Vox
2009
Torrent is a lilitu, the creature that vampire myths are based on. Having destroyed a human city while trying to alter time, he's on the run from his sire, Citius, who wants nothing more than to see Torrent punished.
But, Torrent can't help but be drawn to a series of murders happening in the greater London area. A serial killer is butchering novice opera singers in a gruesome manner, and it may be the work of something that isn't human at all. Once a tracker and killer of monstrum, Torrent feels the pull to stop the creature's rampage. This brings him to Eileen, a former opera soloist who has just returned home from a mental hospital following the death of her husband. The serial killer wants something from Eileen, something she isn't aware she even has and Torrent is determined to find out what makes her so desirable...
In the United States, English teacher, Sean Bloor, begins to hear voices from ghastly entities. A lilitu Council representative, Reid, saves Sean before he's kidnapped by a suspicious company, Spiros Inc. When Sean's girlfriend is taken to lure him to them, he risks everything to find her, even if it puts him and his new associate in death’s clutches.
Their stories soon spiral into a hunt for survival, an excursion into the darkness of the human and monstrous psyches inside of all of us. Torrent, Eileen, and Sean will battle scores of lilitu henchmen, monsters only dreamed about in nightmares, and uncover what it means to truly live.

Acquolina
2012
In Acquolina, Sibyl is a naive young fledgling of the Kume, a water-dwelling bloodline of lilitu (vampires). She's been waiting for the day of the Festival Della Costola, an annual celebration in which a new member is inducted into the Artigianti di Alta, who care for the art in the capitol city of Vitoria. As civil tensions between the different Kume houses erupt, Sibyl will be pulled in two opposite directions: toward a mysterious outsider who might be her only escape from the rising unrest, or toward The Ghost, another outsider, who has a vested interest in saving Vitoria by using any means necessary. But do they have their own agendas as well?
Acquolina is set before the events of both Vox, and the upcoming Aequitas.

Memento Mori
2014
In this prequel to VOX and AEQUITAS, Whitaker Hayward, an out-of-work architect, is contracted by one of Seraphim City's affluent magnates, Blumstein, to investigate a room in a long forgotten house on the outskirts of the city; a room that has no doors. Doing this means re-visiting a past he's tried desperately to forget. But this job could be his salvation. It could be his way of leaving it all behind for good. Unless this job isn't all its cracked up to be...
Wanted criminal Vera Baines has been on the run for five years. A letter in her mailbox brings her back to Seraphim City; a letter from "A. Friend" detailing her inheritance of the contents from a safe deposit box. Vera left Seraphim with good reason, but the idea of knowing something about her past is too much to pass up. She has to go back. She has to find out the truth about where she came from...
Harper has always followed Blumstein's instruction, never questioning his motives. He's also never made a mistake; until now. He lost control. He killed a man. And someone saw him. The only way to keep his boss' plan safe is to find that witness and kill them. Can he blindly follow orders again, knowing it means the death of an innocent?
Detective Sam Lusk's wedding is around the corner. His fiancée's put him on a diet. He's cheating on that diet. And suddenly, he finds himself pulled into not one, but two bizarre cases that don't seem normal in the slightest bit. A body found in an alley, drained of its blood? So much for a normal night on the job...
MEMENTO MORI brings all of these characters together within the dark and gritty streets of Seraphim City and the ghostly woods that surround it. All of them are drawn together by the house, an entity that is not all that it appears. It looms with secrets of the past and terrible consequences for the future...
