Shades of Mortality
In Search of Justice
One is young, the other old. With gifted tongues, both are bold. One blood heals, the other slays. One blood kneels, the other pays. Both can speak with the mind. Both shall seek, both shall find. The Mid Dreki Realm is one of nine planes that burst into creation following the devastating destruction of Ragnark (a Divine Reckoning). Every plane has been twisted. Entire races disappeared; new creatures blinked into existence. And rumor has it the Norse Gods weren’t killed but are imprisoned in Asagard. A millennium ago, drekis, drakes, and dremmas, the flightless cousins of the winged beasts, vanished in a fiery blast brighter than the mid-day sun. The Goddesses of Destiny hint at another Divine Reckoning if the departed members of the Varanus genus ever return. Only the walking d’oglemenn remain in the Realm, and they’ve been ostracized by the other races.
The first book of the pentalogy follows the adventure of young Vidarr Allefar as he beings his quest in service to the God of Justice. The d’oglemann turned martial arts Warrior for Tyrrel must venture through the perilous wilds, overcome the bigotry of humans, and capture a murderer who is said to be aided by magic.
Will Vidarr survive the beasts and brigands of the Realm only to succumb to the hatred of humans? Can Vidarr capture the famed swordsman turned killer, or will his quest turn into tragedy? Not just for himself, but also his kin, and perhaps the Gods themselves. $2.99 on Kindle.

One billionaire troll, one accidental auction, one huge mistake
‘Earn extra in just one night, human females only.’
Never look a gift…troll in the mouth. Or answer a flyer pushed through your door…
Not following my own advice is how I found myself standing on a stage, squinting into a bright light while a monster auctioneer shouts out sums of money the like of which I’ve never even imagined.
And now I’ve been bought by the biggest troll I’ve ever seen, at an auction I shouldn’t even have been involved in.
Max offers me a deal, if I agree to spend the month with him as his companion, he’ll pay me what I cost at the auction, no strings attached.
He might have the deepest, darkest most sinful voice I think I’ve ever heard and when he shows me to the most opulent penthouse I’ve ever encountered, complete with library, I’m more than tempted.
As the month goes by, I find I like spending time with my handsome, built-for-comfort, grumpy troll, who turns out to be far sweeter than his granite exterior implies. Yet, all of this is simply a business arrangement, and I can’t forget it.
I’m sure I must have made a big mistake and I’m having second thoughts about the deal. Max offered me a lifetime of ease with his contract, but am I selling my soul…or am I more scared of losing my heart when all of this inevitably comes to an end? $3.99 on Kindle.
