// STEADY PROJECTS //
THE INHERITED HAUNTING OF TRYSTAN SONG // Urban fantasy, gothic comedy, bloody legacies and a sideways prophecy. After quitting a doomsday cult, Trystan prefers to live simply, spit on responsibility, and run away from his numerous, self-inflicted problems – all except one. And the shadow haunting him intends to stay.
LAMENT OF THE BUTCHER // Dark fantasy, devouring worship, tragedy and changing fate. After dying in every way possible, Adelade returns home with the unexpected company of a kingdomless prince, a vengeful shadow, and a strange little girl. Home is a festered echo now, and the Felled God waits for her with an achingly familiar face.
the GODSPAWN trilogy // High fantasy, dark mystery, monstrous heroism. A world built on bones, breathing magic and nature that speaks, and the escalating riddle of a godling’s revenge. The land is shifting, waking ancient powers and old grudges, and it brings together Yulei the volatile half-sorcerer, Nara the many-faced outlaw, and Kon the defiantly lost soldier. As each struggle to prove themselves in all the wrong ways, a ghost decides it's time to live again.
the duology, BLOODHOUNDS and DANDELIONS // Science fiction, dieselpunk space opera, serrated healing. Rowan, Neve, and Meisha are three hopeful jerks with wounded hearts and vindictive thoughts, trying their golden best not to become villains as they endeavor across a war-torn country. But it’s hard to forget what creates you, especially when the past is catching up.
// SAPLING PROJECTS //
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WATERFALL // High fantasy, psychological horror and healing, magicians and manifested emotion. Ysabelle successfully ended the Five Hundred Year War, but she’s ruptured the land and herself in the process. Louis wants to move on from his mother’s death, but the murderer is his only hope. And the Damp calls from down the river.
THE HUNGER ROT // Dark fantasy, romantic horror, immortal warriors who process grief poorly. After several hundred years of fighting side by side, the sudden death of her sister leaves Peony hollow. Hollow enough to help her longtime vampyric nemesis pursue revenge against her sire, even if Sashka keeps secrets.
TWICE DEAD SCAVENGERS // Gothic fantasy, chaotic mystery, the romance of a shared curse and corrupted legacy. A mostly-eaten god is imprisoned beneath the Finch mansion. Geneviere Finch is the prison's resentful warden, and now she must defend it against Uldri, a reaper of restless violence who brings sinister knowledge about her family.
WINGS LIKE WAR // Gothic fantasy, man-made horror, a sprawling city of monster hunters. Noxander loses a parent and then inherits a dark family secret, and Ira struggles not to become the same creature she hunts. From behind friendly faces, a shapeshifter guides their downfall.
The sword that cuts all but its scabbard. The scabbard that consumes none but its sword. The sword that is dulled by its scabbards protection but would fall to disrepair without it
brooo it was so fucked up at the club last night bro the dj was playing straight bangers like “babbling brook ft. deep woods” and “mourning dove remix” and everyone on the dance floor stood still completely at peace with and within themselves, all still trees in the envelope of the world. at some point in the night i sat and contemplated the beauty of all things it was sick as hell man
