El & Em
COMPLETE!
Philadelphia, 1972: All Luke wants is to share his music with the world. When an imposing, slightly older trumpet player called Emmett joins his band, Luke is fascinated – and a lifelong friendship is born. Love and loyalty are forged in the slow burn of tours, shows and recording sessions. Over the years, Luke’s curiosity and Emmett’s indulgence slowly push the two of them into complicated new territory. Emmett tries to keep them safe – but Luke wants it all.
In this monumental romance spanning more than twenty years, there are no heroes and no villains – just people doing their best in a messed up world.

Dance Macabre
Homicide investigator William Dandeline comes across a gruesome find on his first days at the police station of New Orleans. What it looks like to be a fair scene in the dance hall of the 13th Iberville Street, is nothing but the macabre sculpture of a twisted artist. The dead bodies, paired in two and resembling intimate dancing moves, are kept still by fish strings sawn on their shoulder’s blades, while their formal attire and expressionless yet crystal clean faces bring goosebumps to the viewer’s body.
The year is 1965 and in the city of New Orleans it is easy to find someone to blame, let alone a bloodthirsty criminal. However, finding the true culprit is the true challenge, one that will invite William into this grotesque world between life and death. His only help? A young heir of a long-forgotten bloodline; a hermit of the elite class who is willing to assist in putting an end...

Book 4 of the series "A Song in the Darkness"
*****
Kellen Kaar is embarking on a new step in his life: a romantic relationship. Together with his new girlfriend Laurel, he finally has a stable home life as a good starting point to move forward from. He’s physically on the mend from a near fatal beating, but it’s left him with some heavy mental scarring to deal with on top of what he’s already accrued from a less than ideal childhood. And just when it looks like things at work have stabilized, a tragedy throws the whole of Internal Order back into the jaws of chaos.
As if that wasn’t enough, the spectres of Kellen’s past are rising up to haunt him once more. The abusive family he thought he’d left behind tries to stick unwanted fingers into his new happiness even as Laurel’s past seems to be coming back to haunt her as well. His responsibilities keep piling up even as he struggles to resolve problem after problem. Life has a tendency to kick a person when they’re down. And of course, Kellen is finding this out the only way he knows how: the hard way.
At the Bottom of the Stairwell
Kliment has finally mustered up the courage to ask out his friend Shashi, the Dom he’s longed to serve since before he even knew his name. Their months getting to know each other have made him want more than what he has with Lochan, the Dom he only serves so his inner Sub won't go crazy. He needs a Dom he can pair with –to surrender complete control to– and Shashi is the one he wants to give power over him.
Unfortunately, he's never done this before, and some college kids aren't as smart as they think they are.
Also some Doms really hate being told no.

Crest of the Strongest Knight
In the Avalyne Empire, there is only one way to achieve greatness: exhibition matches. Those who possess the power to bestow god-given gifts known as Crests stand tall and proud as nobles, supporting their knights who wade into battle for the sake of glory, victory, and honor. Knights and nobles alike study and train at Avalyne Academy to hone their skills and participate in academy-level matches, all while forming lasting bonds to become fully-fledged pairs.
Among those students is the so-called "strongest knight" Medrauta, yet despite her title, she hasn't managed to win a single match. Instead, she's impressively racked up over two-hundred losses within the course of the very first month. However, when she's faced with the prospect of expulsion due to various circumstances, her life gradually begins to change.
As Medrauta struggles to truly become someone worthy of the title "knight", she gains new friends, hope, and experience.

Hidden Adversary
Ah, greetings! You've stumbled upon the very first story I wrote as a young child. I originally posted this piece on this very site back in 2018, but I've decided to repost it now with improved grammar and revisions. The core of the story will remain unchanged, as it holds a somewhat nostalgic feeling for me.
As you delve into this story, you'll witness the story writing style of my younger self. I'll admit, looking back at it now, I can't help but cringe at it. However, it serves as a reminder of my growth and development as a writer. Over time, I studied story structure and honed my skills, allowing me to write better stories. Consider this version of the characters to be from an alternate universe, providing a fresh perspective. There will be a different version of it coming out soon, so keep an eye on it!
With that said, I sincerely hope that your eyes won't be too scorched by the contents of my younger self's work.
Employee of the Multiverse and His Darling Cat
This journal was intended to recount how I, Noble Malik, a leader of the World Management realm, was transported to a strange world and forced to climb the corporate ladder in order to return home. Inadvertently, it seems to have become a diary about the odd worlds and dangerous mysteries I encounter on business trips with my partner, whose secrets and four-dimensional personality leave me at a loss---yet intrigued. And if the reader wants a literary perspective, I suppose it's about how a workaholic loner unexpectedly learns more about what moves people and himself while uncovering a universe-shattering conspiracy. But honestly, that's too philosophical and romantic. I just wanted to see my cat, Darla, again.

I'd Prefer Death
When Blaise died, her final thoughts weren't something prophetic or miraculous. In fact, all she wanted was a hot chocolate. Maybe a donut.
Yet, when she ended up at the afterlife, she received both, with a free coupon for the mistake that had just occured. She wasn't supposed to die right then, and her death caused ripple effects that eventually resulted in World War 3.
So, there she was, back on Earth, knowing exactly how her life was going to play out. The worst part? She had to go along with it.
