When the alien symbiote Harlequin landed in Maxi's lap to grace her with tentacles and teleportation, she/they realized that they could be a superhero. She had to try it at least once, and she had a problem that they needed to solve; a viciously corrupt, stupidly sociopathic cop named Nathan Monroe.
Together, they discover that it's a lot harder to deal with people like Monroe when you don't enjoy killing people.

My Fucked Up Fairytale
TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: When college student Cyra finds her life falling apart after a brutal breakup, she wishes for an escape-only to awaken in a realm filled with sword-wielding vampires, deadly elves, and more fantastical creatures. Unfortunately for Cyra, she's been chosen to marry a powerful vampire prince... and kill him. Trapped between survival and a dagger with a destiny, she must navigate a world where fairytales come soaked in blood, sarcasm, and forbidden attraction.

DISCONTINUED Crave (A Tale of Sensual Metamorphosis)
"I wish I could tell you what I am. Some would say a fairy, a forest nymph, a mermaid, or even a demon. It's doesn't matter. All I know is that I'm not from this earth or even this universe. I didn't even know how I got here. Neither did Matthew, who graciously took me in. All I know is that I have an appetite that isn't satiated by any mortal food nor matter how delicious. What I 'Crave' takes the form the people around me. From the moment I was first "touched" by 'him' my body began to change and transform. I didn't think anything of it until things became even more dark and strange. Almost like the people and their energy determine how I transform. Either way I can't avoid their touch. No matter how dangerous it may be. Only a matter of time before everything comes to an end...." "A tale of sensual metamorphosis." *TW* Sexual Situations, Sexual Assault, Violence, Death, Horror, and Disturbing Situations *TW*Complete

The Gory Details (Gross)
Between 2004 and 2008 I wrote a series of "Tips for Writers" for Nocturnal Ooze magazine vaguely about what would happen in real life if you did the things they do in movies but mostly about the gross out. I've always loved them and so have taken them out of mothballs for a new audience here on wattpad. They're all here except for #13 which seems to have vanished. I've also left them mostly intact except for a few very dated references that have been updated. I own the rights to the articles and Queen Mum of the Ooze, Kay Patterson has allowed me to keep the name "Gore Monger" (which she owns) provided I write: The Gore Monger appears courtesy of Nocturnal Ooze.

Super•Villainous
"I've been looking for you." There was an unexpected rasp to his voice, a hint of desperation. He stretched out one hand, as if to brush it across my cheek, or perhaps wrap it around my throat. Oddly enough, I didn't know which option frightened me more. *+*+*+* Lily Burdett has an unfortunate gift for getting herself into tricky situations, but her luck is especially bleak the day she finds herself in the destructive path of the city's premier supervillain. When he grabs ahold of her, she reacts without thinking and stabs him twice in the shoulder, only surviving the encounter thanks to a nearby hero who intervenes on her behalf. Unfortunately, her villain vows to get even. Everywhere she turns, he's there, and with each bizarre encounter more doubts fill her head as to his true intentions. *enemies to lovers/slowburnComplete
