When Ari touches a cursed artifact and becomes possessed by a powerful spell, he must find a way to control it or risk losing himself and the half-vampire he loves. ***** Aristotle Lorenfield knows he's unusual. He lives in a museum of haunted objects, studies ancient magics, and is unapologetically asexual. He's used to being alone and doesn't want anything more. Then, one day, his archeologist uncle sends him a mysterious artifact in the mail, thrusting Ari into a world of real magic, necromantic cults, supernatural beings, and dangerous secrets. Torn from the comfort of his solitude, Ari must face the pain in his past, and the truth in himself, if he hopes to survive and save the man he's come to love - but the greatest dangers lie closer to home than he thinks.

In a land of sentient nature and dragon roars echoing across the sky, the kingdom Esari is at war. Prince Sage, a naturavis who can speak to plants, is second in line to the throne, but when an accident sends his elder brother and his dragon falling to their deaths, Sage has no choice but to accept the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Between forced betrothals, ceaseless attempts at forging peace between rival kingdoms, and a deeper conspiracy lurking in the cracks of Esari, Sage is struggling to live up to his brother's title whilst grappling with an undeniable yet hopeless attraction towards the dragon-riding soldier Everett. Everett has been close friends with Sage and his elder brother Eris since they were children. But the tragedy of Eris' loss strikes the Esarian kingdom hard, and when Sage can only find peace in Everett's company, the soldier cannot deny his own attraction for the prince. Duty and honour are pulling Sage and Everett in different directions, and their bond isn't meant to last. The brightest flames burn the fastest, and the tallest trees fall the furthest. And yet, as wild dragons start to go missing and an unnatural death spreads through the forest, Sage isn't sure who else he can trust. ───── • ⋆⋅⸙⋅⋆ • ───── Status: Ongoing Story length: 120,000+ words

#NaNoWriMo 2016 Book One in the Tales from the Filii Aurea Series IN THE BEGINNING, they say, the Aetherei Matrem fell in love with a Celestial Being, and produced a line of children like none other, each with their own special abilities, and each with ichor flowing through their veins. They were her Filii Aurea, her Golden Children, and they were to inherit the earth. A couple centuries down the line, and the Filii Aurea are struggling to stay alive. With the great Aurean war and Aziel Aro committing perpetual genocide, they're desperate to save their race. Avani Sai and Nuri Bachmann need to find the last remaining descendent of the great Milo Aro, and possibly the last cursed Child, and defeat Aziel Aro. That might not be their biggest concern, however. A charming stranger from the Sovereign Capital and a dark force lurking in the streets seem to pose a bigger threat than perpetual genocide.

You've all heard of Sleeping Beauty, but have you heard about her cousin? Duchess Maria is the older cousin of Princess Aurora and was cursed by Maleficent at the same time. However, the curse was not meant for her but instead father. Due to the curse hitting the wrong person, it altered itself, no longer meaning eternal sleep. Every time Maria falls asleep, no one knows when she will wake up. It could be one day later, or one year later. In desperation, the duke called the fairy godmothers to help his daughter. Spent from their spell on Aurora, all they could do was make a spell where Maria will not age in her sleep. 494 years have passed since Maria was cursed. She has woken up from a five year sleep with the physical body of a twenty-five year old woman. As she tries to maneuver back into a steady schedule, a prince and his traveling party come through, asking for shelter while they heal their wounded. In a land where magic is forbidden, Maria must hide her identity, solve her curse, and maybe fall in love on the way. --- This is my attempt at NaNoWriMo. I will try to post a chapter a day and they will be unedited.

WARNING: OLD WRITING AHOY. OLDER THAN THE DINOSAURS. THIS IS BEING KEPT UP AS A TESTAMENT TO HOW FAR I'VE COME IN THREE YEARS AND IS THE FIRST THING I EVER PUBLISHED ON THIS SITE. There were supposed to be three. Three to save their world, three to end the war, three to banish the Obsidians forever. No one suspected a fourth. Least of all, herself.

