From storms and stars, Aaliyah was born.
The first of the Primordials, the Wolf of Thunder and Stars, the Wolf of the West, has been freed. She must now embark on a dangerous quest to gather allies and regain her previous strength.
As she navigates this treacherous landscape, Aaliyah must once again confront the harsh realities of survival, forging her own path and building a pack of loyal followers. But her greatest challenge lies in protecting her clan from the threats that lurk in every shadow. With her unyielding spirit, Aaliyah will stop at nothing to safeguard her kin and ensure the Alharis Clan's legacy endures.
Will she rise to the challenge, or will the weight of her destiny crush her? Dive into Rise of the Storm, a tale of resilience, loyalty, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
(The title on the cover is slightly inaccurate, sadly. This is called Rise of the Storm, and is first in the Chronicles of the Alharis series. I'll fix it at some point, but I am too tired to do that right now.)

The Wolf Series #3: Between Two Worlds [COMPLETED}
We are all half-human. Half-beast. But some of us are just monsters. + + + "Jace?" I meet his eyes. I hadn't expected this from him. I honestly hadn't expected him to do this in retaliation, "What have you done?" Sentinels. He let them know where I am. "He did the right thing." That voice. I freeze and let Jace slip through my trembling hands. I recognize that voice...and I recognize her presence. Turning around, one of the hooded guards steps forward. Her amber eyes flash, "You are a long way from home, Prophet Amelia." ... Five years have passed since Amelia was taken from Diurnal. Five years have passed since she started training at The Order. Now, she has returned. But she is no longer the same Wolf that left. In a race against Orion in a search for a missing relic to be used to destroy The Moon, Amelia must return to the places where those who betrayed her are. It is time to wrap up business left unfinished and settle unpaid debts. New alliances clash with old friendships-and it is not only Amelia beginning to question who the real enemy is. With the war between The Moon and Orion coming to light, the packs must choose which side of the conflict they want to be on. Many will begin to ask questions of their leaders and themselves-questions that Amelia had asked long before...and still searching for those answers. Time has changed and molded all, but not as much as Amelia. She reappears with far more secrets and truths than before-none of which the Wolves are ready for. The biggest: sometimes those who are good and those who are trusted are not mutually exclusive. The Prophet has returned, and these two worlds finally collide. + + + This is the third installation to a 4-part series.

Just when he least expects it, she falls into his lap, smelling like his best friend and wanting nothing to do with him. What happens when a battle-hardened Alpha who is used to getting his way comes up against a stubborn woman set on walling herself from everyone?

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete

Protecting the Wolf Prince
Aaliyah is werewolf army born and bred. She is from a long line of werewolves that live to protect their own. But one moment in her life altered her world forever. Suffering with grief, she did the unthinkable in their world and disobeyed a direct order from her superior officer, earning her a dishonourable discharge. Cast out by her father for shaming what he saw was the proud legacy of his line, she moved to the vampire world of Elm'nyth. When a messenger appears with a formal order from the king of her world, Aaliyah is given a second chance at redeeming herself, a chance at earning forgiveness from her father. Returning to the werewolf realm of Askara'velmanti at the height of full moon, Aaliyah happens upon one very fine young man and she spends the night with him, celebrating the tradition that they are accustomed to. She was used to not being what the males of the species saw as a worthy mate, having spent years being a full moon lover to someone and then to have nothing eventuate with them. Waking to an empty apartment the next morning was no surprise to her, she was used to it. Aayliah believed that she was destined to walk the land a lonely woman, never believing she deserved to find her mate. Consequences for actions is something that Aaliyah is used to. She disobeyed her superior officer, she was discharged from the army. She received a dishonourable discharge, her father disowned her. She left the werewolf realm for the vampire realm having little to do with her own world, she knew little of the changes that happened in her absence. She slept with an unknown man at full moon and will now pay the ultimate price for her actions. © These stories and works are copyrighted.

Of Dragon and Sorrows - Book 1
A Kingdom Forged in Blood. A War Born of Lies. A Destiny Written Beneath the Moon.** For ten long years, the Noble Houses of Devraen and the Tribe of the Sea have drowned the North in frost and fury. What began as a single act of violence has become a war of pride, grief, and vengeance - a war no one truly understands. When the battlefield falls silent and the last embers die, Meher - the fallen heir of the Tribe of the Sea - must kneel before the king he once swore to destroy. With lives bleeding out behind him and his honor in chains, he accepts a bitter truth: Sometimes, peace demands more courage than war. But Devraen is not built on mercy. Beneath golden crowns and sacred banners, shadows move. Truth is twisted. Allegiances rot. And a serpent in black armor smiles beneath a borrowed light. As Meher and Amane uncover whispers of a hidden force - one that fueled the conflict for its own design - they must choose: Serve the kingdom that shattered them... or expose a darkness ancient as the snow, patient as the sea. Loyalties will break. Secrets will rise. And the North will learn: Not all enemies wield swords. Some wear crowns. Some offer peace. And some... are born in shadow.

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
