3rd century Rome; The empire is in tatters, the social structure is deteriorating, and the economy is falling apart. Amid a seemingly downhill process, a fourteen-year-old boy named Varius Avitus Bassianus ascends on the throne. History knows him better as Emperor Elagabalus, the young emperor that reigned for only four years.

After having no real claim to the throne and a military coup devised by his grandmother, Julia Maesa, Varius has an unsuccessful reign littered with scandal. From his religious background to his sexual preferences, with each day he is on the throne he becomes loathed more and more by the Roman senate and the empire.

In this alternate historical drama, the story depicts the first four years of Varius' reign with a different outcome. The teenage emperor's life finds a struggle with his power-hungry grandmother in a fight for governmental influence while also dealing with the dirty secrets of his personal life.

Story Description: Maximilian Ashbroune, the spare prince of Ashburn, feels trapped in a life he never chose. While his role as a prince should be one of pride and privilege, Max's greatest struggle is accepting the pressure of his destiny-marriage to a man who will eventually become king. Society expects him to be delicate, soft-spoken, and more feminine because of his attraction to men, but Max defies these expectations. He is a mix of both masculine and feminine traits, unapologetically himself, even though the idea of marriage and everything tied to his sexuality scares him. On the other hand, Alexandros Vareli, the crown prince of Vireli, is comfortable in his role as the future king. Loved by his people and secure in his future, Alex sees marriage as an opportunity for love-a chance to find someone he truly connects with. Even though royal marriages are often arranged by family, Alex believes that love can grow between two people, and he is open to the idea of an arranged marriage, provided there is mutual respect and affection. When their paths cross, both Max and Alex find themselves at a crossroads in their lives. Max's fear of marriage clashes with his growing attraction to Alex, and Alex sees in Max the kind of person he could share his life with. The story follows their journey as they navigate the complexities of their royal duties, their feelings for each other, and the expectations that come with being heirs to their respective kingdoms. Will they find the courage to embrace love, or will their fears and obligations tear them apart?

Perdita just wanted a vacation. Three weeks free of a certain annoying coworker constantly one-upping her. No impossible demands by a boss looking for any excuse to fire her. No nagging from her father and step-witch about when she is going to give them grandchildren like her perfect step-sister. Three weeks of relaxation on a Nile River cruise... But misfortune seems to follow Perdita (could it be because she was named after the tragic Shakespearean character?). Before she can settle into her vacation, Perdita falls into an exhibit on the ship, accidentally touching an ancient relic of unknown origin. Perdita finds herself being transported to ancient Egypt where she is being tried as a criminal... Lucky, or unlucky for her, Mycenaean prince Acacius takes in interest in her, calling her "Helen." He decides to bring her back to Mycenae with him to serve him as his wife. Perdita soon finds herself wrapped up in ancient politics, war, magic, and love... She wanted a vacation... not an adventure... *Some liberties have been taken with dates and historic events. Some changes are explained throughout the story and will make sense as you read... others are to make the timeline fit :)*

Lucius, the less favored twin brother of Prophet Julian, was forced into marrying the Vampire Crown Prince Dorian under his brother's name as part of a truce and subsequently fell in love with his enigmatic husband. After helping Dorian claim the throne and become the first human Royal Consort of the vampire kingdom Eternia, Lucius thought he finally had found his perfect fairytale happy ending. However, his happy-ever-after only lasted several months. After Lucius's treacherous secret mission was exposed, the Royal Consort fell from grace, lost his husband's love and respect, and was imprisoned in the Northern Tower for a year. Everyone in the court was speculating when King Dorian would divorce Lucius and execute him. And just when Lucius thought things couldn't have gone worse than this, fate mocked him once more. One day, Lucius woke up and found himself branded as a human slave and trapped in the worst situation. Once lost all his privileges, he witnessed the true horror and cruelty of a world in which humans were dominated and used as livestock. With the help of a friend, Lucius managed to avoid more severe violations and eventually escaped from Eternia and headed home, however, as someone who was "defiled" by the vampires, he found no welcome, consolation, or even safety back home, either. Would he ever see Dorian again? Would Dorian ever forgive him for his betrayal? And would love find a way in all the hatred, pain and blood of another looming war between humanity and vampires? ******** This is the unedited first draft. This is the sequel to The Vampire Prince's Toxic Consort. You can find it in my profile. However, this book can also be read as stand-alone.

Rose and Swan Boarding School's social heirarchy is disrupted with the arrival of a new student who catches the eye of the star of the hockey team. Can Edward and Gaveston keep their relationship a secret from the malicious student body and faculty? Definitely not. Rose and Swan is a highly religious boarding school nestled deep in the mountains. It's the perfect place to hide, but Edward is about to find out you can't hide from yourself. He had no problem hiding his sexuality, not until Piers Gaveston, his new roommate, shows up. Based loosely on Kit Marlowe's play 'Edward II'. Feels like a teen rom-com. I wrote this as the book I wished I'd had as a teenager, that is to say I wanted it to be a sort of comforting, relatable world, as well as genuinely fun. That said it does follow the basic plot of the play so there are some unsettling scenes. Namely Chapters: 15, and 23 on. (If you think the cover is too gay I assure you it's what Marlowe would have wanted. If you think the book is too gay I PROMISE you, it's what Marlowe would have wanted). Trigger/Content Warning: some graphic violence that may be disturbing to some readers (chapters 21--on, Epilogue is fine). Some teenage sexuality (teenagers kiss, it is implied teenagers have sex, chapter 19 primarily, but all scenes are PG-13 level sensuality). Brief teenage level crude humor. Self harm is discussed throughout (worst depiction in chapter 14). Conversion therapy discussed at length and briefly depicted (Chapter 15). A character suffers from gender dyphoria and is dead-named on page (chapter 20). Graphic violence/torture after Chapter 21. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed.
