Welcome to the edge of the map...

I traded religion for fantasy novels and inappropriate humor.

 

Now I write about people who’ve lost their faith, their way, or their humanity—but keep showing up anyway. Usually with a sword. Sometimes with blood on their hands. Always with baggage.

There’s sex. There’s violence. There’s at least one smouldering red flag who fights shirtless.

If you like your fantasy dark, messy, and occasionally makes you chuckle, you’re in the right place.

Dusk Walker

Echo discovers that Professor Dradon has gone missing in a land beyond the living. With rumors of a strange creature consuming the souls of the deceased, the cleric will risk everything to bring her former teacher back.

With the help of her best friend, the roguish halfling Finn, Echo forms a party of adventurers to find her former teacher. Complications arise when the party mistakenly traps Hale, a mysterious ranger with no memory of his past. Will Echo and Finn find a way to save the professor from a fate worse than death? Or will her dangerous alchemical experiments, no matter how well-intentioned, blow up in her face?

Duskwalker is the first novel in the stand-alone series of the Chronicles of the Crossing. Each story, a completely different tale of adventures who have met their untimely demise and the perils of Purgatory within the setting of The Black Ballad by Storytellers Forge.

Hearts of the Fallen

The man I loved in my human life calls to me from somewhere across the cosmos, and I know I have to go back.

 

A vicious monster has him in its sights, and I'm the only one who can save him.

Some would say I'm too gentle a spirit to be a guardian, that I don't have what it takes to fight demons.

 

But Darius agreed to be my teacher. He's strong, fierce, and completely ruthless... all the things I'm not.

With every passing night, I find myself more and more drawn to him. I came here for a reason, and I can't falter now, not when I'm so close.

Will I earn my wings, or will I fall for Darius before I get the chance?

Want to hear about Co-Writing With A LEGEND?

Jonathan Luna could’ve hired me as a ghostwriter—just like most of my clients do. And it wouldn’t have been the slightest bit unethical. Quest was his idea, his story, his vision. It was born from his desire to honor Southeast Asian culture and bring that influence into an epic fantasy setting. He didn’t need to share the credit.

But he did.

Jonathan insisted on making me a co-writer. He made sure my name was on the cover, not just behind the scenes. And that touched me more deeply than I can say. I'm so grateful he recognized my contribution and brought me in as a true creative partner on what turned out to be one of the most incredible projects I’ve ever worked on.

Forging the Sparrrow

Magic belongs to nobles. That’s what the history books say—what the bloodlines were built on.

But magic is waking up again. And it’s not interested in pedigrees.

In the palace, Sparrow—an illegitimate prince turned servant—has begun wielding a volatile magic no one’s seen in centuries.

 

On the other side of the kingdom, in the quiet village of Greenleigh, a blacksmith named Jerrith discovers he can breathe power into the weapons he forges.

 

And deep in the criminal underworld, a thief named Amira is bound by blood to a man who will never let her go—unless she completes one final mission.

As their stories collide, the truth about magic, memory, and power begins to unravel—and the kingdom may not survive what comes next.

Coming Soon!
