When Phoenix Rivera, a rising elemental hero from Los Ángeles, is invited to join the Justice League, he's eager to prove he belongs. Young, powerful, and true to himself, Phoenix is everything that Gotham's dark knight is not. Batman doesn't trust power without limits, especially not when it burns as intensely as Phoenix does.
However, when they have to work together, things start to change. Underneath their conflicting instincts, there is a strong attraction. This challenges both Bruce's need for control and Phoenix's cautious heart.
In a world filled with secrets, masks, and tough missions, can two very different men learn to trust something as unpredictable as each other?

The Last Phoenix (book 1)
Ren is a quiet teen in a small New Zealand town. He just wants to finish school, avoid the local bullies and maybe tell his best friend how he feels. But one blistering summer day he bursts into flames and emerges as the Sun God's champion: a radiant, female warrior. For generations, the Phoenix's power has passed through the women of his family, so his grandmother is as shocked as he is when it chooses a boy. As Ren struggles to control fire, wings and teleportation, strange phenomena - frozen lakes in summer, earthquakes that seem to think - signal that the world is unraveling. Ancient enemies known as the Shadows of the Eclipse feed on chaos and are awakening. Torn between hiding in his hoodie and facing a destiny he never wanted, Ren must decide who he is, what he will fight for and whether to trust the boy who's always been by his side.

But if you're into mythic fantasy with real feelings, and a protagonist who literally sets himself on fire to save the world, jump in. The world's last Phoenix is a boy, and he's just getting started.Complete
Shadows of Gotham
In the heart of Gotham, the Bat-Family faces threats both familiar and extraordinary-but everything changes when a young Amazon named Nyx steps into their world. Gifted with powers that have not appeared in over 10,000 years, she carries the weight of a legacy older than memory itself-the Avatar of the Amazons, a force unseen for millennia. As Gotham teeters on the brink, alliances are tested and loyalties strained. Jason Todd, the Red Hood, is challenged not just in battle, but in trust and understanding, while Nyx must navigate a world of technology, intrigue, and heroes whose rules are entirely foreign to her. FOR THE READERS This story is set within the DC Universe, with the Bat-Family at its heart, exploring their dynamics, missions, and the unexpected chaos that can follow when new forces enter their world. Into this universe steps Nyx, a character inspired by the Avatar from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Rather than simply bending the elements, Nyx's abilities are woven into the history of the Amazons, blending elemental mastery with Amazonian training, combat, and resilience.

Fight or Flight? : A Damian Wayne Book
The time has come for Damian Wayne to learn to get along with society, and in his father's words, that means going to a real 'human infested' public school. When he is forced, with much anger on the subject, to attend Gotham Academy, he must learn how to survive without using a katana, or brute force, when he feels threatened, and to 'socialize' with whom he thinks he has no place. He believes, soon, that he will be the boss, since he is the son of Bruce Wayne, however, because of his shorter size and his higher IQ, the other kids in his grade begin to tease him, and leave him questioning his place. Seeking to find where he belongs, after an argument with Bruce, Damian returns to the League of Assassins, to claim what's rightfully his, as the next Ra al Ghul. There, he must make a choice that'll define his future. Will he stay with the League, or return home to his father and family just in time for the holidays? Damian must choose his destiny... With all the Batfam included. Written in honor of my clearly anti-social sis's favorite DC fam and character and to all the Damian fans that feel he needs some written adoration.Complete

As such, this is somewhat unedited, and needs improvement. Constructive criticism is both wanted and appreciated. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Cover is mine, made with AutoDesk Sketchbook and BeFunky photo editor. - - - - Content warnings: Kidnapping, Violence, Cursing, Fighting, Torture, Death, mentions of past s*xual assault, and slavery. Please let me know if there's any other warnings that you think should be added! (I swear that makes it sound so much worse than it actually is. This is a lighthearted story about friendship, self discovery, family, and freedom.)Complete
