Barry's life
Two people fall in love in unlikely circumstances. They have a lot of psychological issues and mistrusts in the order of things to prevent them from finding themselves and each other. I am a reader of crime novels and hard science fiction almost exclusively, and yet this story, which I have been writing for a long time, is a love story, I can't explain it even to myself. The characters will have to work through hardship and evolve to be able to surrender to the magical things around them and the flow of the universe and the love of other people. This story still is a work in progress, it has holes and it is to be continued

The Rats Refrain - ONC 2023
For as long as anyone can remember, the kingdom of Nilemah has been overrun with rats. No one quite knows the cause, but there were rumors of someone going town to town and ridding them of the infestation. Gwen Weatherby thought they were nonsense until the day he rode into town and changed everything. A vain fae prince who played with one too many hearts, Lyron was cursed to watch his friends and family turn into beasts, and the people of his kingdom become victims of the curse. The only way to free them all is to find his true love and make her fall in love with him. The caveat? She cannot know of the curse or who he is, and he only has one month to win her heart. Each failed attempt curses the town the girl left behind and causes its people to turn into rats when the sun goes down. Rats that only respond to the pipe he plays. After a thousand years of searching, Lyron has long since lost hope, until fiery Gwen bursts into his life. A prince in need of a lesson and a girl in need of adventure? What say you fate? Shall we let them dance? Based on prompt 43 for @OpenNovellaContest You have waited a thousand years to find your true love, what's one more day?

Seven Lost Lords: The Anomaly
~It isn't easy being an anomaly.~ The Aetyrim are a magical Faerie race, born with magic and hues of all kinds. But a divide lies between them, in the form of Black and White manes. So when Aven Elsgard, an albino aetyr without magic, is chosen by the Crown Prince to go to the Capital, she is at first both bewildered and ecstatic for what lies ahead. But she is encountered by an ancient spirit, one who claims to have lived at the time of when the seven gods still roamed the land, and she must make a choice- one that could save or threaten the world of Aetyria forever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome to Aetyria! This is the first of (presumably) a trilogy, following the adventures of Aven and Dukalis, a ragtag team of Aetyrim on a quest to find the Seven lost gods and get rid of racism forever! Cover art and concept belongs to me respectively :)

Protector of the Crown
COMPLETED BOOK I was trained to be a weapon for the kingdom. I was forced into servitude to the King after my family was ripped from me. My new life was covered in the blood of my family...and now I had to protect the royal family who ordered my parents' death. They're all monsters, except for him...he was my charge and as much as I wanted to hate him, the prince was nothing like his vicious father. He was a warm light in my cold and dark world. I was supposed to be controlled, cold, calculating and deadly, but he made me crave freedom, warmth and all the things I thought died with my family. I no longer knew my path...but I knew it led to him. ****** Don't hesitate to let me know what you think of my book or if you see grammatical errors/plot holes! *16+ is recommended...sex is implied but not described (I came up with that little rhyme while I was brushing my teeth this morning!) and there are scenes of violence.Complete
