Problem is, they've underestimated her because she's human. She's going to show them how much damage a human can do.

The Witch's Mates
I am just about to turn around and head down the alley toward the street when I see two shadows step away from the wall a little farther down from where I am standing. I can't see any features, but I can guess from their statures that they are both men. I don't know what species they are though, but given that they just witnessed me kill a vampire I decide it's time to get the hell out of here. At least they aren't blocking my path to the street. Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated. So while they try to rebuild their population and plan their revenge, they take out as many supernaturals as they can. But everything changes for Willow when she meets Keaton, Everett, Aizen, and Devlin. *** *This is a fantasy reverse-harem romance novel. It will have mature themes, including but not limited to, violence, sexual themes, sexual scenes (including light BDSM), abuse, and mentions of rape. Please do not read if you feel uncomfortable with any of these things or if you feel they will be harmful to your mental health.Complete
