The Clearing is a story that I've had in mind for some years. I grew up in the rural countryside of New Zealand, surrounded by dairy farmers and farming folk. There was always something mystical about the Taranaki landscape, and I love fantasy and sci-fi, so the two ideas seemed to blend well in this little tale.... Hope you enjoy!

Mate of the Dragon God
Auria is meant to be wed-- at least, her parents believe so. It's a difficult world for an unmarried woman, and her parents only want what's best for her: a safe, well-fed life during the cold, wintry months. But, Auria doesn't want to be shackled down to a man... she doesn't know what she wants, or if she's even allowed to want more. If only she were born a noble, she'd be able to spend her days reading. She could read REAL literature, not just biblical propaganda spread by the church. Auria wants a life different than hers, but she knows her place--she has no choice. Determining that fighting fate is useless, she decides to give in to her parents' demands. It's during the church's solstice event that her new life plan unravels when the very God her people worship takes center stage. ----- Cyrus was one of the first creatures to ever exist.

Still, he was mateless. He has watched his brothers one by one find the missing pieces of their souls and yet he remained alone. His despair lulled him to sleep... but something has stirred his desires. 🔞18+, sexual themes and mature scenes. ~~Mate of the Dragon God is a romance fantasy set in an old-world realm, filled with magical creatures of all sorts ~~

A Inverno Tale
Let's be honest. No one is truly plain and simple. Everyone has a tale. That is why you are here after all correct? Italy. 1948. The war is over, families are being reunited, bombs are being exchanged for books, and children are playing in the street once again. 12 year old Inverno Temporale lives with her Mother and sister among the cobblestone roads and the crisp stars at night. But a man by the name of Piero Marco and his underground regime the P.C.L.S. want to change all of that. They claim that everyone with magic are dangerous witches and that they should be separated from the rest of society, leaving Inverno and millions of others with and without magic, in fear for their lives.Complete
The Dragon Under The Hill
THE DRAGON UNDER THE HILL is primarily historical fiction with a fantasy twist. As a character driven, poetic, coming of story set in rural Wales in the 1930s it would sit alongside novels like 'How green was my valley' or 'Goodnight Mister Tom' with the fantasy twist more akin to 'Eragon'. I believe it would appeal to anyone who has gone through any of the feelings of change and awkwardness a person goes through leaving childhood behind, anyone who remembers their first crush, those who enjoy historical fiction or strong characters and those who enjoy a fantasy 'what if?' situation. In THE DRAGON UNDER THE HILL, 12 year old Jack is reluctantly sent spend the summer with his grandparents on a rural hill farm in West Wales. His misgivings grow in this strange place and strange people, compounded by a community under threat from an unscrupulous Government representative. Although there exists one point of interest, the mysterious cairn at the top of the hill that, despite being forbidden and the threat of a vicious wild dog, fascinates Jack. When the secret of the ancient cairn is revealed it changes Jack and the characters he meets forever.Complete
