The End & The Beginning
Oops! I accidentally summoned a demon! When a crazy man threatens her family if she doesn't kill the man holding them all hostage, Eve comes up with her own plan to keep her family safe. What she doesn't expect is that her sacrifice is only the beginning. Update: This began as a #WITWContest challenge, but became a mild obsession as I fell in love with it. It's still a one-shot but is now a not-so-short short-story with all the answers to the questions you had when reading that first chapter. How did she get there? Where did he take her? And so much more! -- All of my stories feature LGBTQ+ characters: in this novel the MC and demons are all pansexual, all demons/angels are intersex (closest definition possible since they're not human), and much of the supporting cast is also LGBTQ+.

Cycle of the Fallen : Only 100 May Enter, But All of Humanity Will Pay
Every sin leaves a scar, and over time those scars weigh down the world. When humanity's sins overflow, the heavens grow silent and the earth cracks open, releasing demons to walk among us. From billions of lives, only a hundred are chosen. Not for their strength. Not for their worth. Simply because fate has marked them. Their mission is impossible yet clear: defeat the lords of hell and give humanity one final chance. But people are never satisfied. While the chosen fight for survival, the rest of the world questions why they were not the ones selected. Some pray. Some envy. Some hate. And in the end, the greatest danger may not be the demons before them, but the humanity behind them.
Chronicles of the Celestial Void.
Chronicles of the Celestial Void "In a universe woven from divine threads and swallowed by an infinite abyss, the balance of existence hangs by a single, fraying seal." For eons, the celestial realm has known a fragile peace, maintained by the unwavering strength of the Archangels and the ancient seals that keep the Void at bay. But the silence is breaking. Deep within the forgotten abyss, a chilling presence is stirring, and a laughter long thought lost is beginning to echo through the darkness. The cracks in reality are appearing, and the hunger of the Void is growing. As the heavens tremble and the ancient war reignites, a trio of unlikely allies finds themselves caught in the eye of the cosmic storm. Bound by a connection that defies the very laws of fate, they must navigate a landscape of shifting loyalties and terrifying truths. They are warriors, they are companions, and they are the only thing standing between the light and an eternal, consuming nothingness. But in a realm where destiny is preordained and the gods themselves are watching, can anyone truly claim to be free? As the divine sigils dim and the shadows lengthen, they must discover if their bond is strong enough to mend a broken cosmos or if they are simply the next sacrifices to the cycle of destruction. The seals are failing. The Void is watching. And the true story of the universe is only just beginning.Complete

WEAPON "X" (BOOK 1 OF THE "X" TRILOGY)
After a catastrophic government project shatters half the Earth into toxic wastelands, the survivors are divided-those who live behind the towering walls of the new regime... and the mutated, hunted anomalies left to rot beyond it. Deep within a fortified lab lies Nessa Halsten, known only by the codename WEAPON X-a girl born of fire and destruction, with a power so absolute, even death refuses to claim her. For a decade, she's been imprisoned, tortured, and dissected under the cold eye of Rowan Thornhill-the Supreme Commander's heir and a brilliant, sadistic visionary obsessed with reshaping the world through her devastating gift. But when a rogue faction of surviving mutants known as the Shadow Legion storms the facility and frees her, Nessa is thrust into a war she never asked for-one where trust is fragile, and betrayal cuts deeper than any experiment. As she trains to unlock the monstrous force inside her, a new terror looms: a mysterious portal in the Outer Zone, pulsing with alien energy and threatening to consume what's left of Earth. Only Nessa can break the barrier. Only Weapon X can stand between salvation and annihilation. Yet as war breaks out, alliances splinter, and Rowan returns with an army of hybrid abominations, Nessa must choose: remain the weapon they forged... or become the reckoning they never saw coming. They called her a monster. They should have prayed she stayed buried. The real war hasn't even begun yet.
