Half-human, half-vampire? Yawn.

Aaven isn’t a half-breed.

He’s something new.

A merging Mother Nature never meant to exist.

The Unpoisoned.

Born of a genetic fluke, he’s either nature’s greatest mistake or evolution’s next leap.

Will he become the world’s deadliest venom… or its only antivenom?

A street-smart eighteen-year-old thief takes on what he thought would be an easy score.

Now he's trapped between four lethal ex-mercenaries...

And a dangerous world of secrets ready to steal far more than he ever bargained for.

A cynical writer sells out and writes a gay werewolf story for clout.
It’s supposed to be trash.
It goes viral instead.
Now the author he accidentally parodied thinks it's hot.
And the fans? They’re demanding Chapter Two.
The problem?
He never intended to write one.
... Oops.

Before Grithen was the guarded, stoic vampire readers met in What Didn’t Kill Me Became Me, he was Grit. A loud-mouthed, fire-eyed ACT UP activist during the HIV/AIDS crisis in 1980s New York, screaming for the dying and daring the world to listen.

This is the story of who he was. What he fought for. The best friend he loved... and lost.

The night that turned him into the ash of the man who once burned so bright.

This isn’t a happy story.

But it is Grit's story.

Inspired by a true story.

As Hurricane Melvin closes in, Mason and Wyatt find themselves facing more than just the storm outside.

It's also, quite literally, the least gay thing I've posted on GA.

Reader discretion advised, because I had absolutely none to begin with.

Jake Henderson has a husband.

And a habit of ending up in Haven Cooper’s bed.

Haven’s rich, reckless, and beautiful in the way bad decisions usually are.

He makes guilt feel like seduction, and walking away feel like losing.

Jake tells himself it’s just an affair.

But lines blur quickly when ego and obsession start to look like love, and control starts to feel like safety.

In a city full of glass towers and dark corners, the real danger isn’t in being watched.

It’s what happens when no one’s watching.
