Dare to dream. Dare to believe. Dare to embrace your legacy.
In the enchanting land of The Vale, the grand city of Pivot stands as a beacon of innovation where scientific progress clashes with the now-dwindling beliefs in magic the place once held.
Just outside of Pivot, 17-year-old Pascal has spent his life at The Skystead Home for Orphaned Children. Life outside of the orphanage seems ceaselessly interesting, and shielded from the rest of the world, he wants nothing more than to explore. Already puzzled by unanswered questions about his past, Pascal’s concern deepens as he learns about a grim mystery of local children’s disappearances.
In pursuit of finding his place in life, Pascal is joined by Paloma—a street-savvy girl and former gang leader with a tragic past—and Pierrot—a silent, enigmatic companion. Together, the unlikely trio begins to sneak out of the orphanage to experience the one place that still embraces magic: the welcoming carnival.
As secrets come to light and begin to unravel, the truth unveils hidden strengths within each of the three young companions. Their fates become entangled with the lost souls, leading them to a terrifying truth that threatens the very foundation of their world. Their friendships are put to the test as they confront demons both within and outside themselves, drawing them closer to a sinister plot that can tear at the very fabric of their reality.
Before they know it, their paths become profoundly intertwined with the fate of the missing children.
The Harlequin’s Legacy is a gripping tale of adventure, friendship, and self-discovery. Pascal, Paloma, and Pierrot trust in their inner courage and resilience in order to reach their true potential despite trials and tribulations. This story encourages everyone to dare to dream, to believe in themself, and embrace the legacy that awaits them.
Excerpt:
Pascal was late. Again. He stepped quickly over fallen logs and ducked low beneath swooping evergreen branches. Though the wilderness was dense in this part of the forest, he navigated it with remarkable ease. His footsteps as light as a whisper over treacherous mossy rocks. With each exhale, misty clouds formed in the shake of his breath, the biting cold of winter creeping all the way through the thickness of his coat. He pulled his collar tighter to forbid the chill from entering even more.
Yet, as he walked, his mind strayed from his course, far from the natural beauty surrounding him.
He muttered under his breath as he walked over the gnarled roots, every step a cautious dance. He slipped and slid in his frequent eff orts to stoop under even more pointy twigs of evergreen that sought to block his path, to grab him as he passed. Pascal had taken this route countless times before, and today, that thought was a frustrating one.
After spending the majority of his life at the orphanage, he wanted nothing more than to leave, to see the world, to taste all that lay unseen and undiscovered. He would soon have that opportunity. Yet, knowing that he’d soon be graduating also left him uneasy.
Can I even handle surviving on my own? He wondered. I´ve always had the comfort of Mistress Alma and the orphanage to look after me.
The bittersweet longing left him conflicted and a little in secure, truth be told. How would he know when he was ready? What threshold would he finally cross?
The forest, usually a great source of comfort and solace, felt somehow different on this day. It seemed to be echoing his inner turmoil, causing him to lose all sense of time.
The sun stretched over the tree line of the Quiet Wilds, reminding him that his walk should have ended about fifteen minutes ago. He picked up his pace.
Great. The last thing I wanted to do was disappoint Mistress Alma. And miss dinner.
The final approach was quick, as he nearly ran the remaining half-mile. Once he spotted the entrance, he slipped in with stealth. The mess hall was already full. He’d have to wait for the perfect moment to sneak inside.
“Have you seen Pascal?”
Whispers spread through the orphanage’s mess hall like wildfire as the children ate their typical meal for a Wednesday night: potatoes and vegetable stew. A classic, one that Pascal didn’t want to miss.
When he peered around the corner, he spotted his friends Clarion and Danton exchanging a knowing glance. Surely, they were assuming he’d been caught up in his exploration outside the orphanage grounds. Which he had. In fact, that was exactly what he had done.
His eyes wandered down the table to Tania, one of the older girls at the orphanage, just as she was motioning for Mistress Alma. Damn. Of course, Tania would notice his absence. She never knew how to keep quiet about these sorts of things.
