Stories

The old gods live: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. This must be understood, or nothing wonderful can come out of the story I am going to relate.

The Coliseum, a place where the bloodlust of the masses is sated by the death of those whose fates are decided by others. What happens when freedom and slavery clash? Who walks away?

In leaving a sick system we must seek freedom. Freedom, to be gained, must have a sacrifice. You must cut it from the world and run off into the night with it.

In facing our shadows we find whence comes our strength. In accepting our past we can accept our present.

An early piece detailing Gamma's departure from the Tribe of the Malmoken.

Lonely spaceport worker Devin McSmith meets Bastian Drago, an exotic and beastly alien from the planet Dega, and begins an adventure that takes him to the stars and beyond.

This is the morning when I met Max, sneaky little devil that he is.

What happens when you don't enjoy the life you have? When you don't see the beauty in anything? Well for one servant it is the chance to change his life, for a King it is the opportunity for a wife and a child, for a Queen the chance to have it all, and for child to be blessed and cursed. Another twisted retelling of a Grimm's Fairy Tale.

In a place far from the eyes of the Seven Cities, a group of mages prepare for a Darkness that threatens to consume all. One particular mage seems special above all though he does not realize it yet. The trials coming in his days ahead will shape his world as a rising evil threatens to return once more.

Neither the old gods nor their younger helpmates have been able to stop the coming collapse of civilization. Something more is needed. An ark, a refuge, a place where hurt, abused, abandoned, and thrown-away children can feel safe ... maybe, be safe. This is a sequel to "Nemesis" and "Protector of Children."
