So, as I expected, I didn't get around to posting a short story, though I have an amazing idea for next month now which I will start writing tomorrow. Anyway, I felt guilty about not having a story ready to post, so I decided to post this instead, to go into more detail about the … Continue reading Q&A: Hierarchy in Nocturna

Short Story: Nocturna – The Death of a King
Hi all! I’m surprised I got this finished in time. I wrote this to get more in the mood for rewriting NOCTURNA next month. It’s the story of Alexei’s father’s assassination, and Alexei’s feelings towards it which was briefly mentioned in the book, but I always wanted to write a story about it. Content and … Continue reading Short Story: Nocturna – The Death of a King
Character Profiles: Concubines and their Children
Hi all! As I'm rewriting Nocturna, I realized I never really introduced the concubines and their children in the Second Palace (the harem/seraglio) like I did Valon, Alexei, Di, and Julian. Of course, this won't be as in-depth since there are so many, but I wanted to give a brief overview of their names, birthplaces, … Continue reading Character Profiles: Concubines and their Children
Short Story: Nocturna – Father’s Day
Okay, so I recently found this extra scene I wrote for Nocturna way back in 2015 for Father's Day, a year before the book was even published. I had posted this on my website already, but it was hidden away and no one saw it. Including me, since I forgot I posted it. So I'm … Continue reading Short Story: Nocturna – Father’s Day

Book Preview: Beastly Deception
Chapter One “Mother? Father?” Iliana questioned, confused, hovering over her bedridden twin as she watched her parents carefully. They stood in the doorway, faces pinched. Her father’s chestnut hair was mussed, looking strange compared to the neat, slicked-back style he usually wore. Her mother’s green eyes were puffy, as though she had been crying. It … Continue reading Book Preview: Beastly Deception
