Hi, all! Here's another short story! I finished this at 7 in the morning after staying up all night so wow, do I need sleep. I used a prompt this time, though for the life of me I can't remember where I got it from. It's a tad long (as my short stories tend to … Continue reading Short Story: The Protected Ones

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
Short Story: Eternally Yours
Let me tell you, I never knew nobility titles were so complicated before this and I have firmly decided I will never use titles outside of king, queen, prince, and princess again. (Just watch me do it again next year. I can already feel it). Anyway, this is a short story based on two characters … Continue reading Short Story: Eternally Yours
Short Story: Lost at Sea
Hi all! Happy early Easter to those who celebrate. And I hope everyone is doing well despite everything going on. Here’s another short story — fantasy romance again, but this time it’s M/M instead of F/F like my first short story was. I actually meant to post it last month but it wasn’t finished in … Continue reading Short Story: Lost at Sea
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
Short Story: Midnight Madness
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Ironically though, as those who follow me on Twitter might already know, this short story is probably my only piece of writing I will ever write that will have no love, of any form, in it. It's just typical that this is what I would post on this holiday, of all … Continue reading Short Story: Midnight Madness
Short Story: The Princess Vigilante
Hi all! Here's my very first short story, both on this website and, you know, ever. It's based on a story prompt by Writing Prompts, who I highly recommend following on Tumblr or Instagram. And now, without further ado, here is my short story: Story Prompt: To escape the life of her abusive parents, a … Continue reading Short Story: The Princess Vigilante
Jewels of the Deep Sneak Peek
Here's the new short story I've started writing! I've put The Infernal King on hold recently to make time for this (and maybe a couple more short stories so I can publish an anthology), but my next novel will come eventually. This short story is mermaid themed, because of course I'd have to write about … Continue reading Jewels of the Deep Sneak Peek
Writing: Embarrassing Stories
Whoo! I was finally able to get back into my routine last night! I finished a whole chapter of my third book! Sadly, I'm only ever able to write on weekends... So yeah, not a lot ever gets done during the school year, especially now that I'm taking Latin. (I am dreadful at learning languages, … Continue reading Writing: Embarrassing Stories
Writing: Training for the Real World
SPOILER ALERT.
“Alexei, where are you taking me?” Valon asked, following his husband down the road. He quickened, moving to Alexei’s side and shuffling awkwardly as he glanced at the citizens bowing to them. Alexei held back a snort, motioning for their three guards to encircle them.
“Here, my love,” Alexei replied, stopping in front of a large, plain polished limestone building. It had many square windows and rose three stories high. Thin lines of shapes like triangles or circles or just thicker solid lines of green, blue, and red were painted over the white blocks at the base and on the roof.
“What is this?” Valon questioned confused. The courtyard in front of the building was empty, giving Valon no hints. . . .
