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....

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

Smack-dab, in the Middle of Nowhere (Waste Stories #1)
Free on Wattpad for the first time! In 2017, Duncan P. Pacey's debut post-apocalyptic comedy novel brought a gritty-yet-silly wasteland New Zealand to Amazon Kindle, and now you can enjoy it here. ~~Amazon/Goodreads reviews:~~ "Pratchetty humour with a hack n slash edge." "I absolutely loved Pacey's humor and his descriptions of this tongue-in-cheek twisted world!" "The odd characters are strangely engaging and what seems like a cracked narrative, cleverly comes together to tell a fascinating tale." * * * "Bert'd be damned if this bar did anything other than thrive. Smack-dab would prosper, or she'd shoot folk until it did." Bert is the takes-no-crap bar owner of Smack-dab, a struggling tavern halfway from nowhere to nowhere else. All around her is the barren, post-apocalyptic Waste, a terrifying place plagued by villainous bandits, ravenous monsters, and Things that go bump in the night (and also eat you). The Waste is in turmoil. Lord Ash has been overthrown, replaced by a terrifyingly powerful giant hell-bent on taxing anyone and everyone that can help fund his devious master plan. Smack-dab is threatened with total destruction, but Bert has a plan of her own. Can she rally enough help to fend off the bandits? Strange and hilarious, "Smack-dab, in the Middle of Nowhere" is the fresh new face of the post-apocalypse, even if that face has more creepy mutant eyes than you expected.Complete
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.
