NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
This page is heavily under construction! I’m reworking all my short stories, and re-posting them here when they’re finished.
You can support me by buying a coffee (caffeine always helps).
P:S. They’re all downloadable for free in epub format, which can be read on any platform (yes, even Kindle).

Dr. Ranier Blood’s Arc
Court-appointed therapy doesn’t go quite the way Rapunzel thought it would.
Re: Dr. Ranier Blood; The Kin
Rumors of her appear in the news, but who can credit tales of a pale little girl freezing things with a single, bloodied touch?
Re: Dr. Ranier Blood; The Kin
“This is your test,” she says, and to my dismay, her voice carries the tinny echo of magic, a compelling power.
Not the usual conversation one has upon entering a magical psychologist’s office.
Re: Dr. Ranier Blood; The Kin
Stories of the Night Children
Notte thought to hide from the world, to punish himself by being alone.
The world – including a power-hungry emperor – has other ideas.
Re: Notte; Ahmose; The Ever-Dying; The Night-Children
He’d always painted what he saw; these visions pushed him, bled out his eyes, and the only cure for augural blindness was to splatter it out in colors, shapes, forms.
Re: Jonathan; Seishirou; Ravena; Notte; The Night-Children
Years ago, Seishirou chose to disobey his maker for the sake of love. Years ago, Seishirou’s love knew exactly how it would play out. Today, the bill comes due – but that isn’t the end of his story.
Re: Seishirou; Ravena; Jonathan; Notte
I can see the life leave you.
You died for nothing.
Re: Terrance; Notte; The Night-Children
He got away with it all. In the end, it was the damned cows that caught him.
Re: Terrance; Notte; The Night-Children
He was the assassin, the executioner, the bringer of death for the Blood King. After all, Terrance understood death better than most.
Re: Terrance; Notte; The Night-Children
Flappers. Vampires. A thug who stole a necklace and a speak-easy with Jazz to die for.
Re: Salome; Notte; the Night-Children
Stories About the Fey
The damned Throne takes my magic, stealing every last drop from birth to death. Rebellion is not rewarded, not even when you’re the heir.
Re: Grey; Mab; The Fey; The Throne
Before me stands the bedraggled crown prince of the Unseelie Fey. I pretend I do not see how desperately he hoped I’d invite him, and he pretends that he does not have bits of twig sticking out of his hair.
Re: Grey; Notte; The Fey; Terrance; The Night-Children
Stories of Psychopomps
The soul had been flayed, shredded into suffering ribbons, and Death had to think carefully about how to handle it right.
Re: Hades; Death; Dis
Now, he knew what this place held. Monsters, magic leaves, things all meant to stop him and eat him and stop him and hurt him, and he wouldn’t be fooled again.
Re: Red; The Ever-Dying
Others Among the Mythos
A pretty lady always knows how to smile. (Flash fiction: 240 words)
Re: Flash Fiction; The Ever-Dying; Kalarastri
Punish me, will you? Two can play this game. (Flash Fiction)
Re: Random
Just a story about magic, cereal boxes, and long-lost Mesoamerica gods. No, who am I kidding? It’s about a badass convenience store manager with a taser.
Re: The Ever-Dying; Random
The moths came when you left. (Flash Fiction)
Re: Random
Ghosts don’t mean to scare you. They just want you to know: it’s not over when the fat lady sings. (Free-form poem.)
Re: Random
More to come soon! I’m editing as quickly as I can. 🙂
