The Queen of Swords
2015
Meet Caprice, better known as the villainess Capricious Whim.... Caprice is a woman who works hard and plays hard. She's a veteran villain of Imperial City, and what you might call a 'maladjusted individual'. While she plots to achieve her own goals, she's forced to take whatever jobs may come along, and any unintended consequences from them! The heroes don't always win in this world, but being a villain has its own unique set of problems. [Warning, explicit sexual content including light bdsm. Over 26,000+ words.]

The Prince of Cups
2015
The Villainess is back! Follow the further adventures of the villainess Capricious Whim as she suffers the consequences of killing the double-crossing fixer who had set her up. It's hard being a villain... and even harder when the local contacts think you could be out to get them. Realizing she needs to have someone to watch her back and negotiate jobs for her, Caprice is in a sticky situation...but she needs the perfect partner. Enter Regulus, a villain from the "bad old days". The psychic operative has got the experience, subterfuge, and brutality she needs to succeed in her goals. In him, Caprice meets her equal in power, bloodlust, and desire. A meeting between their minds results in a dark, dangerous passion, a thirst unable to be quenched with just one drink. There's only two problems... he's an interdimensional fugitive from Axis Earth, an alternate dimension where the Axis powers won World War II, and his help comes with a price. When Caprice agrees to help him get free from the hunters who pursue him, a seemingly straightforward task becomes complicated... fast. This is a super-villainous dark fantasy/sci-fi novel, containing mature content and themes including descriptive violence and explicit sexual situations.

The Princess of Wands
2016
There's no rest for the wicked.... When the beautiful and deadly Nacht Sirene comes calling, Capricious Whim's night to party with the villains of Imperial City turns to nothing but trouble. The pair are hunted by vicious and implacable foes from two dimensions. With Regulus missing, Sirene's loss of her powers, and Caprice's struggle with problems within her mind compounded with hasty decisions, the combination makes for a rough night which doesn't end. When you're a villain, having a bad night could mean a stint in jail... or worse.
This novel is for mature readers only and contains explicit descriptions of violence and sexual situations. It is dark fantasy/science-fiction centering on a villain as the protagonist and is not for the faint of heart!
Also included is a bonus short story set in the same world centered around Nosferatu titled 'The Razor's Edge'.

The Knight of Disks
2017
Sometimes, it takes a villain to do a hero's job... Mauler is missing, presumed dead. Although Caprice is certain the cheery werewolf has shuffled off the mortal coil, his vampire partner Adira insists he's alive, lost in the forest which came alive around them and swallowed him whole. Their investigation into his disappearance awakens a force which was best left Pangea. When Pangea threatens her beloved city, the villainess Capricious Whim bursts into action, doing everything within her considerable power to turn the threat back... including working with the heroes. Amidst the push and pull of her many working partnerships, Caprice struggles with her enemies, her allies, and herself to organize the biggest strike force Imperial City has ever seen, but will it be enough?