Removing her pince-nez glasses, Mistress Alma scanned over the mess hall. She rubbed at her eyes, which seemed to be sore at the day´s end, a fact that proved fortunate for Pascal. In her scan, she’d somehow managed to Miss Tania’s raised hand. She circled the room slowly and met children along the wall, all beaming in her presence.
Then, she turned on her heel to stride toward the kitchen, her simple brown dress and jacket flowing behind her.
Poor Tania was stretching her arm ever-higher, looking fit to burst from her efforts, but still, Mistress Alma did not see. That was a relief. Though, the win was short-lived; it was just a matter of time before she realized Pascal wasn´t present and that he was late again.
Once she disappeared into the kitchen, Pascal exhaled, his eyes glinting. This was the perfect opportunity. Yet, when he glanced around the mess hall at the tame expressions the children wore, he couldn’t suppress the urge to liven up their evening a bit more. After all, he’d been working on a few tricks that he could hardly wait to show them. Why not come in with a bang? He’d probably get in some amount of trouble anyway…
He walked around to the main mess hall entrance and burst through the doors with as much dramatic flair as he could muster. He flipped into a handstand, pressing his palms against the floor, and then strutted through the mess hall on his hands.
The room erupted in laughter. Pascal could never do things quietly.

Excerpt from “Claiming Kaden” by Celia Breslin
The station’s vid screen flared to life, blocking her view. A handsome and angry male face filled the space. The brightest amber eyes she’d ever seen glared at her.
“Stop shooting,” the man growled.
The face disappeared.
“Who the hell was that, Athena?” A Zyphorran? She ignored the gorgeous stranger and kept firing at the battleship.
The face reappeared. Dark brows furrowed over his blazing whiskey eyes. “Desist, woman!”
“Desist this, you jerk!” She shot at the enemy. Continued to miss. “Ugh!”
She didn’t care how handsome he seemed, with his pale, silvery blue skin and spiky dark hair, and those glowing eyes which looked like they could melt a girl’s panties.
No one told her what to do, and no one would force her into servitude.
Never again.
The green vessel took out two enemy ships before it planted itself in front of Calie’s station.
Angry Guy’s face filled her screen. “I’m trying to help you. Stop firing!”
Oh… Cranky Guy was the pilot of the green ship. Possibly a good guy? Calie lifted her hands away from the controls.
As she watched, he took out every single destroyer then turned his attention to the warship.
“Shield at eight point seven percent,” Athena announced. “Hm…”
“What do you mean, hm? Should we head for an escape pod?”
“This is most intriguing. And disconcerting,” Athena murmured, not answering her escape question.
“What, that guy’s amazing battle prowess?”
“No. He infiltrated and took over my communication system to speak with you.”
Okay, now Calie was doubly impressed with good-looking Mister Frowny, because Athena was a powerful genius. No one bested her.
Calie plastered her palms on the controls. “Let’s help him kick that warship’s ass.”
“Don’t you dare,” their unknown ally barked, audio only.
“Are you eavesdropping on us? Rude!”
“The unknown male is attempting to take control of all station systems, Calie.”
“Cut it out, whoever you are,” Calie warned him. She aimed one of the station laser cannons at his ship.
“Who I am? I’m the male who’s going to disable and commandeer the warship, then eliminate everyone on board it while you sit on your pretty ass and stay out of my way.”
He thinks I’m pretty? She shook off the frisson skating down her spine. “Screw you. I’m blowing up that warship. Athena, take it out.”

Excerpt: The Spiderboys of Aranae, Volume 1 Anthology by Glenn Thomas + giveaway
The Spiderboys of Aranae, Volume 1
by Glenn Thomas
by Glenn Thomas
10-01-2024
Genre: Science Fiction
To the people of Earth, it is generally agreed that there is no sight more extraordinary than that of their human cousins on the distant colony of Aranae jumping onto the backs of giant spiders and riding off as if going to a picnic.
To the people of Aranae, it means freedom. But for The Provenance, their Earth rulers, one of their colonies entertaining thoughts of liberty makes them uncomfortable.
