At The Crossing

2021

After years of going unnoticed, the darkness has seen her... Annabel has enough to worry about. She's escaped the suffocating clutches of an abusive religious group. She's safe in a new home, with her supportive roommate, Kat, who makes her heart flutter. Every day is an opportunity to heal from her childhood trauma while she explores paganism and develops a relationship with a gentler deity. She would rather not add another spinning plate to her recovery. But when Kat begins a week-long magical ritual to heal her broken heart, she sprains her ankle on the first day and can't continue the process. And though Annabel knows a romance with her straight roommate is unattainable, she can't stop herself from offering to finish the ritual as a proxy. Annabel's role seems simple enough. She must go to the crossroads every night and deliver an offering to the unseen being who resides there. If she is polite and respectful, then by the end of the week, the creature should remove Kat's heartbreak. There is only one rule: she should not look over her shoulder at the crossing. Because if she locks eyes with the spirit, they could take it as an invitation to follow her home—or keep her. At the Crossing is a 20,000-word monster romance novella. It features a F/NBi pairing involving a human woman and an agender demon. This book is intended only for adult audiences.

The Price on Her Head

2021

She's brought down hundreds of creatures, but this hunt might be her last... Consummate hunter Myrine's one focus in life is keeping her son Zale safe. Sometimes the danger is the wild animals that prowl outside the city of Kepithos. Sometimes the threat is the memory of a lethal plague that once decimated the townsfolk. But in the forefront of her mind is always the sacrifice of ten children every five years to the vicious minotaur that lives beneath the king's castle—a ritualistic practice to keep the plague at bay. So when it's discovered that the minotaur has escaped its labyrinth, an enormous bounty to hunt it down is on the line. It's not just to keep the forests safe. It's to assure that the deities will not punish them for letting their weapon run loose. When Zale comes down with an illness that mimics early symptoms of the previous plague, Myrine's one hope for his healing is to take down this creature, receive the bounty, and pay the doctor's high fee for both medicine and silence. The last thing she needs is a city full of panicked citizens considering his sickness an omen. But a chance encounter in the forest shows her that everything she was taught was a lie. This minotaur is no mindless monster. Her name is Eleonora, and they have far more in common than they could ever imagine. The Price on Her Head is a 30,000-word monster romance novella. It features a trans F/F pairing involving a human woman and a female minotaur. This book is intended only for adult audiences. Content warnings may be found in the book's front matter and on the author's website.
