ONC 2025 Short List: Aden Dekker easily slays on the dating front, but as one to go with the flow rather than dive into the dark uncertainties and mysteries clouding his life, he's avoided giving serious consideration to what qualities he's looking for in a girl beyond a pretty smile. But when a blood-starved vampire queen comes hunting him, he quickly figures out exactly what he wants in a girl when it comes to wicked, nighttime company -- arcane book smarts, steel nerves, and a loaded crossbow.
This story was written for the Open Novella Competition, ONC 2025, prompt 11.
Reader advisory: bad language, horror elements (bitey, vampiric violence and seduction), a pinch of sexy spice.

But she doesn't find safety. Safety was never there. ➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶ WARNING - this is a very violent and graphic book. It is not recommended for anyone under the age of sixteen.

A vampire mage and a modern cop team up to battle evil magic... When police sergeant Caro Harrington witnesses a man being killed by an invisible assailant, she suspects a detective agency with a reputation for solving "weird cases" might be her only hope. Especially now that she senses someone has been watching her ever since she saw the murder. But when Caro walks in the door, her own uncanny skills tell her these aren't ordinary men...especially Iain Keller, who, surprisingly enough, is the first person to believe her. Once a Persian mage, Iain is drawn to Caro in a way that no woman has ever attracted him. The magic glimmering within this mortal witch calls to his own, and the need to possess Caro drives him, until it's all-consuming. The vampire can fight it...or he can save her, teach her and damn himself.
The Taste of Iron by Easterhead

Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert

Thea lost her hand to the things that live in the wood, and she can't shake loose the voice that lured her there.

When her brother is attacked by the Witch's gruesome creations, Thea breaks into her cottage, determined to save him from a fate she knows all to well. Because in Devil's Corner, stories are true, and Thea knows the greatest one of all: the only way to break a curse, is to kill the witch. --- COMPLETE - 20,000 words Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.

Copyrighted 2020 **Book 1 in the Darkness Series!** **Completed!** *Under construction* There was a creature locked away miles beneath the stone streets of Deshua, Oregon. A monster with the body of a man, jet black eyes of a soulless demon, and even darker feather wings cascading from its back. Those foolish enough to believe its unnatural, ethereal beauty would call it a fallen angel. The immortals who inhabited the town knew better. They knew to call it daemonium-demon. Forced asleep by a council who believed in the greater good, many revered the monster. Yet the town's eternal population was torn in two. Half awaited the day for the foretold cursed soul to come and resurrect their lord and the other half feared it just as much. And guess who got to be that lucky bitch. *No love triangle* -&- **WARNING** This book WILL have mature, adult content! Please be aware of this before reading. If you are under the age of 17, DO NOT READ. If you can not handle mature scenes DO NOT READ. You have been warned.

"Didn't anyone ever warn you not to make deals with devils and demons?" Vampires of The Blackbird - Book One (Beware of blood & sex - BDSM - why choose) On meeting the owner of a new pub, Taran, a terrifying man dressed in black, I could be in for more than I bargain for if I convince him my ice-cream-sundae dress sense doesn't mean I don't have what it takes to work in the dark world of The Blackbird. But maybe there's more to my friend's warnings to stay away, and Taran's hesitations to hire me, than just my lack of work experience...and maybe it has something to do with my curiosity about the goings on behind the mysterious red door only a select few are allowed behind. Despite how much he terrifies me, Taran seems to have a way of inspiring me to step out of my comfort zone and into a world where blood and submission are the best form of payment. . .