In the first three Spiderboy adventures comprising Volume 1, we follow the sixteen-year-old runaway, Haley as she discovers for herself the meaning of freedom.
1. Haley’s First Spider Bite.
Billionaire’s daughter Haley Morgan joins forces with an unlikely ally in an escaped convict on a quest to track down and apprehend a dangerous outlaw while at the same time dodge the spiderboy search party sent to catch Haley and return her home. And as in all young-woman-joins-up-with-escaped-prisoner stories, things are bound to get out of hand.
2. Malady in Savoy.
Continuing her quest, Haley takes a job as a showgirl in the city of Savoy where she becomes the object of mistaken identity, gets caught up in interstellar intrigue and falls for a roguish fugitive agent from Earth. Shape-shifting does have its drawbacks.
3. Along Came a Spider.
Haley endures a marathon battle of survival with a monstrous Trap Door spider that is determined to pin the girl on its venom-laced fangs.

FIGURED HE HAD only two, three hours tops to live out here on The
Frying Pan. Jabez Loomis squinted at the binary suns overhead and could
almost make out the accretion disc as the larger yellow sun’s matter was
being sucked up by its white dwarf partner. Perhaps it wasn’t a good
idea to bring that skimmer down over such a desolate and barren
landscape as the Flats, but the opportunity for escape presented itself,
and Loomis did not let it pass. And being the impulsive type, where
exactly he brought down the skimmer and kill his guards was secondary to
his regaining freedom. He looked out over the intense whiteness of the
alkali flats surrounding him and thought perhaps he had acted too
hastily. Whether you call it the “Frying Pan” or the “Flats,” this is
not where you want to be at midday in summer on Aranae.
Miles away, a mountain range guarded the border of the dry lake. Loomis was sure there might be settlements in that direction, maybe Salt Lick. A small spaceport was in Salt Lick. Loomis judged his chances of seeing if a scoot or another skimmer might come down nearby, which would point him in the right direction. Maybe hire a scoot and get off world. Take his business elsewhere. He might be in for a long wait. Space travel to and from Aranae was restricted like so many other regulations imposed on them by Earth. He’d steal a craft but didn’t know how to fly one. At any rate, Loomis didn’t want to stick around. Seeing himself frying on this alkali skillet didn’t appeal to him, nor did the thought of the law catching up to him—again.
Loomis shuffled over the Flats towards the mountains, hefting a backpack bearing the emblem of the Grandville Penitentiary stitched into its fabric. The number 801149 was stenciled in black over his heart on his dirty yellow jumpsuit. Behind him, about fifty yards back, a wrecked desert skimmer lay in the trench it had carved out in the salt when it went down. On closer inspection, one would find three twisted bodies in the smoldering wreckage. Loomis knew that the wispy pillar of smoke was a beacon for miles around in every direction to anyone with a pair of eyes and a trace of curiosity—just the sort of attention he wanted to avoid.
Loomis quickened his pace, thought better of it, and slowed down. Better pace yourself. Don’t wear yourself out so fast. He peered at the horizon to his left, unsure what that black speck might be in the distance. Heat waves rising from the hardpan distorted its shape, but it did seem out of place in this wasteland. One would expect salt in abundance, but anything black in appearance out here was worth looking into. Loomis shifted his path toward the speck and couldn’t help but pick up his pace despite the scorching suns that bore down on him.

Glenn Thomas’s life path has been a meandering one, setting new life goals at various points along the way, gaining knowledge in art, photography, filmmaking, driving commercial vehicles, and ultimately, writing both screenplays and prose. As a self-described “high-functioning daydreamer,” Glenn often finds contentment in self-imposed isolation, in conversations with an eclectic array of characters and personalities in universes of his creation. Once in a while, he writes their stories into scripts and novels to share with the world.
