In a small, superstitious town, the Mortem family is infamous-they run the county morgue and dwell in a mansion long believed to be cursed. But the truth behind the rumors is even stranger: the Mortems are a secretive clan of witches, their powers stretching across generations, both light and dark.
For one teenage girl at the heart of the family, life is a struggle between the burden of her ancestors and the choices she must make. Gifted with a rare ability to help lost souls find peace in the afterlife, she soon discovers a cruel catch: her power only works on the spirits of those who once murdered her kin-and who still threaten to destroy her bloodline.
Torn between the forces of good and evil within her heritage, she must navigate deadly family secrets, relentless spirits, and the shadow of the Mortem curse. Every decision could break the cycle of vengeance-or condemn her family to a fate worse than death.

An echo of Kings
"How do you mourn the dead, when the world says they never existed?" In the Kingdom of Varkhaz... truth is dictated by the stroke of a brush, and history can be rewritten with a trace of ink. Feria Hagalder spent the first fourteen years of her life confined within a 'golden cage,' and the following four years as a 'ghost' hidden deep within the forest. She is the survivor of her family's massacre. Yet, what is far more terrifying than the edge of a blade is the fact that her family members were erased from every record, as if they had never existed in this world at all. But amidst the silence, Feria hears voices... They are the fragments of distorted memories, visions of things that do not exist, and echoing reminders that her 'identity' might not be the role she is currently playing. As vengeance begins to devour the "little lamb" mask she has forged, Feria must make a choice: remain hidden in the shadows for the rest of her life, or step back into the vortex of lies to reclaim her erased name. In a world where anomalies are an omen of doom... she is willing to become a demon to rewrite the truth with her own blood. 📖 What to Expect ✔ Dark Fantasy & Cosmic Horror ✔ Psychological Dread & Isolation ✔ The Mystery ✔ Ancient Gods & Eldritch Curses ✔ Slow Burn Character Growth ✔ Loss of Humanity ⚠️ Content Warnings ✔ Violence & Gore ✔ Psychological Trauma & Gaslighting ✔ Body Horror ✔ Dark/Mature Themes 📅 Update Schedule ✔ weekly Updates - every Wednesday & Sunday ★ Schedule Notice: Due to health issues, updates will be irregular.

Experimental Magic ✔
Two types of magic divide the world the Tarby family lives in. There are those who practice magic built on tradition set in stone by the ancient spell book and those who dare to experiment and create their own. Those who step outside the confines of the ancient spell book are seen as dangerous troublemakers who have no place in the society created by the powerful elites. Witches who practice experimental magic are often shunned and ridiculed for their beliefs while traditionalists are praised for upholding the status quo. Like the world they live in, the Tarby family is also divided. In the face of adversity, the siblings were forced to choose a side. The youngest of four, fifteen year-old Meadow is torn between her strict, by the book sisters and her unorthodox, exhibitionist brother. While her two sisters Misty and Millie chose adherence to traditional standards, her brother Markos rejected the ancient teachings and dove deep into experimental magic. For years, the once inseparable family has been plagued by hatred and division stemming from the sides they've chosen. As the challenges they face become more difficult, the siblings must find a way to come together or be forever broken by a system designed to tear them apart.

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete
