Chronicles of Tanyrin Book II: Dreams of Fire

Severyn Lothlain is the young king of a divided kingdom under siege. Plagued by catastrophic climate change, crops fail and starvation looms. In the breakaway covenants east of the Dragonwyr Mountain range, his enemies plot against him and build up their strength. Worst of all, the man he loves, Michael Arranz, is bound by love and magic to another. Beset by trouble on all sides, Severyn is given a chance to save his kingdom, but to do so, he must rely on an old enemy -- and open himself up to more heartbreak.

Prisoner of the Storm - COMPLETE
Kel was a bard with a dark past. Tarin was an outlaw with a darker one. Brought together by lust and revenge, what chance was there for love?

Sacred Core
To the inhabitants of both the Federated Systems and the Baian Empire, Omian warriors were feared and respected. But there is a darker truth behind the steel walls of the giant, orbiting Omian habitat. In their exclusively male, military society, boys who cannot pass a brutal test of manhood become slaves. Condemned to spend the rest of their lives in bondage to their warrior brothers, they clean the streets, fix the machines, and satisfy their masters’ lusts.

Remi was one such unfortunate. Cursed with a slim physique, delicate health and – worst of all – a sharp, curious mind, he serves in Omia’s dingy Lower Levels as a bar slave, available to any customer with the coin and the desire to use him. He has one dream: to escape the pain and degradation of his hellish existence. It’s a dream he has little hope of realizing until a high ranking officer enters the grimy little bar where he serves and makes him an offer he can’t refuse. Sequel to Daggarsphere

Daggersphere (Spring 2011 – sequel: Sacred Core)
Stripped of their memories for crimes they couldn't recall, Yuki and Masca served as indentured labor on the resort world of Daggersphere.

Bio

It was a dark and stormy night. In a crumbling stone manor house on a storm-battered cliff, a baby was born, her wail a desolate descant to the thunder of the surf and how of the wind. Haunted by tragedies and the lost souls imprisoned within the ancient walls, she grew up uncertain of what was real and what were merely the ectoplasmic fantasies of the dead. Writing was her only refuge, her only escape from the echoing corridors and dusty-rooms of the lonely mansion.

In time, even the isolated manor house was embraced by the world and the girl discovered computers. To communicate with the disembodied was second nature to her and where once only spirits and shades were privy to her stories, now strangers from all over the world could read and comment. Eventually, these stories captured the attention of a young entrepreneur, and her first book was published.

Okay, a couple of things are not true. Well, maybe more than a couple. Okay, most of it isn't true. But I'm a writer – and artiste – damn it! A certain eccentricity is expected, no?

In RL, I'm retired and live in the Pacific Northwest. I fill my time writing (duh), gardening, keeping house for my software-engineer-genius sister, running errands for my octogenarian father, cooking, watching TV and playing videogames. I should learn how to design and maintain websites, but you have to draw the line somewhere! That clumsy segue was to tell you all that I have two websites. My personal site houses most of my original fiction and one original finished piece. I have a professional site , too, which has links to my fanfiction and book.  Both sites are maintained by our hardworking publisher, Heather.

My livejournal account is friends-only, but I'm pretty easy about who is a friend. Nothing much happens there beyond announcements and such. I'm on Facebook, as well, where I'm slightly more loquacious (but not much). You're more than welcome to friend me there, too.

At present, I have one novel out, published by SLP, called Cethe. It's a yaoi fantasy romance and is available at the SLP Shoppe site and at Amazon.com. I'm working on another novel, this one science fiction, but also yaoi. With luck and a little more application on my part, it should be available in Spring of 2011.

So – enjoy yourself while you're here. Read some great stories by some excellent writers. Let us know if you like them (we don't get paid that much!). Check in at the forum, too, because we all visit there frequently and are perfectly willing to chat.