From a young age, those who spent time with Glenn quickly recognized his remarkable gift of daydreaming. According to his first-grade report card, his teacher, Mrs. Haslett, wrote, “Glenn is on cloud nine.” With that ringing endorsement from one of his earliest admirers, Glenn has made his circuitous path to this time and place to make some practical use of this often-misunderstood gift. With a nostalgic smile to his past, Glenn created his film production company, Cloud 9 Filmworks, shortly after completing film school in 2005, which has now expanded in 2024 to Cloud 9 Press to oversee his books.
Glenn lives in the Los Angeles area, and when he’s not writing, he works as a driver for a major motion picture studio where the real money’s at. His first self-published work was a series of short science fiction stories called The Spiderboys of Aranae, released in 2015 and revised in 2024. Also, in 2024, the first book in a science fiction series titled The Stars Rain Down debuted. Set in the same universe as Spiderboys, SRD has strong connections with the earlier work, and fans of one book will enjoy the other.

Book Review: Shadow of Death (Life After Death Day Book 4) by Donna Augustine
Shadow of Death (Life After Death Day Book 4)
by Donna Augustine
December 13, 2024
Pages: 254
The darkness within me grows stronger every day, threatening to consume the person I once was. I crave the company of Kicks and the others I love, and yet fear to let them close to the monster I am becoming.
So when Death calls in her bargain and tells me to go to Scotland, I’m eager to end the debt I owe her. But her vengeance is sure to bring more pain and heartache. Instead of the healing I seek, I’ll surely form more enemies and dole out more death. The end of this bargain might destroy any hope of a new beginning…
Donna Augustine wraps up the Life After Death Day series with a thrilling and unpredictable finale. Just when I thought I had the plot figured out, it would take another surprising turn, keeping me hooked until the very end.
Death is the character you are trying to figure out until the very end. As much as she tries to mimic human behaviors it is something she has yet to accomplish. Kicks and Piper’s relationship is so complicated but in a way that leaves you wanting more.
I loved how this book concluded the series, though I feel there’s still room for more to this story. That said, it feels like a fitting end. The emotional depth and twists made it a memorable read, and I can’t wait to see what Donna Augustine has in store for us next!

Winter Solstice
By Nicola Solvinic
The sun god is gone
He stripped the leaves when he went
Trampled the grasses
And swept into the bronze sunset
The winter god is here
The stag-horned watcher
Known only by cloven tracks in the snow
And the weight of his gaze under snow-spangled lashes
Heavy twitching branches of green
Once obscured the moon in summer
That seething night
Of cicadas, crickets, bullfrogs singing
Night’s perfectly still now
Except for the crunch of snow
And the moon burns through skeletons of bare trees
With the thousand flickers of dead stars
Underground, curled in thick earth
Prey dreams of summer days,
He will dig it up, drag it, bellowing and twitching
To the surface
In the red and white field
Prey races across the snows
He will overtake it, felling it
In a tangle of broken legs and sinew
He is the hunter in both seasons, king of these woods
Seething and silent
Searching out his precious sacrifices
Sunless, in shadow, he reigns.

Genre: Supernatural Mystery, Serial Killer Thriller
Publisher: Berkley
Hardcover: 384 pages
ISBN-10: 0593639723
ISBN-13: 978-0593639726
A hypnotic, sinister debut mystery about a seemingly good cop who is secretly the daughter of a notorious serial killer.
Anna Koray escaped her father’s darkness long ago. When she was a girl, her childhood memories were sealed away from her conscious mind by a controversial hypnosis treatment. She’s now a decorated sheriff’s lieutenant serving a rural county, conducting an ordinary life far from her father’s shadow.
When Anna kills a man in the line of duty, her suppressed memories return. She dreams of her beloved father, his hands red with blood, surrounded by flower-decked corpses he had sacrificed to the god of the forest.
To Anna’s horror, a serial killer emerges who is copying her father – and who knows who she really is. Is her father still alive, or is this the work of another? Will the killer expose her, destroying everything she has built for herself? Does she want him to?
But as she haunts the forest, using her father’s tricks to the hunt the killer, will she find what she needs most…or lose herself in the gathering darkness?
Excerpt:
“I didn’t mean for you to find out like this, Elena.”
