"Some people have complimented saying my tales have the beat of the Moroccan Gnawa. I think they were just being nice; because with the passage of time, I have become convinced it was the evileye that captured me."
1999, Morocco, term abroad design study for me, an American college student. Wanted to get into the culture... but the culture got into me.
New Mexico native, inspired by the landscape and Ansel Adams, Georgia O'Keeffe, JB Jackson, I tell my own story, having been heavily influenced by Lord Byron, HG Wells, Algernon Blackwood and Rod Serling.
I call this work: landscape stories. They are low fantasy.

The Divine Armor of the Old Century -2
This is one heck of a Victorian-style fantasy novel. Add a spoonful of steam engines to make that darned technology tree come alive! Add a spoonful of love and hatred, so everyone has good reasons to brawl! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters to play the main boss... and so on! Phew, that's a lot! ... Year 931 in the Engerwick Calendar. The city I reside in has been hailed as the most advanced in the West. The main reasons? The world-shaking steam technology, emerging technologies, and the wellspring of chaos. Can't deny it, but the fact remains that people keep flocking here to live. This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it's lies or illusions, but it's so close, within arm's reach, making you risk life and limb. A city of hallucinations. I am one of those dream-chasers.

Надія
«Скільки болю потрібно витерпіти людині, щоб зникла надія? Надія ніколи не згасає до кінця, як себе не обманюй. Навіть коли ти повністю закриваєшся від усіх і більше нічого не чекаєш, маленька іскорка все ж лишається. А що, якщо ця надія стане не просто відчуттям, а справжнім маленьким чоловічком, який невтомно доводитиме, що твоя надія саме на нього і чекала? Що робитиме Женя, зіткнувшись із цим? Звичайно, вона втече. Але чи дозволять їй це дві людини, які тепер заодно?»

Ethan Sterling enters the 2026 World Cup as a substitute defender nobody expects to matter. Then Portugal falls three goals behind, the crowd turns vicious, and Ethan walks onto the field.

The Silent Sister
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
