Behind the Barrier, Jillian's life is tidy enough: follow orders, keep the illusion of peace intact-and, in theory, fix her personal life, which remains an ongoing disaster. That is, until things stop making sense-and she starts recognizing faces she's never met. Her job? Eliminate the creatures that slip through from the Astral. Easy enough-until one of them, a charming bastard who calls himself a Wishmaster, starts slipping into her dreams and peeling back her defenses like he's done it before. Maybe he has. Then there's her new partner: engineered by OptiMate to be her perfect match, tailored to her needs with unsettling precision, and wearing a face that feels just a little too familiar. And maybe that's not a coincidence either. As reality unravels and memories begin surfacing in all the wrong places, Jillian starts to wonder if the real threat isn't what lurks beyond the Barrier-but what's already rewriting her from the inside. A blend of sharp-edged romance, warped memory, and twisted magic-for readers who love stories where love feels wrong, the past refuses to stay buried, and the truth hits like a sucker punch.
The Prison of Deviants
Ever since Theo got infected with the vampire dust, the symptoms of a vampire have taken over her, so she was sent to the Prison of Deviants - a secluded fortress in a remote part of the world, created to keep deviants (humanoid creatures with different blood and superior powers) away from humanity. Together with two other vampires - Yelen and Annabelle - Theo, the former human, begins to live in the prison, as a deviant. Theo tries to keep herself aloof since, as a newly-infected human, she hates deviants, but this attitude doesn't last long: young deviant men are very interested in getting their hands on the newcomer. Derek, a merman, invites her to parties; and Shon, a newly-turned werewolf, becomes her close friend. It grows even more complicated with the appearance of Knut - a mysterious feline hunk whose identity and powers are not quite clear, but who manages to attract Theo with his complex personality. Theo, aware that the inborn deviants will never look at them - the infected humans - as equals, decides to break out of the prison along with her friends. But for that, she'll have to challenge the mysterious and omnipotent warden, whom few have seen, yet all are terrified of. ---- Available on amazon.com at the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096HJ21KN ---- Available on the Tales app (as a branching-dialogue multiple choice GAME) at the link: https://link.talescreator.com/k6f5oBryXsbComplete
Bloodrush (Scarlet Star Trilogy #1)
"Magick ain't pretty, it ain't stars and sparkles. Magick is dirty. It's rough. Raw. It's blood and guts and vomit. You hear me?" When Prime Lord Hark is found in a pool of his own blood on the steps of his halls, Tonmerion Hark finds his world not only turned upside down, but inside out. His father's last will and testament forces him west across the Iron Ocean, to the very brink of the Endless Land and all civilisation. They call it Wyoming. This is a story of murder and family. In the dusty frontier town of Fell Falls, there is no silverware, no servants, no plush velvet nor towering spires. Only dust, danger, and the railway. Tonmerion has only one friend to help him escape the torturous heat and unravel his father's murder. A faerie named Rhin. A twelve-inch tall outcast of his own kind. This is a story of blood and magick. But there are darker things at work in Fell Falls, and not just the railwraiths or the savages. Secrets lurk in Tonmerion's bloodline. Secrets that will redefine this young Hark. This is a story of the edge of the world. ---------- You can also now read the second book in the trilogy-Bloodmoon-at: https://www.wattpad.com/story/45459244-bloodmoon-scarlet-star-trilogy-2.

The Cunning Man || ONC 2021
🔸️ ONC 2021 Shortlist & Honorable Mention 🔸️ In 1884, an accusation of witchcraft sent Cade Pellar running to Wyoming. A decade later, he's accused again by his own mail-order bride. The problem for Cade is that the accusations are only false because of a technicality: His magic's not witchcraft. It's Cunning. But either way, semantics are the least of Cade's concerns. Problem #1 is Mrs. Nora Pellar and the magic in her touch. Problem #2 is the Pinkerton that's been resurrected from his past. Problem #3 is that to solve the first two, Cade needs to embrace his magic. Which leads to Problem #4: He'd sooner die than become a Cunning Man. || Primary Prompt: #22 || Secondary Prompt: #63 ||Complete

Supernatural/Modern AU. Finding three mysteriously dead teens causes Sheriff Snotlout Jorgensen to call in his cousin and his band of supernatural investigators. Unexpectedly finding themselves in the past, Hiccup has to solve the mystery or they will all share the dead teens fate. Sequel to 'The Spectre of Raven Point' A/N: Halloween again and I couldn't resist the opportunity to deploy paranormal investigator Hiccup Haddock once more. Of course, there are no more spooky lighthouses in need of exorcism but a spooky house, some mysterious murders and a century-old wrong should keep him busy. Enjoy!