A soft voice echoed from the other side of the house. I turned my gaze to a pile of rotted fallen beams. My dad sat there quietly in the dark, perched as he would in a tree stand in the forest. His hat was low over his head, and his rifle was slung over his shoulder.
“I didn’t mean for you to find out at all.”
I whimpered.
He sighed.
“Are you a monster?” I demanded. The word didn’t seem adequate. “Monster” sounded like a word for fairy tales. Not my beloved dad.
He looked at the bodies arranged around the room. “Maybe.”
He stretched his legs and slid down the pile. I backed up against the rusted stove. Liquid sloshed, and something cold and wet splashed down my side. I recognized the smell immediately: curdled blood. A metal bucket turned over and crashed on the floor, spilling the rest of the blood over my sneakers.
I was frozen. I saw the outline of the door, and I should’ve run. But I was rooted in place, as motionless and helpless as any of these women.
My dad loomed over me. His face was strange, his eyes too dark and still. This man who stood over me was not my dad. He was some changeling who had come to take him, leaving an evil shell in his place. A monster.
“What have you done with my dad?” I croaked.
He reached out to touch my cheek. I flinched.
“Your dad is gone.” His voice was a low hiss, like rain in a gutter.
And I knew then what I saw. It was my dad’s Forest God, the one he called Veles, dark and terrible and devouring everything under this roof. He wanted me. I didn’t know if he meant to consume me like those other women or if the Forest God was wanting to do to me as he was doing to my dad, wearing my skin like his own . . .
The door crashed open. The Forest God spun, reaching for his rifle, but he was tackled by a snarling dog. Percival.
An armed shadow stood in the doorway. Agent Parkes. “Freeze,” he ordered.
The Forest God had no intention of obeying anyone’s orders. He wrestled with the dog, and the rifle went off. A new hole was blown in the roof, and I was partially blinded by muzzle flash and deafened by a gunshot in a closed space.
“Drop it!” Parkes commanded. His voice was faint and tinny over the ringing in my ears.
The Forest God scrambled away from the dog, kicking Percival in the chest. He sighted his rifle on the dog.
I screamed.
The Forest God hesitated for an instant—only an instant.
It was enough.
More gunfire, muzzle flashes. The Forest God tumbled across the floor. Parkes advanced on him, shouting, his shoes slipping in the blood. Percival was growling, clamping my dad’s right hand in his jaws. The rifle spun out on the floor, the barrel skidding up against my sneakers. It was hot, and it singed the rubber of my shoe.
“Put it down!” Parkes yelled. The man who had once been my father had gotten his hunting knife loose from his belt and was slashing at Percival. He’d pulled himself up into a half crouch, dripping on the floor, snarling like a cornered animal.
“Put it down now!”
I knew Parkes was going to kill my dad.
Trembling, I reached down for the gun at my feet.

Deck the Halls with Books: The Coal Elf (The Coal Elf Chronicles Book One) by Maria DeVivo + giveaway
Holiday Recipe – Rainbow Cookies
I love to bake! And while I am partial to quick and easy recipes (I mean, who isn’t?), sometimes the more complicated ones have the biggest payoff!
One of my absolute FAVORITE cookie recipes is an old Italian one that was passed to me from my mother—RAINBOW COOKIES! My mother was a wizard in the kitchen, and even with her amazing culinary skills, she only made rainbow cookies one time a year: Christmastime! So naturally, growing up I equated rainbow cookies with the holiday season, not realizing that they were readily available at any other time of the year at any given Italian bakery in New York.
If you like jelly, and almond, and chocolate, then this is for you… but I warn you, the recipe and process of the recipe is not to be taken lightly! But once you’ve mastered the art of the rainbow cookie, you know you’ve elevated your baking game to that whole new level!
