A kingdom on the verge of war, a mystery that seems impeccable, and one boy who can change everything.
In a world where children are affected by a recessive gene carried down through generations, kids start mutating and developing strange abilities, Jacob Brimstone is on the brink of figuring out the truth about his horrible past, and strange future. But living in a village where kids like himself are taken and never seen again, isn't exactly easy. When Jacob's brother gets captured by an unknown force, Jacob goes to the very depths of his fear to find his brother, even if that means going to the enemy itself. When figuring out that the one enemy Jacob has sworn to destroy, turns out to be an ally, Jacob uses his new found knowledge to uncover a mystery that is long since been foretold. Along the way, he finds friends to help him along his journey. However, what Jacob doesn't know is that one of his friend's might have a darker past than his own. "Gifted" destroys the eyes of regular reality and sets up a question in your head: what is light? and what is Darkness?
"Gifted" is book one in a trilogy.

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run.

The Villain? No, That's Not Me.
In a world where reality itself bends to the will of a lazy god, one boy moves in the shadows.. not for conquest, not for revenge, but for something far greater... personal pleasure. With the ability to manipulate, create, and control others with an unbreakable grip disguised as free will, our nameless protagonist has no grand ambitions. No desire for war. No thirst for destruction. All he wants... is an obedient, devoted harem in a world where chaos reigns. And yet, despite his best efforts to lay low, he's drawn the attention of Duke K'lone, the legendary Sword Saint, after effortlessly bending the duke's pride and joy, the Sword Princess Veronica, to his will, without her even realizing it. Now, the entire kingdom is on edge. Who is this mysterious boy? How did he defeat the princess without lifting a finger? And most importantly, why does he seem completely uninterested in power? As knights, nobles, and adventurers scramble to uncover his identity, he continues his game of control, deception, and absolute obedience. Because in his mind, he's not the villain. ...But the rest of the world isn't so sure. "I'm not trying to take over the world. I just want to enjoy my life." "Then why does everyone you meet end up completely devoted to you?" "...Coincidence?"Complete

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy)
As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning.

For Her Favor
"This man had sought revenge for me and made a spectacle for it. He had protected my crown. He also answered my questions vaguely and I was nowhere closer to figuring him out than when he first arrived, but I was drawn to him. Like an addict to a drug, damn I wanted to be close to him. I wanted his touch. There was no sane explanation for it, it was just a want, a need." Princess Esme was never supposed to be Queen, but when tradgedy strikes in her Fae kingdom, she is forced to bear the crown. In Amoria, the Kingdom of Love and Life, she must battle with the patriarchy now to keep it. They want a king on the throne and she wants a chance at true love like the rest of her people. To placate the nobles in her kingdom that have a grip on her power, she agrees to the Battle of Hearts-a competition where eligible princes from other kingdoms compete for her favor and to be named king. Everything Esme knows is about to be challenged and not everything will be as it seems. In the end she'll have to choose; her kingdom or her heart.Complete
Tree of Life
You are now reading Books I and II in a combined format. They are presented here as a single volume. Book I is about a thirteen year old boy's journey into magical healing. It is a time of awakening. Awakening to who you are, what you are meant to be, of friends and young love, of power and its use for good or evil. Book I is the book of beginnings. Book II outlines the further adventures of Julian, Nicole and Brian after they have grown up. What's at stake is magnified exponentially as the extent and full power of the Tree becomes realized. Book III has just begun. (Oct 10 2014) Please go check on my profile page. :-) Here's a thought. ^.^ We Canadians sometimes spell things differently. Like 'neighbourhood', 'Paediatrics' or even 'honour'. How's that? :-) So, thank you all so much, but please do not edit my work for spelling or grammar. All right? :-) I'd rather get there on my own, eventually.Complete
Through Ash and Iron (On Hold)
In a world divided by war, where rivalries burn hotter than the sun and the clash of swords echoes through the ages, two commanders forged an unexplainable bond in their final moments-a bond that would become legend.** When the battlefield claimed Azrion and Rhael, enemies sworn to destroy one another, their intertwined hands told a tale the world would never forget. Some called it fate, others a fleeting touch of the divine. No one knew the truth behind their final act of unity. Centuries later, their story lingers in whispers, a warning and a mystery. Kai and Jeyrick, bitter rivals in a kingdom on the brink, care little for ancient legends. Their only focus is outwitting each other in a rivalry as fierce as the storms that plague their lands. Yet, when they are thrown together on a mission that could tip the scales of war, they begin to question the roles they've always played. Is their rivalry born of hatred, or is there a deeper reason their paths always cross? As shadows loom and destiny stirs, Kai and Jeyrick must face the truth: sometimes, the enemy you fight the hardest is the one you're meant to save. A tale of war, destiny, and the bonds that transcend hatred, *The Binding of Rivals* will grip your heart and leave you questioning the power of fate and the true meaning of brotherhood. "Fated to fight, Destined to unite"
