A preview of the novel Mules, Knaves and Close Shaves, now available on Amazon.
Change comes in one way or another to the life of every man. However, when Alan Daele, a rut-stuck travel agent, finds himself whisked away to another world seconds after what's probably the last shower he'll take for a long while, he's about to find out that change just might be a tad overrated.
Dragged into a world so bizarre, it's almost normal; having only his towel as his garb and a razor his weapon, he's forced on a Quest to - of course - defeat an evil Tyrant. After all, for what other reason could he be here in the first place?
With uncanny companions to guide the way, he's also supposed to defeat said tyrant by unleashing the powers of Rock, Paper or Scissors... just because that's apparently how things are done here.
With no one he can trust and a price on his head... come what may, all Alan can do is keep moving forward.
For all he knows, that's his only ticket home....

Fiona is a Beastfolk druid fleeing her abusive master in hopes to reach the border with the Northern lands, where she could find a mage to free her of her slave seal, which gives her owner full control over her life and death. In the woods she's attacked by bandits - and saved by a bear.

Finding Family | A Naruto/LOTR Crossover
Trolling people is Kakashi's way of dealing with his new situation. Running away is Sakura's answer. Sasuke's solution involves hiding, and Naruto just wonders what his Uzumaki luck has landed him in this time around. Middle-earth is a strange new territory, with strange new threats, overprotective elves, and four little elflings who just want to find their way home... wherever that home might be, because like it or not, they're stuck there with no chance of return. Death tends to be final like that, especially when there's no one left to edo tensei oneself back to life. A second chance at life should be a blessing, but trouble somehow always finds Team Seven, whether it comes in the form of strange beasts called orcs or nosy golden-haired elves who think they've returned from the Halls of Mandos too, though perhaps this time they might get a few thousand years of peace before the action begins.

Chimera Awakened
He gave me a feline smile as he stalked toward me. I backed away until my heels hit the stall wall and he took advantage of my surprise by stepping in to me, his body a mere whisper from mine. "That's good, Evelyn," he murmured and brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. My heart was pounding and I knew my face was betraying everything I was feeling. Damn him. I didn't want to feel this excited clench in my stomach. I didn't want to feel this longing for him. "What are you doing?" My voice was shakier than I would've hoped and far too breathy. "Something I've wanted to do for a very long time." *************************************************** Two hundred years after a powerful sorceress eliminated all modern technology and most of Earth's population, the people left behind live happily with no electricity, no motorized machinery - no advanced technology of any kind. However, many of them now possess magical gifts that were once considered myth. Evelyn Kentala, a talented horse trainer, is an empath and uses her gift to understand animals. Her abilities don't allow her to know the emotions of people - or so she thinks. When Broderick Ryan, the next leader of his and Evelyn's province, returns home after being gone for five years, Evelyn discovers she's much more than an empathic horse trainer. Frightening and rare abilities begin to manifest and she's left reeling when she discovers why. Evelyn and Broderick find themselves drawn to each other as they discover the secrets of her unknown past and fight to keep themselves, and their province, safe from those who wish them harm.Complete

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance.

At First Sight
Not your average rejection story. Usually the boy does something stupid - and keeps being stupid - the girl forgives and forgets and gets pulled in by the mate bond. Ignoring all his transgressions because 'the bond said so'. Not this time, sometimes fate gets it wrong and sometimes you grow out of things; like love. Vivian Clark is a mostly normal girl, as normal as you can be when you're more than eccentric mother is the head of a coven of witches. Something that; according to her, is a long standing tradition and more people need their apothecary than Viv realizes. While Vivian practices magic and identifies as a witch, it's more of a religion than a lifestyle in her eyes. She doesn't know there are very real powers laying dormant in her bloodline, and very real creatures that not only lurk in the night but often lurk on her doorstep. Trevor Erikson; a hot shot jock, a playboy, and Mr. Popularity, he could have any girl he wants and often does. Going from one to another and enjoying every minute of it. Despite the fact that he's a werewolf and an alpha's son, he could care less about fated mates or finding a luna for his pack. Which he'll eventually take over at the end of the school year. He doesn't take it too well when his fated mate shows up unannounced, and he does what any asshole would do. He rejects her at first sight. How will the two manage with a rejection floating between them for the remainder of the school year? ************************************** A fast-paced romance with mature scenes, all based in a fantasy world. If that's your vibe this is your story to read. This is my second work and I had to get it out of my brain cause it's all I could think of while writing a completely different book, there will be slow updates.
Midnight Wings
"There's no greater cause to me, no battle more worth fighting, than the one I fight to remain by your side." "Since when were you a poet?" "Oh shut it would you? I'm trying to be romantic here." ----~---- Sorra has cheated death more than a few too many times. In truth, his cling to life and purpose is all but gone. Betrayed, left alone, forgotten about, and left for dead. It's the same story over and over - told in two worlds, three bodies, and four lives. With the demons relighting an age-old war, citizens in terror, tyranny amok in the guilds and the nations that hold them, and everybody wanting their own slice of the action, chaos is becoming the new standard. Of course, Sorra is trapped in a mountain cave network, so these are the least of his worries. But when he finds someone with a story much like his, tossed aside by those she trusted the most, he finds a new purpose in life: revenge, and protecting his sworn ally until death do them part. Perhaps the key to order in the world's madness is a drunken demon with an unquenchable thirst for blood, but that's only IF he hates the world less than he wants there to be a world left for him to hate.
