Some truths are buried in blood. Others are carved into fate.
Zuri Riley always believed she was human-an art consultant with a mysterious past, raised in a quiet town, trying to lead an ordinary life. But when a haunting stranger appears at the summer gala and a long-dormant power stirs beneath her skin, her carefully constructed reality begins to unravel.
Secrets surface. Dreams speak in ancient tongues. And the man with ember-flecked eyes? He's not just watching-he's protecting her from a darkness older than the human world.
Nyrix Vane, enforcer of the Dark Fae Court, has upheld the ancient laws that guard the fragile veil between the human and fae realms. But when a rogue fae begins murdering humans for sport, and all signs point to Zuri as the next target, Nyrix is forced to choose between the law he's sworn to uphold and the girl who may be the key to a prophecy long forbidden.
As Zuri's powers surge and danger closes in, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. Because Zuri isn't just different-she's fae. And loving her could cost them both everything.
Magic. Betrayal. Forbidden love.
The veil is thinning. And once it falls-no one will be safe.

Linger
Ira has always lived slightly out of sync with the world. A 27-year-old artist drifting between rejection emails and half-finished sketches, she's grown used to the quiet ache under her skin - that feeling something important is just out of reach. Her days blur into lukewarm coffee, too-loud clocks, and dreams she can't quite shake. Dreams of black sand, twin moons, and a boy with storm-colored eyes who seems to remember her. When a strange mark begins to glow on her wrist - delicate, crescent-shaped, and definitely not a birthmark - Ira writes it off as stress. Lack of sleep. Maybe delusion. Until she sees him. In the metro station. On the page. At her door. A man who shouldn't exist outside her sketchbook - but stands in her living room with a voice like silk and eyes like the end of the world. He doesn't tell her his name. Not right away. And when he does, it tastes like something she was never supposed to remember. Rei. As her memories begin to blur with dreams, and the world starts glitching around her - Ira is forced to question everything. Familiar people vanish. Reality slips. And every line she draws pulls her closer to a truth her body remembers... even if her mind has tried to forget. There are gaps in her past that don't make sense. A childhood disappearance no one explains. A voice she's heard before, whispering from somewhere behind the veil. And a pattern of disappearances that all seem to follow in her wake. Because Ira isn't just remembering Rei. She's waking something older. And it's waking her back. Linger is a slow-burn romantic mystery woven with fantasy, memory, and myth. It's about the soft terror of forgetting, the sharp intimacy of being seen, and the aching pull of a connection that defies logic, distance, and time. Some doors, once opened, don't close quietly. And some names, once spoken, can't be taken back.Complete

Is she the hunter, the hunted... or the killer herself? Dark, eerie, and unsettling, Through The Shattered Garden is a twisted psychological fantasy about identity, obsession, and the dangerous secrets that grow when reality begins to crack.

First Volume of the Dark Folktales. This is a horror, erotic romance, with monster-of-the-week vibes, such as Buffy, Supernatural, Witcher, Claymore, and Van Helsing. (I'm a massive fan of the monster hunting genre.) Written from Sep 2011 until April 2014. This was the very first adult romance I'd written and has a plethora of problems. Despite this, I won't do further editing as I'm putting my efforts into a full re-write. Author's note - Please be mindful of what you're saying when commenting. I'm happy with helpful criticism, spelling/grammar pointers, questions or simple chatter. However, a tirade of needless, unhelpful complaints and just outright rude commentary is not welcome. My stories are terrible first drafts, they're going to be riddled with issues, so just politely highlight if you feel there's a problem. I'll listen and likely take on board the criticism. And if you're not enjoying it, that's fine, just move on and thank you for giving it a shot. The cover is my own art; sketched 2017.
