[Check out BOUNTY HUNTERS, the sequel to Errand Runners]
Unlike the other criminals in Nova City, Nole Vale has a curfew. While most civilians just want to survive in their crime-ridden, gang-infested city, this sixteen-year old is determined to conquer the city streets and provide for his brother and sister by any means necessary. But after crashing into a mysterious teenager, Nole is suddenly accused of a crime he didn't commit and his stable way of life begins to crumble. With the help of a diverse, yet peculiar group of teenagers, he must navigate his way through lethal gangs, brutal City Enforcers, and a corrupt city system in order to clear his name and keep himself and his siblings alive.

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

My Eros Angel
"Eros!" He stares at my hand on him, his eyebrows furrowing as he moves away from my touch. "Sorry?" he says blankly. I search his face, the wide smile on my own slowly fading as realization takes hold. The look in his eyes now is nothing like I saw two minutes ago as he conversed and laughed with the human boy. Now, his eyes are cold and lifeless as he stares at me. "You have no idea who I am, do you?" ~~~~~~~ Cassian and Eros have loved each other for thousands of lifetimes.

A war that will pull the couple in and threaten to tear them apart for good. Can they find their love again and hold onto each other for a little bit longer? Will Eros learn of his true identity and that of his angel lover? // LONGLISTED IN THE OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2022 // Mature rating is for depictions of violence and references to blood (only in two chapters).Complete
Run with the Devil (SAMPLE)
A stolen life. A forbidden romance. An age-gap MM love story where desire becomes the most dangerous risk of all. Tommy // I didn't mean to end up here-scraping by, following in my deadbeat dad's footsteps, chasing a version of myself that doesn't feel real anymore. Then Adrian Ashford showed up, all control and calm danger, and suddenly I couldn't tell if I was being saved or swallowed whole. He offers me work, a purpose, a way out of the trailer park. But every time he looks at me like that, I forget what I'm running from. Adrian // I built my life on discipline, on following rules that keep everything in order. But Tommy tests every one of them. He's reckless, defiant, and too damn alive for the world I live in. The more I try to keep him at a distance, the more I find myself breaking the one rule the boss gave me: don't touch him. 📖 Part of the Road to Us Collection The Road to Us Collection is a series of interconnected standalone queer romances about friendship, found family, and falling in love against the odds.

WHAT THEY SEE
"I got you something." He told her pulling away, while she watched him curiously until he pulled out a pandora bag. Her eyes widened at the necklace with an infinity symbol in crested with small little diamonds. "How you even afford this kari?" She questioned, unable to take her eyes off of it. "Shit, my savings." He rubbed the back of his head that possessed his starter loc twists. "That was so nice of you, you didn't have too." She smiled softly finally looking at him, "Can you put it on me?" He stood behind her and she moved her hair out of the way as he put it around her neck and clipped it back together. Her hand immediately went to it. "I'm never gone take it off." She promised him turning to face him. "I love you kari." "I love you too, hone.
