A campy sci-fi, mystery novel inspired by ol' school horror stories such as "Martin Mystery," "Cabin In The Woods" - and maybe a bit of Stephen King.
Set in the Year 2050 in the Philippines, ten years after a deadly storm had almost wiped out the entire nation, as it follows a fourteen-year-old Milo Sidaris - a shy introverted boy of Filipino and Greek descent - who struggles to fit into this new country.
One night, he saw a strange red glow from afar and learned from his classmates that it was coming from the abandoned Red Dome island a.k.a. The Capital. Many people would be reported missing across the country.
As an aspiring detective, he seeks to learn about why it has been closed off from the public by the government. Together with his newfound friends - Kaira, Leo, Jin and Irene - they head out to The Capital until they've just unearthed one of the country's darkest conspiracies.

Manifestation of a Monster (Warm-Blooded Vampires) Book 2
Milo is a Kaw-Sekhmu who has been dormant for over 150 years, waking up to a world that has changed beyond recognition. When he awakens in a morgue, he realizes that he can no longer stomach blood and has nowhere to turn for support. Milo's decision to turn to the first person he finds for support backfires when he misunderstands the significance of tattoos and turns a vegan, dooming them both. But just when Milo thinks things can't get any worse, his past comes back to haunt him in the form of an Egyptian deity from long ago, powered by a mysterious sect of people wearing black hoods. As Milo struggles to understand their plans and what they mean for the world, he realizes that the stakes are higher than he could have ever imagined. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For as long as he lived and the many troubles he had. Milo had never once considered suicide a viable option. However, as of late, the wicket idea would simply pass threw his thoughts. He had never been in so much pain. He had never felt so alone. But the better question was. Would it even be possible? If he had really thought about it. If it was something he really wanted. Was there a way to kill him? He thought not, but surely nothing can last forever, not even him." (Disclaimer, I'm not great at spelling or grammar. I cannot get a professional editor, But I did my best.)Complete

So she makes a birthday wish—to finally fall in love with someone ('with' being the operative word). But be careful what you wish for—Fate always answers—even if it isn't the exact answer we were hoping for. Find out how even the best-laid plans go awry when the paths of two very different people suddenly collide. Sometimes people search their whole lives for a happy-ever-after.

Project: Phantasma
I can't stress this enough: Characters and events here are purely fictional. Following his recent breakup, Gabriel Sherwood is in no spirit to compete in an international robotics competition, yet his allegiance to his team draws him out nonetheless. Locked for hours in a shopping mall, all is not what it seems at the robotics convention, as a group of racially diverse characters (because equality in 2017) try to escape with Gabriel and his colleagues, and events quickly take a turn for the macabre. With people going missing, monsters wandering around on every corner (yes, even Potato Corner) and the body count rising, Gabriel will have to do everything in his power to lead himself and his friends to safety. But the reality and fiction twists around to the point that even I, the author, do not know what is happe- Huh? I shouldn't say that too? Sorry. Cut that part out, Felix. Can they find out what happened to everyone in this city full of corpses and monsters? Better yet, can they escape the horrors that await them? And can I avoid further clichés and being too meta in this synopsis? [Third Revision Chapter1] As of February 25, 2016, 7:30pm, Philippine Time, I have started revising Chapter 1 since it sounded sooo highschool. After revising my other short stories, I'll be set to continue this. [Second Revision Complete] As of September 17, 2014, 11:34pm, Philippine Time, slightly major revisions have been set, especially around Chapter 11. Changelog: -most chapters show more than tell now, but I do not guarantee a professional edit -went through and corrected grammatical errors (though I might have missed a few) -"decheesified" some dialogue that showed how high-school I was when I was writing this -made some sentence structures less awkward -currently deciding about why kept on breaking the fourth wall Don't forget to vote and/or comment. A kangaroo in Australia loses its pouch everytime you don't. I forgot to say that in my early times here.Complete