Good luck, godspeed, May the Force Be With You, Valar Morghulis, It is Known, This is the Way…

DeVivo’s Rainbow Cookies
Materials needed:
Three bowls
Electric mixer
Parchment paper
Three large cookie/baking pans
Small bowl for egg whites
Ingredients needed:
1. 8 oz. can of Almond Filling
2. 6 sticks of butter (softened)
3. 2 cups sugar
4. 8 eggs
5. 2 teaspoons almond extract
6. 4 cups flour
7. Red food coloring
8. Green food coloring
9. 1 jar apricot preserves
10. 1 jar raspberry preserves
11. 1 package Toll House mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Oven at 350
2. Separate the egg whites into a small bowl. Beat with the mixer until they are thick and stiff
3. Mix the yolks, almond filling, softened butter, almond extract & sugar in one of the large bowls
4. Beat in the flour to the mixture
5. Fold in the whites to the mixture a little at a time. This is a very gentle process!
6. Separate the mixture into three parts – so this way you have batter in each of the three bowls. It won’t be exact, so you’ll have to eyeball it. It helps if the three bowls are the same or at least the same size.
7. Leave one bowl WHITE. Use the food coloring to color the others (one red, one green)
8. Grease one of the pans and line it with parchment paper. GREASE the paper.
9. Pour the white batter onto the pan and spread it out like a giant rectangle shape. Try to have it even with no “breaks” in the batter.
10. Bake for 15 minutes
11. When done, flip the contents of the pan onto another pan (CAREFULLY) and remove the parchment paper. Spread the apricot preserves on top. You will really only use half the jar for this.
12. Do the same with the other colors. Grease sheets and even out the batter. Bake for 15 minutes each.
13. When the second batter is finished, flip that on top of the layer with the apricot preserves (CAREFULLY)! Remove the parchment paper and spread the raspberry preserves. (again, probably half the jar).
14. Finally, the third color goes on top of the raspberry preserves. Leave the parchment paper on and press down to hold everything together.
15. Put in refrigerator overnight.
16. Heat up the chocolate chips so you have a spread. Remove the parchment paper from the tray and spread the chocolate on top. **you don’t want the chocolate to be on too thick, or else it will be hard to cut
17. Back in refrigerator for about an hour (give or take) to let the chocolate harden and settle.
18. Cut into cookie squares and serve.
19. ***the edges might be messy, but that’s ok. I make a separate cookie bucket I call “THE REJECTS”. Reject cookies are still delicious! They just aren’t pretty to look at.
***FUN FACT: For years, I used wax paper instead of parchment paper. It was what my mother used. Thanks, Mom, for putting us in a potentially life-threatening situation. You were always good for that. Miss you, Red. <3

Survival story of passion and love
August Vallory had it all. A modeling career, a man he loved, and the extended family he’d acquired in the business. Then the world he knew was torn away when the plane he was on crashed en route to a photo shoot.
Lost in the Alaskan wilderness, August doesn’t stand a chance.
No sane man would choose to live in the Alaskan bush unless he had something to hide. And Keegan Brooks has secrets darker than night, more dangerous than wolves, more brutal than an Alaskan winter.
Every day was a fight for his life until he stumbled upon a downed plane with a lone survivor. Now it’s no longer just Keegan’s life teetering on the edge of survival.
It’s his heart.
And be sure to check out the Christmas novella follow-up with the Wild characters- 63 Days Later: A Holiday Tail
Excerpt
The eyes watching August from the tree line were not blue. They weren’t even human.
They belonged to a brown-furred monster, with long black claws.
Snow crunched, and piles were ejected from under the stretcher with the forward movement. Night had already fallen under the trees, creating shadows that swallowed the bear as it moved. There were times it disappeared so long August thought he’d imagined it. Then the golden highlights in the animal’s fur would snap it out of the dark.
“Keegan.”
The stretcher bumped a rock and August was jostled hard enough to move his leg. He clenched his jaw. Sweat stung his eyes, and nausea welled in his stomach. It withdrew, and the bear picked up its pace.
Wind tossed up particles of ice. August coughed, trying to clear his throat but it was too dry. “Keegan.”
Could the man hear him? His heavy breaths were more labored than August remembered. How long had he been asleep? How long had the bear been following them?
And if he yelled, would it charge?
