Masked - Chapter 1
OK, not gonna lie… This is majorly Sleep Token inspired… And it is absolutely in homage to the mask kink that I apparently have. I'm really pleased with the world-building on this one. I do love me some sci-fi. Status: WIP
Genre: Science Fiction/Paranormal Romance
Romance: M/F, M/M TW: Violence and Terrorism: The story includes a bombing, politically motivated attacks, attempted murder, weapons, poisoning, physical combat, serious injuries, blood, and descriptions of facial

Bleedin' Bookish - Chapter 1
This is the sequel to Being Bookish and a continuation of Nick and Mae's story, starting with their wedding. A friend of mine, when I said I just wasn’t sure where I wanted to end the story, asked me why it had to end after all, if I’m writing for myself and not concerned about publishing. It’s not like it has to be a discreet book, so this has become the never-ending story, literally, I just keep adding to it. It also, however, has kind of turned into a fanfic of my own char

Touch - Chapter 1
What if you were a touch telepath? What if every time you made physical contact, bare skin to bare skin, with anybody else, be it a handshake or a brush of an arm, you immediately drowned under a crashing wave of all of their feelings, thoughts, and emotions? What if those intrusive thoughts, those momentary ideas that split into our mind how bad we think a beloved person looks that day how we wish maybe we didn't have our child in that brief moment when they’ve been annoying

Ash & Ink - Chapter 1
This is a slightly creepy yet whimsical tale in progress about an odd little bookstore and the curator of special-edition books who may be residing within and might be a little… Well, lonely. Hmm, and the shop might be a little lonely too, come to think of it. I wanted something that was a little Eldritch, a little whimsical, and as is so commonly a theme, I love to explore the idea of what happens when you view yourself as monstrous… Or hell might even be monstrous… But some

So, um... Fan Fic... Oh hai, Lucanis!
So I am old enough,::cough:: to have read some original Spock/Kirk fanfic back when we printed this shit out and published it in comb-bound booklets at Kinkos. Discovering Ao3 was kind of mind-bending for me. To this day, I struggle because most of my stuff is original work, or (like Jeremiah and The Unholy) is only tangentially related to some of the ideas specific works foster in me. I WISH there were something like Ao3 for original works (and if there is, dear lord, please

Muse - Chapter 1
I blame BookTok for this. I spend far too much time around Halloween watching Universal Studios Death Eater rizz videos in slow-mo, scored to Sleep Token songs. I thought of the conceit of what if one of them actually grew interested in a regular season passholder, and what it would look like to develop a relationship with somebody who did not speak or reveal their face? And what would happen when you eventually did have that reveal? I have to admit, Love is Blind is a guilty

Sheep In Wolf’s Clothing - Chapter 1
Oh River... I love this story so hard. It does end up being a larger romance than just the initial FMC and MMC.

Legacy - Chapter 1
“Hey, it’s ok. I just want to get you out of these wet clothes, alright? Let's get all this dirty, bloody crap off. Is that ok?” She was trembling, and the moment felt so fraught that Jeremiah had to actually take a beat so he didn’t simply wrap himself completely around her and probably scare her to death… or make her violently attack him. He certainly knew if she did, given her enhancements and training, he might be seriously fucked; especially with his weapon lying on the

Mixed Signals - Chapter 1
This is the first chapter of Mixed Signals, the second book I completed. It's sort of in the same universe as Being Bookish, but not directly involving that friend group. I adore Noah, though be warned, he is the hot mess of hot messes. Mel is one of my favorite FMCs; she's the one I wish I were sometimes if I had more confidence. And yes, we share a pen name. I have to admit, she had it first. Status: Completed
