The Bane of the Titans
The gods of the ancient Mediterranean Sea, find themselves cornered when their predecessors return from the farthest depths of the underworld. Now cornered, the deities rely on the few remaining demi-gods to defend the world against its usurpers. I wrote this story back in 2012, when I was still in grade 10, with the intention of one day publishing it. However, with the release of the Percy Jackson series, my dreams of publishing this story shattered. My writing career then transitioned into a lot more writing and experiencing life, which means when I look back on this story, I look back on it with pride. Pride in the amount I have grown as a writer and as a person. So please love this story, for all its misguided morals, poor writing techniques, and littered mistakes because we all start somewhere.Complete

She's both beautiful and intelligent, two traits that most people don't think go together. As she grows up, she's envied, pitied, and bullied by her older sisters. Then, when she comes of age, she's told that in order to save her beloved homeland from destruction, she must marry a monster. She agrees and embarks on a journey that will take her from the highest peaks of Mt. Olympus to the depths of hell and into the arms of a young man that doesn't seem like a monster.Complete
The Love of Aphrodite - Book 1
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty is forced into an unwanted marriage the very evening she emerges from the sea. While Hephaestus is not terrible to her, she can't help but be enticed by his forbidden brother, Ares, and the other Gods who send her longing glances. Will she settle for Hephaestus or will she search for more for her own love story? *This story follows along some of Aphrodite's romances while married to Hephaestus. This story will not be a perfect timeline but will however, follow along a rough timeline according to my other book, Hades and Persephone.* *Also, Aphrodite has her faults. A fair amount of faults in fact! If you know her mythology she turns out to be a very vengeful, self-centred, and self-involved Goddess, but this story is all about her slowly progressing throughout her marriage to Hephaestus. A sequel will follow beyond once this marriage ends.* *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete
