Four adventurers
One goal: Make tons of gold and kick ass while doing it.
A tiefling, a Dragonborn, a half elf, and a half orc. These four outcasts meet under a dire set of circumstances, but they all share a similar goal:
Find the innkeeper and take the highest job she had for them. Upon entering the inn, they spoke to Heidi, the innkeeper. She explained that she would pay them handsomely if they could kill the monster lurking in the caves high up on the nearby Mount Malicious. They agree, unaware of the perilous journey they had gotten themselves into. Will they survive? Will they become friends? Or will this monster prove to be too much for them? Find out in The Catastrophic Crusade.

The Unknown Quest (Book One of The Horns of Elfland)
Thousands of years ago, one of Sherath's distant ancestors refused to take on a quest. The task has to be done - it's vitally important - but nobody knows exactly what it is. Their race is dying out, and time is running out; and until Sherath comes into his full powers, he can't do it anyway. They have been waiting three hundred years for the saviour spoken of in an ancient prophecy to lead them on a long journey to adulthood and open the doors for them. But their saviour, and the key to success, turns out to be a volatile teenager from modern-day Earth. Sherath has hundreds of years of education in how to use the Power he will have as an adult, with little access to it as yet. Farinka, on the other hand, has access to vast amounts of Power, but no training in how to use it, what can and can't be done, and what is dangerous to try!Complete

The Firelands
A vampire raised by humans, an OCD elf, a hyper active werewolf and a grumpy angel have six months to reach a forsaken realm called The Firelands (formerly The Dragon Realm). Should be simple right? Its not like they have a group of hunters of their tail, have to find four mostly-unhelpful dragons and, in general, don't get along with each other. Nah, this will be easy. Can't be that hard to escape the goblin tunnels. A giant who fancies himself a chef can't be that much of a threat. And they certainly don't almost kill each other on one very awkward night in a vampire city. What could possibly go wrong? All Kalen, Zedkiel, Incendio and Theth have to do is survive the journey of a lifetime and see that they live long enough fix a realm that Fate gave up on fifty years ago. And Lady Fate is on their side right? .... Right?Complete
The Prison Realm

When a sickness starts to spread among her fellow slaves, it will only be a matter of time before they all get sick and left for dead. She can't afford to play it safe anymore. If she can find the right sucker to buy her, she might be able to escape and free everyone. Garin'thar has been living among his fellow orc tribesmen raiding nomads in the Prison Realm. When he finds an undeniable human for sale he suddenly decides that maybe he can have the wholesome domestic life he's secretly always wanted. He has no idea what Rosa has in store from him, and she has no idea what Garin'thar is willing to do to keep her.
The Island
Monsters and mythical creatures are real. They are very real indeed, as well as magic. We just can't see it... There is an island on our world, one where they roam and have their own sophisticated society, mostly keeping to themselves. Mostly. One of these creatures is named Bianca. She has to travel to where the humans live, that's where she gets her food. One day, she goes in for the kill like normal, but can't continue. On the way home, she kept asking herself over and over again, "Why couldn't I kill him?" After realizing she has fallen for him, she returns to her hunting spot. Only this time he's waiting... - This story is finally completed after a year of writing! Enjoy! :)) (Sorry, it takes a few chapters to get into but I promise it's worth it!!) This book can also be classified as a fantasy novel. Warning: this book contains descriptions of sexual harassment and some language. Read at own risk. -Complete
The Misfits and the Devourer
In a world teetering on the edge of ruin, a Tiefling who has escaped the shadows of the Underdark seeks redemption-and the chance to prove himself worthy of the title "hero." But in a land where prejudice runs deep and darkness stirs, the path to heroism is far from simple. Joined by a band of unlikely companions-a hulking Minotaur with more strength than sense, a hapless human wizard, a druid plagued by a phobia of animals, and a Goliath bard who prefers ballads to brawls-he is thrust into a perilous quest. Their mission? Recover an ancient staff forged by the gods before a sinister secret society can unleash a primordial force known only as the Devourer, a being older than existence itself. Their journey will take them through treacherous ruins, oppressive towns under imperial control, and cosmic battlegrounds where reality bends. Along the way, they'll face fierce battles, puzzling challenges, and eccentric foes, from flamboyant pirate captains to pompous noble adventurers. As the stakes rise and bonds are forged, this ragtag group of misfits may be the world's last hope-if they can survive long enough to become the heroes they were never meant to be.Complete
