Deleterious
2022
Too many times.
Too much careless gambling.
I’ve heard it all before.
No one has ever held true to their word, but I think this one might.
The confidence in her tone when she doesn’t know that I’m listening gives me hope.
But it makes me wonder too.
Does she mean what she says?
It doesn’t matter.
I’ll do my best to study her from afar before I get to know her.
Then I’ll lay down the wager, and if she accepts, I’ll force her to see it through.
This one is mine.

Come Hither, Dark Dreamer
2022
I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date!
With him. With them.
The White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, and the King of Hearts.
Benji, Ransom, and Dare.
I met them in my darkest hour, somewhere between Razorblade Avenue and Benzos Lane. Jameson in hand, I stumbled down the rabbit hole to their magical stomping grounds after a run-in with the Cheshire Cat and his wicked potions. Concoctions that allowed me to see Wonderland for what it is—an ominously delightful place where anything is possible, normalcy is frowned upon, and madness reigns supreme. Something about it, about them, calls to my darkest desires, hence why I always come back. Part of me knows I should be afraid; they’re so… different. The type of different you only see on TV, in movies, and dreams…
But I suppose that’s part of the appeal.
I’ve always been an outsider myself, so while I may not be one of them and my relationships with each vary in strength, the more I tread these enigmatic grounds, the more free I feel, like I finally belong.
Like I’m actually living rather than simply existing.
Reality is a prison.
Wonderland could be home.
_Who do I have to blow to stay here?
\\Please note, Come Hither, Dark Dreamer was previously released in 2022 as part of the Enigma Society multi-author collection. It was not been expanded. Only minor additions were made for re-publication. It is also important to note this is a dark romance, please check triggers before proceeding.\\_

Romance is Dead
2022
From Award Winning Authors Tamsyn Bester and Robin Ash, comes Romance is Dead, a haunting retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s Classic “Romance”
I’ve lost my muse. And in the process I’ve lost myself.
I can’t paint.
I can’t even breathe.
So when I stumble across an ad for a house in the middle of nowhere, I decide to respond.
Three months. That’s all I need.
And when I show up, the house looks as dead and lifeless as I feel.
It’s perfect.
The only caveat is that I won’t be alone.
The owner of the house will be staying with me, but promises to stay out of my way.
Sounds simple enough.
Except it’s not.
The house is falling apart and nothing about the owner I’m sharing the place with is normal.
Which actually suits me fine because I’m not normal either.
I set up my studio, and find that I’m painting her. The woman I’m staying with.
And one night, when I find myself on the wrong side of drunk, I make the fatal mistake of kissing her.
Cold lips, icy hands. She’s an enigma I’m drawn to in a way I don’t understand.
Until I discover why.
They say romance is dead.
And they’re not wrong.
Because she’s dead.
And I am too.
