The Forbidden Rhapsody
You think you know all the stories: the names of Kings and the faces of Gods. You re-enacted the battles in child's play and imagined the monsters that made you sweat cold at night. Yet these fantasies were but shadows gasping in the darkness - distorted, fragmented memories forbidden by the Gods. The time has come to unveil the age of heroes and creatures, when defiance for the sake of glory or love left trails of ruin and waste. It was the age when minds awakened from the shadows of Olympus to face the retribution of the Gods, and Earth was the playground of the immortals.Complete

A Rule That Never Breaks
Ever since Paige was little, she's been able to see people's sorrow like a cloud hanging over their heads. Now it's coming in pretty handy in her job. Which is saving the world, obviously. Paige has never really belonged. Growing up in the foster system in Chicago would have been hard enough without seeing everyone's pain like a never-ending storm. It was better to be alone than to deal with that. But Ari, a student in her Classics class, is different. And when the roof of their classroom inexplicably comes crashing down, he tells her why. They're both distant descendants of the Greek gods. And the gods are angry. After millennia of being ignored and relegated to history books and Disney movies, the gods of Mount Olympus are wreaking havoc on earth as punishment for man's hubris. Ari and Paige travel to the mystical lands of Olympus to try the only thing you really can't do. Kill the gods.Complete

The Minoan Rhapsody
Olympus had no foresight, clouded by the chaos created by their own. As they struggled from within, the Minoans rose to power. You think you know their stories: King Minos, the Minotaur's labyrinth and the legend of Icarus. To you, they are children's tales. The Minoans, also known as the Keiftu, were real, and they were the first people to challenge the Gods. They would fail, but not because of Olympian intervention. The seeds of their undoing rooted deep below the foundation of their capitol city: Knossos. This is the story of how a boy became King, how he built an empire. This is the tale of Olympus and how the Gods' feuds brought doom and despair, turning an empire to rubble.Complete
The Fall of Icarus (Book 1 in the Apollo series)
"The wind in his hair felt nice. It was cooling against the sun and wax that had been burning his back. It reminded him of every moment he sat alone on the window ledge of Minos' tower, praying for some kind of deliverance. Yet, it also reminded him of every moment he sat on the window ledge next to Apollo; he remembered the feeling of Apollo's soft fingers running through his hair, he could remember the feeling of his head against Apollo's chest, listening to his heartbeat. In those moments, he almost felt human." * For a long time, Icarus thought he was alone. Until one night, the world showed him he wasn't. #1st place in the Hip Generation Awards #2nd place in the lgbt category of the Creator's Choice Awards 2020 #1st place in the Atlas Awards 2021 LGBTQ+ categoryComplete
