The age of the Roaring Twenties is marred by the outcome of the Civil War. The victory of the South marked the beginning of a new political regime: slavery is thriving, and the judge needs but one thing-the 'Slave Theory'-in order to deprive an innocent man of all rights of property, and to condemn him to penal servitude.
Steven Keyle, a disgraced abolitionist and convicted criminal, finds himself in the very heart of a vast political conspiracy, while trying to unravel the dark mystery surrounding his owner.

Behind the Screen
The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.Complete

Est walks into his dreaded English class only to realize the man from that night isn't a stranger at all-he's William Jakrapatr, the powerful, enigmatic owner of JKP College and now... his professor. Caught between heartbreak, forbidden desire, and the intoxicating pull of a man he should never want, Est finds himself trapped in a dangerous game of temptation.

A night meant to be forgotten becomes the start of a love that could ruin them both. It's my first time writing a story, I hope you all like it. P.S. All the characters in this story are from my imagination and have nothing to do with real life actors. Thank you!Complete
CRIMSON REIGN: KISS ME, KILL ME
In a world where vampires didn't rise in secret, but were unleashed by human hands in the aftermath of genetic warfare, blood is currency, power is eternal, and lies bleed just as easily as throats. A century after the Hemogenic Accord - the global treaty that legalized vampire existence in exchange for regulated feeding and shared governance - the world teeters on a fragile coexistence. Vampires rule cities like syndicates, blending royalty with corporate might. Humans either align, serve, or rebel - often switching sides before sunrise. The line between prey and predator is thin, and very, very negotiable. At the heart of this fractured peace stands Prince Est, a volatile young vampire of noble blood, born in the first wave of post-war breeding labs - powerful, charming, and devastatingly brutal. He's barely a century old, but carries the madness of immortality like a well-tailored coat. William , an enigma in human skin. Older than he lets on, sharper than anyone suspects, and a master of deception with a bloodline wiped from records for reasons unknown. Est has survived vampire politics, assassination attempts, and multiple ex-boyfriends with fangs. Now, he scams vampires for a living - until his path collides (violently) with William's. But William isn't just a human. And Est isn't just a prince. As ancient secrets awaken and desire burns between blade and bite, they're forced into a twisted alliance - one part seduction, two parts vengeance, and zero parts sanity. And in this world, love isn't just dangerous. It's carnivorous.
