(Let me know if you find any of them interesting and would like to be added to my WIP Taglist)!
Arcadian Wilds
The Poison Complex (Book One) [ Mystery | Dystopia | Sci-fi ]
Synopsis: In the overgrown forestry of Blue Oak, something long forgotten has become unearthed.
April Adams, a chemist, poisoner, and ever elusive criminal, finds himself in charge of mitigating the disaster beginning to poison the forest and its residents.
But as April's past begins to haunt him in the vast woodland - and the discovery that more than he'd bargained for lurks beneath the surface of his home village - he starts to realize there might not be a way out for any of them.

Out of Sight and Mind (Book Two) [ Mystery | Dystopia | Romance ]
The quaint religious commune of Sight is a highly sought after place to live. People will convert religions, leave families, marry unhappily, just to live there. But a dark secret that transpires through history is slowly revealed through the death of the commune's most prominent leaders.
Desperate for help, Arizona Close is visited by his sister-in-law with the news his parents are dead, and his brother needs his help. Wishing to repair the damage he'd done when he'd left, he begrudgingly agrees to return for the funeral. But his need for answers soon cause secrets to become unearthed.

Neon Glow in Gold Dust [Book Three]
I physically cannot give a synopsis of this book without spoiling book two, but here's something:
The book centers around the character of Ana, who founded the organisation that Ari and April work for. The book is centered in the city of Cyber, so it has more Cyberpunk vibes. It's less of a mystery and more of a thriller, with countdowns against the clock, lots of tension, and heartache. Ari and April are also in this book, but both are reeling from their homecomings and are worse than functionally useless - they are self-destructive. So, trying to solve (the plot) and trying to keep her friend, and insane chemist together, Ana has got to figure out who she's willing to become.
Cardinal Sins
The Anthology of Cardinal Sins [ Fantasy | Mythic Fiction | Anthology | Fable ]
In the beginning there was the Forest and the Sea. The Sea so loved the Forest that it gifted it life; the Forest so loved life that it moulded it into humanity. Humanity's complexities grow as they do, and with it, so do their crimes. To relieve humankind of its imbalance, the Forest created the Seven Cardinal Sins. This is their interactions with humanity.
Sleep of The King [Fantasy | Mythic Fiction | Apocalyptic]
Balance is stored in the magic of the Forest's king. His sleep ensures that stability is kept between all the elements. When he wakes, long before he should, the balance collapses, and the end is nigh.
-
Dea has spent her entire life trying to fit in, trying to understand the people around her. Luckily her best friend is an outgoing, talkative, always-in-the-centre-of-attention sort of person. If only she'd figure out sooner that it was because it was a bored fey going for its sixth university degree.
Aspen was charged with guarding its lover, the Forest's King, as he slept to maintain the balance. But 150 years is a long time, and getting distracted is its specialty. Now its got to find him again.
And it looks like Dea's coming with it.
Other WIPS
Released [ Psychological horror | Cosmic Horror ]
There was always that knowing. Stood in the silence of a dark room, walking the lonesome path of a muddy forest. Each time, you knew, you were alone, and you weren't. When you looked into the dark sky, in place of the moon was a single eye, and you knew.
You were never alone.
30-year-old Mallory Everton is just looking for a quiet life, a calm life. Recovering from an injury and hiding from his rapidly deteriorating health, he quickly realises that the apartments he's moved into are not what they seem.
Join Mallory, his less-than-normal neighbours, and his oblivious husband, as they try to uncover the purpose of the building they're now bound to.
Golden Dandelions [ Fantasy | Fairy Tale | Plot Twists ]
She was a sacrifice to their gods. But their gods loved her more. And she, she would realise, would love them just as much.
When Fleur wakes up in the dirt of the dandelion forest, she doesn't have the answers to any of her questions. But with the help of the charismatic and overly-friendly fairy that has met her acquaintance, she might yet have a chance to find them.
