They were never meant to survive the town that raised them-only to outlive it.

In the decaying, flood-washed town of Saint Lillian, Louisiana, the holy and the damned live side by side-and sometimes, in the same skin. Eden Rae Harrow was the preacher's daughter, born to obey, to repent, to kneel. Rowan Thorne was the pastor's prodigal son, returned like a ghost from exile, trailing sin like smoke.

When a body is found on church grounds, Eden and Rowan are drawn together by shared suspicion and buried secrets. As the town turns on them, the pair flee into the wilderness, hunted by the same faith that once claimed them. But Saint Lillian doesn't let its sinners go quietly. Something darker is unraveling-something rooted in old sermons, deeper graves, and a boy named Micah, who loved them both too much to let go.

Caught between loyalty and survival, desire and guilt, Eden and Rowan must face what they left behind-and what still waits for them in the dark. Because in Saint Lillian, love can damn you just as quickly as it saves.

A gothic tale of twisted devotion, blood-washed sins, and the kind of love that burns down chapels-God Rest the Wicked is a story of ruin, resurrection, and reckoning.

A genderqueer hillbilly and a haunted woman must break a generational curse that has entwined their lives in the abandoned coal-stripped mountains of the Pennsylvania Wilds. *** Desperate to flee a dark past, Finley drives off a cliff and prays to the ancient hemlocks below to catch her fall. But in the abandoned hollows of the Pennsylvania Wilds, everything comes at a price. Tasked by an undead Not-Deer, Finley must find the three talismans that mark the mountain's boundaries in order to break a century old curse, one that has not only haunted the women in her family for generations, but has also bound the supernatural beings to the mountain, including the dead. Fortunately, the handsome genderqueer hillbilly up the road, River Hawthorne, is just as eager [maybe too eager] to break the curse. Together, they navigate the woods where hungry trees walk and other demonic haunts roam, growing closer every moment. But breaking the curse also comes at a price and Finley must decide what freedom is worth when her past comes crawling back through the woods to haunt her. HEARTWOOD blends gothic folk horror with cabincore sapphic romance.

*This is a rewrite of My other book, Crown of ash, I'm a lot more proud of this version* In Duskwood's shadowy underworld, high school outcasts Damon Derron and Zane Cuwait, both born into families of occult origin, run a group called The Circle-a gang that they teach to wield demonaltry; the dark art of summoning demons to seize power. Bound by ancient rites and forbidden pacts, their thirst for influence drives them into a perilous web of danger and deceit. The demons they summon offer incredible power, but it always comes at a horrific price, slowly eroding their moral compasses and binding them tighter to dark forces. Their quest for dominance sets The Circle on a collision course with rival gangs vying for control of Daytona's criminal underbelly. The Revsnakes, led by the formidable and enigmatic Rocky Vega, emerge as fierce adversaries. With sinister secrets of their own, the Revsnakes threaten to unravel The Circle's carefully laid plans. Caught in the crossfire is Skyla Vauxdale, a former demonaltrist turned witch and Damon's ethereal ex-girlfriend. Skyla struggles with her identity, torn between her lingering love for Damon and her morality. As supernatural forces close in and the pressure mounts, Daytona teeters on the brink of chaos. Damon's relentless ambition and unyielding drive lead him to take increasingly desperate and dangerous measures. In Crown of Ash, loyalties fracture and alliances shift like sand. Damon, Zane, and Skyla are ensnared in a harrowing tale of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of identity amidst dark magic. Each must confront their inner demons and make sacrifices that will shape their destinies. As old bonds are tested and new enemies arise, they must decide whether to rise from the ashes of their own making or be consumed by the darkness they have unleashed.

With his ice cold skin, transfixing eyes and enchanting voice, Rohan took hold of Faith's heart and soul as soon as they looked at each other. She knew it was wrong.
