Sophie's life is made up of her work (as a manager to classical musicians), her dog, and the fact that she is still in love with Ian, after a decade of on-again, off-again limbo. Then one day Henry VIII (young, gorgeous, "the Tudors" Henry, not the corpulent Henry he would become) shows up imparting wisdom while he's on a mysterious afterlife quest. While the irony of accepting romantic advice from the ghost of a man who managed to marry 6 times and kill 2 of his wives doesn't elude Sophie, she has to admit that he's making some good points, and suddenly things start to look very different.
(This is a draft of a NaNoWriMo novel that I'm in the process of editing. Would love any feedback!)

The Arranged Marriage (The Tudor's Series)
***MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY*** Following the divorce of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII of England continues on his search for a new Queen. Enduring the hatred of his people that once screamed his name out of love and the orders from his Privy Council, Henry's freedom to choose his future Queen is jeopardized when his Chief Minister, Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex, introduces the famous, Lady Anne Boleyn. Desperate for another heir, Henry is clearly blinded by love at the sight of Lady Boleyn. But will Henry's wish for a male heir be granted or will something else catch the King's eye? Read along as you watch the fate of Henry VIII's legacy change forever. Based on the Showtime Series 'The Tudors'. This book will take a slight curvature involving the original series, since my other book 'Long May She Reign' and the rest of the following, tie into the Tudor family. There will be an overlap in a few of the chapters but will mainly focus on the Tudors. Keep in mind this is a FANFIC, this story won't follow Henry's life every step of the way. His last wife won't be mentioned, and the 4th and 5th will be written around the new characters.Complete

Like Fire and Powder (Violent Delights Book 18)
The War of the Roses has ended. After a thirty year power struggle, House Tudor reigns victorious, and Henry VII has crowned himself King of England by right of conquest. This is a final, very bloody revenge for the deaths of his Lancaster cousins during the War of the Roses. Now, Henry has to win the hearts of the people of England, and more importantly that of his future wife, Elizabeth of York, who is the niece of the king Henry just deposed and murdered. Henry has always been much better with numbers and account books than he has charm, much less charming women. And Elizabeth has no intention of being charmed. Both, however, know that the union is in the best interest of the people of England. Enemies to Lovers has never been quite this dramatic. Inspired by the true story of one of the most successful marriages in English history. In all technicality this comes before Son of Prophesy, but that actually explains the War of the Roses whereas this does not go through the whole thing. Trigger/ Content Warning: Bloody violence, survivor's guilt, and sexual assault are all discussed on page. A couple of characters have traumatic flashbacks to past violence. Some suggestive conversations and mildly sexual content. Some brief profanity.Complete

Royal triplets. However, one of whom was kidnapped at birth. Well, what happened to it? That's what we're going to find out. *Note, I will be using some of the names from my SIX fanfic.Complete
Born In Fiction
Being reborn as a witch should have been awesome maybe, if it wasn't for the fact that I was reborn as Bonnie Bennett, the most judgmental, sacrificial character who basically gave up literally EVERYTHING for people who didn't deserve it and treated her like she was a commodity. However, I am not going to do that, I am not her. I won't be bossed around. I won't be used by anyone. I DO NOT OWN THE TVD UNIVERSE. I DO HOWEVER OWN THE RANDOM PLOT TWISTS OR PLOT HOLES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT APPEAR. SHE IS NOT TVD BONNIE, her character and personality WILL BE DIFFERENT.Complete
