The Key
Trans Second-Chance Romance / Midnight Meadow Publishing 2024
Freshly cheated on and ready for change, hopeless romantic Jaxson relocates from Denver to San Francisco—the same place his teenage sweetheart moved to years ago after their love came to a mutual end under the falling snow. He can't help but hold his breath around every street corner, praying he might just see the striking eyes of the one who got away.
​
Doing his best to start anew, Jax joins a local gaming guild and meets Tabby, a trans gay man who whose hot-and-cold nature says he doesn't like Jax very much. Yet Tabby's initial reluctance to show Jax the ropes of living in the bay doesn't last long and talking to him is too easy—like they once knew each other in another life.
Tabby's clueless boyfriend Rob can't stop Jax from making a new best friend, but something hides behind Tabby's colorful contacts that reminds Jax of the love he thought was lost forever. Separated by time, distance, and drastic changes, can soulmates reunite and keep their promise to love one another—no matter what?

​
With only four weeks to find a bride, Darian turns to his beautiful, irreverent, clever friend Ashley for help before a grand ball is to be thrown in his honor. But there is another who catches the prince's eye: living in perpetual silence is Eric, the stronghold stableman, whose kindness disrupts Darian’s plans to hide his nature.
​
Each day that passes is another day closer to Bertram’s takeover, and he’s counting on Darian to fail. While Eric has the prince’s heart, the stableman also carries a secret mark that could jeopardize Darian’s claim to the throne.

While Sariah and Ashley hunt for the other pieces, he follows them, hoping to reverse what they've done. But when Langston is offered a chance to woo the princess and become something he's never been, the temptation is too great to resist.

Scars & Honey
Querying / Contemporary Upmarket Fiction, Drama
Orphaned as a child in an accident at sea, Ky Lee doesn’t know where he's from or who his parents were. His trauma-induced agoraphobia and touch sensitivity are barely quelled by Amund, his ASL-speaking partner of ten years, who rescued Ky from a brutal assault the day they met. Their happy life together is but a façade over their celibate and incomplete relationship. Desperate to fix his psyche and find where he belongs, Ky takes a commercial DNA test to discover his past and get closure.
​
London physician Max grew up rich and knows exactly who he is, but nightmares and intrusive images of his brother’s death haunt him. After his father dies, Max dives into a relationship with his best friend Rigs, hoping to distract himself with sex. When his cousin reveals a relative in America via a DNA kit, Max worries the father he worshipped was unfaithful, and he dreads the stranger on the other end.
​
Test results send Ky overseas in search of his identity. But when he’s reunited with his long-lost twin Max at the airport, Ky realizes he wasn’t orphaned after all—he was abandoned, forced into the foster system as his family moved on. While Max desperately wants to reconcile, Ky is too afraid to disclose his many limitations and his defective bond with Amund to make a meaningful connection. Max’s lingering survivor’s guilt and boarding school syndrome destroy his relationship with Rigs, forcing him to ask Ky for help. In order to finally heal and achieve the life he’s always dreamed of, Ky must risk losing his recovered family, disappointing Amund, and challenging his own sanity by addressing his wounds and the monster who defiled him.

Sigyn's Discovery (Saga of Sigyn and Loki)
Ongoing - FanFiction Release 2.0
In 2013, I began my writing journey with a Fanfiction fantasy series involving Marvel Comics' Loki Laufeyson combined with heavy elements of original Norse mythology. The result was a seven-book series, including three one-shot scenes and a novella short.
​
In late 2022, I decided to rewrite these stories with the skills I acquired in the past few years learning more about writing. Since the stories and character arcs were already complete and well-liked by my previous readers, I am reloading them online in the original serial format.
​
Please enjoy this free and public sample of my work—I hope you fall in love with them like I did.
