Dorothy & Alice: Pick-A-Path Series
Click here for the Dorothy & Alice Hub
A pick-a-path story is an interactive form of storytelling where you, the reader, make the decisions for the protagonists. But unlike the decision based books of your youth, Dorothy & Alice is intended for a more mature audience. Each choice will have dire consequences. Some may advance the story while others could very well end it!
Don’t like the Outcome of a certain Decision? Just turn back to one of the designated points to continue where you left off!
In Under the Rainbow, Dorothy Gale has been cursed to never smile again after an encounter with a strange robot that has been kidnapping story book characters and absorbing their otherwise happy endings.
But once teaming up with Alice of Wonderland fame, the two Heroines embark on an adventure through literary classics in order to find out who’s behind the insanity and get vengeance for Dorothy!
Help them navigate the perilous literary multiverse! Will you steer them towards success? Or lead them to a grim demise?
Here’s a FREE short story to give you an idea of how I wrote Dorothy & Alice!
Introducing my very first series!
A project nearly 2 years in the making, the first entry of my ‘Dreamt’ Series, available in both Paperback and Kindle Editions. ‘I Dreamt I was a Red Knight’s Squire’ is a Five Volume Original English Light Novel (OELN) featuring the exquisite artwork of Clipped104!
It is also my first Audiobook!
College dropout Evan Vancouver spends his days seeking escapism from his student debt and monotonous existence. All of that abruptly changes when he discovers a mysterious audio track and has his consciousness transported to a thrilling fantasy world full of magic and adventure.
Unable to discern whether it's a dream or reality, Evan finds himself taken under the wing of a beautiful but tenacious lady knight. But when the alarm clock reminds him it’s time to go back to work, he begins to wonder whether he’s gone crazy or has received a higher calling. By day, he’s just a barista. But by night, he is the Red Knight’s Squire!
Volume 4 is on its way!
Originally serialized on the web novel site, Royal Road, Isekai Mansion is now available on Kindle. All 5 story arcs and interior artwork by the amazing Magaly Abarca can be read on Kindle Unlimited or purchased outright for a great price!
Eric Noble was an accountant in his late twenties who received an inheritance from his late father, whom he never met. Unbeknownst to him, the ancient well in the basement of the estate is a portal to not just another world...but seven of them. Follow along as Eric explores the worlds, defeats adversaries, learns his family's origin and most importantly, navigates his growing harem to find true love!
Each of the seven worlds follow a different literary genre. So depending on which world he visits, the writing style will change and so will Eric's strategies. While the comedic drama and slice of life prose dominates the real world, Eric will be faced with Epic Fantasy, Alternative History and Noir Horror among others.
JSG was the most fun I’ve ever had writing a story. The best part is, it was never meant to be released to the public!
What started as a writing prompt meant only for myself and my friend Louis, turned into the love letter to 80s and 90s Sci-Fi Action Adventure movies it is today.
From bar brawls and martial arts tournaments, to time traveling and playing in a Groove Metal band, our nameless protagonist faked his own death in the year 1991 and sets out on a quest to get into as much shit as he can find.
Not for the easily offended, the language used in this story is but one relic of 1990s culture that permeates this story. But even the print size itself feels like a trade paperback from a bygone era.

ISBN-13: 978-0991108930
Weight: 10.6 ounces

Here’s a FREE follow-up to the main book that doesn’t require reading the original first!
David was a perpetually rejected screenwriter when he received the opportunity of a lifetime after defeating the grim reaper at a game of chess. Lucy, aka Lucifer, agrees to let David write her biography in order to settle the score on what exactly happened between her and God.
Originally posted to Webtoons and Tapastic, Giving the Devil Her Due was a webcomic passion project written by myself and illustrated by the amazing Magaly Abarca. Though we produced the comic for nearly 5 years, life got in the way and we never continued past Volume 1. Neither one of us have ruled out finishing one day however.
Nonetheless, I want to make it available to you here now! Not only will you receive the original 167 pages, but I’ll also include the 50+ retouched pages, standalone artwork and 15 never before released Volume 2 pages we created before halting the project!
Your purchase will be considered as a kind donation and you’ll be placed on a mailing list to be the first to know, should we revive the project!

Here’s a novella I wrote in 2023 that was way outside the box from my normal writing.
I wanted to try my hand at writing something a little more generally “Lit Fic.“ No Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Action or even Adventure to be found in this one!
After seeing the movie, Intruders, I wanted to write a story that featured someone dealing with extreme agoraphobia. But do it in such a way that the reader gets a more realistic impression of what the illness even is. I also didn’t want to do anything horrifying like that movie!
One part love story, one part incel redemption story, you can read Love Me For Who I Am on Kindle Unlimited or purchase it for $2.99!
Fun Fact: Doing my research for this story led me to meeting C.C. Judge. You may recognize her credits in some of my other work. She’s been an invaluable beta reader and proof reader.
Alright! Now we’re digging in deep!
This is a short story I wrote in 2013 for a writing competition. It’s actually just an excerpt I fleshed out from an outline I had for a bigger story. I wrote it while Glimmer in the Ashes was being edited and I never ended up writing the full book due to time constraints, marketing GITA and interest in other projects.
It’s very likely that this is probably the worst thing I have ever published because it was written and edited in less than two weeks due to the writing competition deadline. I was also very early in my journey of taking writing seriously.
P.S. There’s a character in this based on a real person I knew. I doubt it could ever be uncovered who I was writing about. But at least my veiled threats to them are likely past the statute of limitations!
