In the bitter winter of 1937-1938, war between a fractured China and a bellicose Japan is spilling across the continent. Shanghai is on the verge of capitulation to advancing Japanese forces after weeks of brutal urban warfare. As the days progress , the writing is on the wall: Nanjing is the next domino to fall, and the twenty-year-old Wang Wei, an awkward, but extremely intelligent student studying at National Central University, finds himself stuck in an increasingly deteriorating situation, where rations are running out, refugees flood into the cramped capital, and the echoing of Japanese boots grow ever louder.
In the midst of Wang crafting his own plan to rendezvous with his father in Chongqing, he is approached by his former mentor Li Quang detailing a plot to escape the city via his sampan to British Hong Kong. The shaking of hands as equals cements Wang's role in the plot. However, as the plot to escape Nanjing is in its final stages, Wang Wei encounters Amelia Smith, a prospective, nineteen-year-old British nurse volunteering at the behest of the League of Nations. As the world grows ever more chaotic around them, the two find solace in each other, and a romantic bond begins to blossom between the two.
With the journey beyond the capital beginning to unfold, Wang Wei is forced to face his first real dilemma: will he flee with Amelia to Hong Kong and live safely with her, or will he have to leave her behind to find his father?

Weigh Out Way-In
There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)Complete
Dreamscape One: Freedom. Fate. Fall. | ORE BOUND FANTASY SERIES
In a fractured superhuman dystopia, danger awaits. Alyia McCoy never asked to be special, but the government sees her "dormant healing abilities" as something they can exploit. If awakened, her ore could restore life itself... or make her their most dangerous weapon. Chris Wong, a prodigy amongst their generation and Alyia's closest friend, has always been her anchor. Their slow-burning connection simmers beneath the surface. When the regime sets its sights on Alyia, their bond is put to the ultimate test. Kidnapping. Traps. Torture. The government will stop at nothing to claim her. Meanwhile, far beyond their partial earth, across blackholes, Dreamscape's divine hierarchy trembles. A feared yet formidable deity, Ahirman, is struck down by a blade laced with dark matter! One that could end him unless he accepts a mere mortal to be his healer. But crossing worlds and cutting warping voids comes at a cost, and Alyia may be the only one who can pay it. Lines blur and desire turn dark, one question remains: Will Alyia survive long enough to choose her own fate, or will she become the very weapon she fears? Dreamscape is a pulsating blend of slow-burn romance, dark sci-fi fantasy, and smoldering heat, perfect for fans of morally grey characters, high stakes, and worlds where love might just be the most dangerous power of all.

Orphaned at the age of six he has little idea of his origin. He is unlucky as well. He hasn't received his first heat even at the age of twenty. It hides the fact by pretending to be in heat every month. He uses alcohol to raise his body temperature and masking so called pheromones he can never release. He has been doing that since he was twelve. He is sent to Gusu Academy as a transfer student along with his clueless adoptive alpha brother. On his first night he finds a TA whose pheromones trigger his first heat. In the morning he wakes up marked and in a strange cave, begging for what he knows not. They spend three days in the cave but outside the man refuses to recognize him. Lan Zhan knew that he was a ticking time bomb. He came from a line of feral alphas who controlled themselves through three thousand rules and a spelled headband. But the spell on his headband was unable to keep his alpha in check.
