- I used to focus on poetry, but now I mostly write historical short stories and fantasy (usually in the romance section).

- Any type of feedback is welcome, especially constructive criticism! :) There's no better way for a writer to improve than with feedback.

- If you're looking for a story by me and it's been removed, please look below to see if it is one of those that will be re-posted with edits or under a new name.

Removed Stories (updated 5.22.2020)

Precipitous: This story was mostly completed, but I opted to remove it as it's undergoing major rewrites in the first portion of the story. It will also be reposted as 'The Princess's Advisor'. Once it's been rewritten, I'll be posting the second draft. The characters won't change, but I will be adding more depth to the political structure and the magic lore.''

Sorcerer of the City: After some debate with myself, I chose to remove this from this site and post it elsewhere. It simply wasn't getting any views on here or any feedback, so it didn't make sense to have it up. I'm not sure if the readers here just didn't like it - if the characters sucked, my writing was too detailed for the fantasy genre, or why it was getting so little traffic. As a result, I just chose to remove it altogether and if I end up adjusting it once I receive some feedback to make it more appealing, maybe I will repost it with rewrites on the site.

Fog At Midnight: I wrote myself into a corner in this one after 60 pages and after some review feedback, I chose to rewrite the entire story and once it's at least halfway completed, I'll repost it with the rewrites. I'm hoping to separate it into three different parts so that I'm not relying on flashbacks at the beginning of parts or integrating them better into the story because they were really freaking confusing having them within the chapters as I did.

A Secret of Wonder: I chose to remove this one, as it's more of just a fun smut romance that I was writing back in 2013. It got some lash back for it being inaccurate since I had initially posted it under "Historical Romance," as well, which was a fair criticism and was an error in my part at categorizing it that way. In any case, I've decided to remove it as I haven't touched it in five years.

Things loved, things protected: This story was written sometime in 2008 and was centered around an abusive marriage that ends in an abusive divorce where the mother is trying to protect her children from the father's violent nature and in hiring a lawyer, falls in love with him. In any case, there were so many problems with this story. The children sounded like they were in their teens instead of in primary school, it moved really fast, and the abuse scenes were cringe. I don't have any plans to post it again or write something similar.

Posted Stories Undergoing Rewrites (updated 4.2.2020)

Landscape: This is undergoing a current rewrite. Lirael's name was changed to Kleia and there were several other character changes. Keshena and Lirael's relationship has changed dramatically. The Mary Sue-esque abuse/rape scenes will all be removed to make room for something more sinister regarding Uncle Mikhail's attentions towards Lirael. The names of all the territories have been changed, as well as the continent. Some names were removed, such as the Day Guardian and Night Guardian - I felt these were unnecessary. Whereas Lirael's time spent with her aunt and uncle only spanned over 30 pages and then she was moved to the orphanage, I may be extending it and removing the orphanage scene altogether for something different, which will eliminate Endera as a character altogether. Gregor Nelson will have also have a different role entirely in the story.

Big changes! But I honestly think it will make the world come together better and will be preferable altogether. I haven't gotten to doing an outline for the second and third part of the story, but I have a feeling there are going to be some major revisions done to where entire scenes are removed. For right now, part one revisions are going well and I expect it to be around 80-100 pages rather than the 40ish pages that it was in the original.

Enchantments of Another World:I decided to re-write this with an entirely different title, characters, and plot, but with the same premise of a girl being transported to another world. This one will be titled 'In His Dimension.'

Making it possible: I've always intended to rewrite this, but I really think I will have to re-write this entirely from scratch. The story had always been intended as dark fantasy and inspired from faerie myths in Ireland/UK, so I think I will be reworking this differently and fleshing out the relationships somewhat differently and re-adjusting the main conflict so it makes more sense and giving the elemental demons more history and characteristics so they're not so basic.

Upcoming Stories

Carnal: This is a dark fantasy/smut novella based on "Beauty and the Beast" fairy tale following a female warrior who becomes trapped in the castle of a mythical demon. At this time, I have 50 pages written up and it's about 3/4 completed. Once it's finished and I've done edits, I'll be posting each chapter once a week.

The Games We Play: Set in the modern-day dating scene, a playboy and a playgirl intend to use each other for sex, but find themselves falling in love and getting ensnared in each other's traps. This is a short, three-part story, and is about halfway complete.

Something Precious: Similar to Know Thyself, this revolves around demonology and a demon that is watching over a girl who is slowly killing herself with drugs and alcohol. This is just a one-shot and just needs to undergo some edits before posting.

Between Vice and Virtue: Set in colonial America in the Shenandoah Valley, this revolves around the settlers invasion into Shawnee territory and focuses on a widowed woman who is kidnapped by the Natives and is integrated into their society after being used as a slave when she begins to pick up their language and ways. This is a current passion project of mine that I just started and I've written up the first few pages, but need to do more research before I get fully started writing it.
