Heart of Stone
To make ends meet now that her husband has died in combat, Patrice accepts the only job going in the small town-backbreaking work picking fruit for the local farmer. When the farmer asks Patrice to move the cows into the lower field, she thinks nothing of it until one cow decides to go on an adventure through the wrong gate. After moving the cow, Patrice notices a glowing gem in the long grass. Patrice decides that it has to be returned to its owner and assumes that the shadowy figure in the distance is that person. Transfixed by the stone and its magical powers, Patrice chases after the mysterious figure, forgetting about the world behind her. The true owner is Jarek, a merciless elf king who has little time for the games that the crystal is playing. Jarek's plans for returning to his world after the battle to save the humans in their global war are thrown into disarray when he realises that the stone will not return to him. Jarek has no choice but to do everything within his power to get it back. Without the crystal, he will die. One small stone will cause chaos for Jarek and Patrice when it binds itself to her and refuses its rightful owner. Determined to get his crystal back, Jarek takes Patrice to his world. He knows that the clerics will have an answer. Neither Jarek nor Patrice will be pleased with what they offer. With time running out, they must do what is necessary to save a king with no heir. © This story is copyrighted.

Legend of Kataria (Draft Version)
Sometimes the world as we know it is not at all what it seems... The world of Griffion is out of control, submerged in a desperate war which it can never hope to win. Griffionites and Tapushians alike tire of the fighting and look to a long forgotten prophecy to end the conflict. A group of warriors, gifted with magical abilities, destined to end the fighting, a world long hidden, and a secret that might just destroy them all... Green Bush has never been anything but the nerdy geek his whole life, due to his smaller size, large glasses, and nerdy disposition. Orphaned since birth, he feels no deep connection to anyone and only cares for a handful of individuals. He certainly has no interest in the war or any sort of prophecy. But destiny has other plans and, when danger comes knocking, his life--and the lives of his friends--are put in jeopardy. Now, he will be forced to leave behind everything he's ever known, fulfill the prophecy, and become a hero the galaxy could never have predicted. The truth has been hidden for years, but not even the best of intentions can be kept from the light forever, and the only thing left to lose is everything.

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
