* Voices of the Old World, book I - Revision phase, will need beta readers later :)
* SGC episodes 8&9 -- 8 is with beta readers. :)
* LAW OF THE DRAGONS - 60% done with the draft.
* Song of the Raven, book I - planning stages
Voices of the Old WorldEloth works as one of ten city-guard captains in the city of Tarvin. Sits on the council, has a say in local politics, even though he doesn't have much sway without making more alliances. He can't seem to do that, though, when he's forced into a pact with the thieves guild. In order to protect the city, he will have to face an impossible decision. Give up that which he swore his life to, and reveal the machines beneath the city - relics of the Old World - or keep it secret, knowing some technology should never be known to the world, and watch his beloved city burn.Tali is the key to awakening the machines beneath the city - the key to finding more old world tech. However, he is equally descendant of the very people who brought the Old World to its knees, crumbling cities and setting alight all that they knew. Aeteli. Monster. He bears the weight of those atrocities, the anxiety of if worries manifesting into the voices of Nothing and No One, haunting him like a plague.The Rebellion needs him though. They need him to find these relics, these hidden, lost knowledges of the Old World, in order to pushback and fight the rampaging Pyrasi Government. Their empire has stretched all over the world by now, threatening sovereignty in their mad pursuit for energy and resources. They will stop at nothing to control everything.Tali will need Eloth's help in locating the Machines before the Pyrasi find them, but Eloth's reluctance becomes his greatest challenge. The man who saved his life and perhaps means something more, only to stand in the way between Tali's duty and something he is unsure of - or afraid - to understand.The voice of Tarvin, of its history, of its future, whispers directly to him: what makes a monster?

Follow Vance and Claymore as they try to resist their feelings while untangling a plot wrought by an old vampire that threatens District 13.Vance is a seasoned vampire and werewolf hunter, while Claymore has only experience with ghouls. Fortunately, night life while working at the cafe means more ghoul hunting than vampire - but it's never off the table.When a typical job goes awry, the hint of a bigger plan is revealed. They could either ignore it and continue their lives - as personal demons and interests offer much to discover - or continue digging and use that information to sell to the highest bidder.After all, coffee alone doesn't pay the bills.This is an adult ( 18+ ) serial, each part is episodic in nature and between 7,000 and 15,000 words. M/M romance is the main plot, HEA (but it IS a long series.)
LAW OF THE DRAGONS (book one in the Echoes of the Old World)
--
Havenrai is ruled by a monarch of dragon shifters, and has been for centuries. Prince Rowyn struggles to fill the shoes of his late father, who had a handful of important laws he’d tried to pass to solidify relations between Havenrai and Nohr. It has less to do with his political knowledge and more to do with a council who believes he is unfit to speak with any authority. As his twin sister and next in line for the throne put it - who could trust a dragon shifter unable to control when they shifted into a dragon?They had many enemies stretching beyond the Iron Continent, and a weak prince was a target on their back.When the enigmatic dragon king of Knobilon, a country situated south of Havenrai, answers the call for negotiations on a permanent alliance with demands that the prince come to Knobilon personally, Rowyn gets his chance to prove he is capable of his duty. For the first time, his sister has faith in him. The Queen is dubious, but Rowyn hopes his efforts will not go unseen should he succeed.And this was something he couldn’t afford to fail.All the while, Caelin Linwood, a human mercenary along with two other companions, had infiltrated King Alroc’s hired guard. His message was clear—King Alroc wasn’t to be trusted, that he was an enemy in hiding. For ten years, a mystery plagued the Countryside and Caelin is determined to prove the dragon king is behind it.The evidence Rowyn’s given is irrefutable, and the journey to Knobilon begins. His allegiance is to his people, and he will have to take up the task of holding accountable a king far more powerful than he, should he find him guilty; but his searching yields other results.The echoes of the past come bounding for all.
