Kai Fortole is a young Magician born to a narcissistic, self-proclaimed King and a precognitive yet secretive mother. Tossed out of his family home at the age of ten and forced to live an isolated life below ground, Kai was promptly put on a path he never chose: to become the next King of a city renowned for its brutality. But an innocent child cannot rule, nor can someone without strength. As such, his father, Caville, begins creating a King out of Kai through perilous training spanning seven long years.
It is at this point the story begins, with a thoroughly beaten Kai still believing every lie his father tells him. Only when he fails to complete one of Caville's inscrutable tests does it dawn on him that his father is not an honourable man, but an exploitative one. And if Caville doesn't help others without benefitting in return, then the question must be asked: what does he gain by shaping Kai into a formidable and powerful King?
In the world of Divided, magic is a tangible power which can be stolen from the corpse of a Magician. Caville has not spent the last seven years strengthening and fathering Kai, but the magic within his body. And now that his magic is strong, Caville plans on harvesting the fruits of his labour by taking what he believes to be rightfully his: Kai's magic, and subsequently, Kai's life.
Obviously Kai does not wish to die, and thankfully his mother shares the same notion. Peyanne Fortole cherishes Kai above all else, even going so far as to defy Caville if it means keeping Kai alive. Walking meticulously on both sides of the family dispute, she carefully manipulates Caville while gently nudging Kai towards freedom, though never offers to divulge what the cost of attaining it may be.
Divided is a 90,000-word high-fantasy novel that is part of a planned trilogy. Any feedback would be appreciated as this piece is something I cherish and wish to perfect for it is my first attempt at a full sized novel and, subsequently, a series.

The Mistress' Revenge | 18+
I felt his fingers move within me once more, slipping out only to be replaced by two, then three. His wedding ring gleamed in the dim light, slick with my heat-a silver shackle marked by my pleasure. "Do you like seeing that?" his voice was rough against my neck. "Do you like knowing my wife is waiting at home while you mark me?" "I want her to see it on you," I whispered. "I want her to taste me on your skin." _______ The night before her wedding, Esmeralda Bertillon lost everything. Her fiancé, her best friend, and something she never got the chance to tell anyone about. Daniella moved on, married well, and built a life on the wreckage she left behind. So Esmeralda did what any woman with nothing left to lose would do. She went after the husband. Sebastian Vayne was never supposed to be a man. He was supposed to be a weapon-the perfect instrument of a revenge three years in the making. But he is not what she expected, and that is the most dangerous thing about him. What grows between them in silence and secrets is a beautiful, terrifying mistake. With the traps closing in from all sides, Esme must decide what she actually wants - the revenge she came for, or the man who was never part of the plan.

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy)
As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist. A fight for her loved ones. A fight for the oppressed. A fight to save the remaining good in Naturian. The chains have been released. Now the real fight begins.Kumpleto
The Rise of Raven (18+) ☑
(Steamy) This is a standalone spin off from the Distorted Windows Trilogy. You do not have to read them first but is recommended. THIS IS AN EROTIC ROMANCE! IT IS RECOMMENDED 18+ for vulgar language, very explicit sex scenes and some violence. (I tried to post an excerpt from the most tamed part of the book. Hahaha. The sex scenes are intense.) Excerpt: My hands moved to his hair, my fingers sliding through the thick locks, urging him to move where I wanted to feel him most. Placing soft gentle kisses down to my inner thigh, he then moved his head to the other leg, repeating the process. The teasing was becoming too much, my legs parting as I gripped his hair, trying to tug him towards my center. His soft chuckle caused hot breath to fan over my folds, a gasp escaping as my head pushed back against the pillow under my head. "Please Kai." "Mm, I love the sound of you begging." His tongue flicked out, sliding up and down my slit at a slow tortuous pace. "Tell me what you want, Raven." Panting, my hands fisting his hair, my hips thrust forward. "I need more." He growled, a delicious feral sound as he buried his face between my thighs. *** Lilly Vanderbrooke and her twin brother are both running from a past that they would rather forget. Moving back to the hometown and the house that they were born in, they quickly become acquainted with their new neighbor. Quiet, reserved Lilly discovers that her new neighbor is awakening something in her that has been dormant for years. Kai Carter comes from a troubled childhood and has done some really shady things in his past. He may have a less than desirable reputation, but there is so much more than meets the eye. When he first lays eyes on the gorgeous Raven-haired beauty, something deep inside instantly draws him to her. From their very first encounter, sparks fly, and the connection is intense on both sides. Join them on their journey of growth, self-discovery and electrically charged sexual attraction!Kumpleto
