Author has written 13 stories for Historical, General, and Spiritual.

About Me:

~Favorite Music: synthwave, 80s Italo-Disco, and classic rock ("I've Been In Love Before" by Cutting Crew is a real gem!)

~Political Views: Christian council socialism. The love of money, or desire to profit, is selfish. Goods and necessities are directly earned with work hours.

~Hobbies: Writing historical fiction, alternate history, and programming.

I enjoy writing. I may not be the best writer, but I do make an effort to plan my stories in plot and characterization. Anyways, I hope that all of you enjoy my stories! Feedback is appreciated.

If you want to see more, see my main profile: DanTanner20 on AO3.

Completed Stories:

Survivor From the Gloom: The eldest daughter of the last Tsar, Nicholas II, survives instead of Anastasia like the urban legends say. Soon, she finds more than survival... love.

A Rude Awakening: It is a troubled time: July 2022. The Russian invasion of Ukraine rages on, COVID lingers, and the global economy is faltering. However, no Russian expected their long since deceased Grand Duchesses to rise again, shaking world affairs from top to bottom. (Check AO3 for the mature version!)

Dymphna's Odyssey: In our timeline, the early martyr princess St. Dymphna had a short and tragic life, but what if her mother did not die early? Some things are different, but others remain the same. Now she must find her place as a rebel princess and a woman of faith. (ON HOLD)
