It's not easy being an eldritch abomination in the 21st century, and when Monroe is kidnapped by strangely dressed and weirdly upfront government agents on a rainy September night, the whole thing becomes that much more complicated. For one, Monroe has never heard the term "eldritch abomination" before, which makes being referred to as such by the aforementioned kidnappers that much more confusing.
Pulled into a web of conspiracies that envelop all of society, and the machinations of the agency that tries to keep the machinery oiled, Monroe is given a choice: co-operate using those particular eldritch abilities, or be killed.
Only one problem. Monroe has no idea what they're talking about.

Monroe Taylor: The Half-Blood Prince and the Secrets of the Never Realms.
On the night of his sixteenth birthday, Monroe Taylor discovers the truth his father has hidden his whole life-he is the forbidden son of a Psionic princess and a mortal, the half-blood named in an ancient prophecy. When shadow assassins descend on his home, Monroe is thrust into the Never Realms and sent to Blackstone Academy, where rival magical covens train side by side-and where his powers refuse to follow the rules. Struggling to control psionic, elemental, shadow, and transmutation magic all at once, Monroe becomes a living paradox. Some see him as hope, others as disaster waiting to happen. The council whispers of a prophecy that promises unity or destruction, and enemies circle, determined to stop him before he can discover which. As secrets unravel, Monroe must navigate treacherous politics, forbidden histories, and the constant threat of betrayal. The Boundary Stones-ancient artifacts capable of draining entire covens-resurface in dangerous hands, and the balance of the realms hangs on a knife's edge. Hunted, doubted, and torn between destiny and choice, Monroe must decide if he will become the weapon everyone fears-or the bridge the realms never believed could exist. Because in a world divided by magic and bloodlines, one half-blood prince could tip everything toward salvation...or ruin. [The book is finished, going through editing. I'm looking to publish in stores and online soon. I probably won't post the whole book on here just the first half. I hope you enjoy reading.]

Bad Date With An Old God
Hey, folks, first time poster. Below is a short story of mine. It's a little bit of a love letter to the slasher genre and video game I play. It's been a very long time since I've written a single word (25) years and it took an old friend to re-spark the dream. Anyway, this was practice for me to.....I guess find a voice, get some words down, see where it went. I mean, it's garbage, but that's okay. I think it went well for what it is. IDK, you tell me. All feedback welcome.Complete