Magics: Escape (Book 2)
It's been five years since Kai's life was completely turned upside down, but he is extremely grateful for the things that have happened. The deaths not included, things have changed for the better. Kai feels that if those men and Thorn hadn't showed up at his home, Abby wouldn't be his girlfriend, Chase wouldn't be his best friend, Shintaro wouldn't be an amazing "therapist" (as Chase calls it) to Kai, Linda wouldn't be like a mother to him, Gabriel wouldn't be the funny-in-his-own-antisocial-way friend (he had his own home in the town, so he often visited), and Kai wouldn't be as close to his father has he is now. Kai is actually enjoying his new life in this strange town. The village is "ruled" by a young woman named Ruby, and everyone there adores her for being such a great leader. Kai has only met her once or twice, but she seems very nice. But there is something prickling at the back of Kai's mind, and it unsettles him greatly. Ever since Moon vanished after killing Luke, she hasn't been spotted anywhere. Kai often wonders if she is somewhere far from where they are now, planning her next attack. When a series of strange events start happening around the town, Kai is certain that Moon is back and playing her game with them. In a way, he is right. But there are many things that he is also wrong about. During the midst of it all, Shintaro gets captured, sending Kai down a path of despair and hopelessness. He feels responsible for getting Shintaro back, but he doesn't know what he's up against. Thankfully, his friends don't let him do it by himself. As always, they have his back. And soon, new friends are there behind him, too. The group finds that Moon is behind all of this, but she isn't doing it for herself. She has Shintaro for a certain reason, and the friends are soon to find out what is at stake. The lives of others, including loved ones.Kumpleto
Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM)
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.Kumpleto
Dirty Hands- The City Of Whisperers
The last time Kaia saw her mother, she was nothing more than a pale shadow of the vibrant woman who had once been the heart of their kingdom. Her mother's breath came in shallow, labored gasps, the sickness claiming her slowly, piece by piece. But it was the words her mother spoke before her final breath that Kaia would carry with her forever. "The world is not as it seems, my love. Trust in yourself. Trust in the wind." Kaia didn't understand them then, but she would-soon enough. Her kingdom, once a land of magic and power, was falling apart. In the days before, the whispers had started. The sound of the earth, the wind, and the water; forces long ignored were now seen as a threat. Whisperers, beings like Kaia, who could bend the elements to their will, were hunted, sold, and killed like animals. But the true collapse of everything came after her mother's death. Her father, once a proud ruler, crumbled under the weight of his own guilt. And Kaia, filled with grief and rage, ran. She couldn't bear to stay any longer, not in the ashes of a kingdom that no longer cared for its people-or its whisperers. It was in her flight that she was taken. Abducted by the Rahibils, the hunters of the unspoken kind, who dealt in stolen souls. And in that dark, suffocating world of cages and chains, she met Reez-a stranger with eyes as sharp as the blade he wielded, and a heart hardened by the same cruel fate. They would be each other's strength in the days to come, as they plotted escape, and as Kaia learned the true meaning of freedom. But freedom, she would soon learn, came at a price higher than she could have ever imagined. The world was not as it seemed. She would find out soon enough just how deep the darkness went, and how far she was willing to go to uncover the truth. But only if she doesn't get herself killed first.
Primed: A Kayla Madison Story
Kayla Madison is a normal-ish sixteen-year old whose main desire is simple-make it through high school without embarrassing herself too much in the process. It doesn't help that she's being followed by dark figures no one else sees. When a man with incredible speed, unbelievable power, strange old-fashion clothes, and an obnoxious personality threatens her life, she discovers she is a rare "two-worlder" -a person with one parent from Earth and the other from Earth Prime. She escapes another attack by jumping through a portal to the alternate dimension, much to the chagrin of her protector. As if managing without electricity, cars, and phones on the more Edwardian world weren't enough stress; she finally meets her long-absent father, a scientist in the top-secret field of Trans-Dimensional Travel. Things get more complicated when she realizes her best friend's father, or rather the Earth Prime version of him, might have been the person that orchestrated the assaults. ___ Thanks for reading! I've been working on this story for quite a while and have drafts for a five book series. I would love feedback on what I can do to make it a stronger story. If there are things you enjoy, let me know (so I don't change those parts.) :) All portions of the story have been submitted and final chapters will visible by Nov 18, 2023. Among other degrees, I have my MFA in creative writing. I am a science teacher when I am not writing.Kumpleto
