  • Lynesse (Dragon Age: the Veilguard) 2025

    Lynesse (Dragon Age: the Veilguard) 2025

    Lynesse’s premise is very simple: smooch Emmrich. She is a Shadow Dragon, a freedom fighter, a trained bard, anything that appealed to me as I raced along. A former sex worker and a person used to disappearing. She is what she has to be. I feature Manfred halfway frequently in her stories because I think…

  • Ruth Means Compassion (SWTOR) 2012

    Ruth Means Compassion (SWTOR) 2012

    Ruth Niral, the first lady of my fanfiction collection. She appears in many guises but remains the Sith Warrior of the Star Wars: The Old Republic canon. In every continuity she is a light side Sith, at first. In every continuity she meets and cares for Imperial Agent Wynston. In every continuity she falls in…

    The Vailond Trilogy (Pillars of Eternity) 2020

    Watcher. In a world where the passage of souls is as ordinary as a cipher’s charm and as powerful as gods, the rare gift or curse of the Watcher carries much weight. The truth of the corruption of the Wheel of souls may not reveal itself any other way. (Picture is an in-game default avatar.)…

TUS is a novel about responsibility, about unwanted gifts and the annoyingly redemptive power of loyalty built on common ground. This is the…

  • There Is No Death, There Is Only Wrath (SWTOR) 2012

    There Is No Death, There Is Only Wrath (SWTOR) 2012

    Star Wars: The Old Republic is an MMORPG that shares some story-driven DNA with classic RPGs. I played it a lot. One of my first two novels, NDOW, is the goofy story of slacker Emperor’s Wrath Nalenne and her dead husband Malavai Quinn. (He had it coming.) The Sith Warrior companions and major NPCs, including…

  • Tatters (original) (2024-2025)

    Tatters! I’m almost done!  Tatters is a triptych about a crime lord, a cop, and a student, pursuing relationships in the empath-haunted Photia City. It is a romance about feelings and corruption and failure to heal.  I really love this setting, a nighttime gaslamp with psychic powers. The ending of Tatters, due within weeks, sets…