August had to take the chance. He put more force behind the man’s name, and everything came to a stop. The ice had made chunks in Keegan’s beard and clung to the fur covering his hands. More had packed the folds of his pants. The edge of his boots was swallowed by what covered the ground.
“You okay?”
The bear froze, its body a mass merging into the thick trees. Was it gone? Dark eyes glittered. Then slowly, as August’s eyes adjusted, the outline of the beast reformed. It had crouched down, body tense. A loaded spring.
“Bear.” The word wasn’t much more than an exhale.
The Keegan made a slow turn and at the same time dropped the rucksacks he carried. By the time he had his back to August, the rifle was in his hands.
“Two o’clock,” August said. Keegan took a step, blocking August’s view. Then another, clearing the way. Shadows pooled in the empty space around the tree trunks. Keegan scanned, turning his whole body, rifle raised. When he’d made a full circle, he put down the gun.
“It was there,” August said.
Keegan knelt and loaded the satchels he’d been carrying onto the stretcher.
“It was there. I saw it.”
“I believe you.” He tightened everything down.
“I swear, I swear, it was that fucking grizzly.”
Keegan put a hand on August’s shoulder. “I said, I believe you.” As Keegan stood, a massive brown shape rose up behind him.
The scream got caught in August’s throat, but it was too late. One huge paw came down, catching Keegan in the side, sending him airborne. There was a clatter of metal and wood and Keegan rolled out of sight. The bear raised its head and the air shook with its voice.

Adrienne Wilder (trans-male – he/him) is an author of gay contemporary and speculative fiction and an artist of all things monster. He was born and bred in GA and moved to NC in 2013 where he lives with his partner, multiple dogs (one has atomic farts), cats (one of those also atomic farts), and lots of corals (although not known, statistics suggest that at least one of them probably—you guessed it—atomic farts)
He lives to create new worlds and the people in them. Several of his books have been best sellers both nationally and internationally.
He writes original stories with powerful characters and emotion as well as a fast-paced plot. His goal isn't just to deliver a good story but to take the reader into the story and let them experience the characters as if they are right there with them.
While his books have a strong romantic element, some are not traditional romances. In fact, he'd like to think there is nothing traditional about them. And the stories he paints are done outside the lines of traditional genres.
One of his favorite things is to push the boundaries of what makes a story by delivering the unexpected and maybe even changing the perspective of the reader. His characters are more often than not beautifully flawed; they're not always the good guy, and make mistakes. Their stories will take dark turns which, in the end, make the light at the end of the tunnel all the brighter.
If you're looking for something different, exciting, and unique, his books are for you.
He has recently been creating a lot of artwork for his stories. You can see SFW ones on his Instagram and NSFW ones on his Patreon. He is creating a Nox graphic novel available for patrons only right now.

A chambermaid bound to her family's prestigious palace legacy. A King harboring a secret bound to shatter his world.
Leader Reneah Diaz, the unparalleled head of the palace chambermaids and valets, was a figure of admiration and respect. Her family’s legacy amongst the staff was not just coveted, but revered. But when the grieving Fae King returns to Atlantis with the Heir in tow, the human chambermaid breaks all the rules and forms an unexpected and unique friendship with father and daughter. This friendship, unlike any other, born in the most unlikely of circumstances, opens up a world of secrets and revelations about his mating bond with the deceased Queen Neleah, secrets that not a soul alive knows of.
A hidden shame plagues the Fae King, a secret so rare that it could shatter the perceptions Neleah and Cathan carefully built. But when undeniable chemistry flourishes with his human chambermaid, he feels something he never dared to dream of—something worth risking his reputation and his daughter’s.
In a world where palace politics expressly forbids relations between the royal family and the palace staff, and where relations between humans and Fae are incredibly taboo, Cathan’s unusual request for Reneah to take residence in the royal wing does not go unnoticed by her superior or her subordinates. And when their affections become something more, Reneah and Cathan must face a heart-wrenching decision: distance themselves or risk destroying her family’s legacy and his reputation forever.