Whether or not Theodore Aspen (Theo, to his few friends) wanted to get dragged into the conflict between his old home, Terra, and his new one, Earth, that doesn't matter. He thought that by becoming an exchange student to Earth with his lupine best friend, Alaina, he would be able to leave his past as an orphan behind and find a new family. The second part happened. The first didn't, and now he's going to find himself on the front lines of the war that he wanted to flee, and it's all due to a few mistakes that he made (mostly, not realizing that his principal on Earth wasn't quite human; no, Mister Marlboro likes Camels, hates Terrans, and oh, wants them all dead. He's going to try all he can to make sure that that happens, and it's Theo and co's job to make sure that it doesn't.) They'll have to stay alive first, but so far so good, thankfully. Then again, though, you never know. After all, as the saying goes, luck is never on a fox's side... Rating: PG-13 for coarse language and crude humor. Thanks for 1K reads!

So, this is my novel for NaNoWriMo 2018! Enjoy! ~~~ Ex-scientist's apprentice Martin Black has a relatively simple mission. Deliver the briefcase. Leave. Get paid. So does frosty hired gun Frances Steele. Kill the target. Leave. Get paid. But the target happens to be Martin Black, who seems to be unable to get hit by a bullet. Somehow, they manage to strike up a deal, and begin their journey to Manning Dam. Along the way, they meet a few fixer-uppers: a senseless chemist who's actually onto something; a gang-member that never truly went straight; a stoic vigilante with an overwhelming hunger for justice; a young aristocrat adjusting to life in the Wild West; a wise-cracking thief with more than a few issues to sort out. But all of them seem to have an enemy in common. And, beyond their knowledge, forces brew. Little do they know their actions will make a difference, and alter their world forever. -- *EDIT* The novel wasn't finished for NaNoWriMo. However, chapters will still be released (though probably not as often). There will be lots of plot holes, but when I finish Draft 1 and edit it, things should be... better.

I set the goal to 25,000 words, and told myself I'd write it during my 2 weeks holidays. Turned out 25,000 words weren't enough for the story I wanted to write, so I added 25,000 more: Book 2. I want to write more chapters, but I had decided to keep to this word count, so, so be it. I hope you'll like it! There's a French version of it, too 😘🇲🇫

Balancing his studies, a job, and friends begins to wear on him, and as he finds himself resenting every unneeded turn of events, he also finds his resolve weakening. He's running out of steam, and heading for a breakdown, and he isn't sure how much longer he can hold out. With support from his police officer friend, Lucas, who tends to hinder as much as he helps, he keeps pushing through, even as life keeps throwing him curveballs, such as love interests he never would've expected, broken bones, and dangerous rivalries. Only adding to his problems is his older brother, Caleb, who is causing trouble for their parents with a sudden visit, and the reasons behind his sudden return may change Aaron's attitude completely. College is turning out to be very interesting, in a way Aaron doesn't quite appreciate.

She couldn't love him. His heart didn't belong to her. It belonged to another woman; one that had loved him for years. And in her heart, the heart that he was slowly stealing with each sweet word and every act of kindness, she knew he loved that woman still. Maybe she would have hated him longer if he had been anything like his mother. The woman who forced her into this marriage by threatening her sister's future. But he wasn't. Samuel Madden was everything she dreamed of ending up with but settling for him might mean settling for half. Half of his heart, half of a family, half of a husband. He had everything planned. The ring, the house, the way he'd ask the woman he loved to marry him. But with one word from his mother, threatening to ruin her life, he found himself at the altar, saying void vows to a woman he met only a month ago. He was ready to settle and wait until he was free again, but Kali Hastings wasn't an easy woman to dislike. Sure, she had flaws, but they were nothing compared to her tender heart and perky personality. Now, he was falling for a woman who was daily conquering more and more of his heart. But at what cost? There was more connecting them than even she knew. A truth that had been buried in his family since he was born. Would she still want him when she found out the truth?

His Grace the Grand Duke Kilan never expected to become Emperor of Carann. But things rarely go as planned, and this is no exception. Who knows, he might even learn to like being Emperor. He could do without Death's interference, though. {Written for NaNoWriMo 2017, Camp NaNoWriMo June 2018, and NaNoWriMo 2018} Cover by @xXArachnidXx
