Works of Fiction

Creating characters, settings, or even whole worlds is a long-time joy of mine, one where I get to flex my creative muscles and try to encourage others to do the same. While my blog in general deals with all number of topics, here’s a curated list of all of my works of fiction – content inspired from other works, games I’ve played, or spun out of whole cloth.

My wonderful supporters on Patreon can view upcoming  entries several days before general release – thank you for your support!

Currently I have two long-running story arcs going: the Lavis Chronicles which explores a civilization’s first steps onto the galactic stage, and Covert Ops about two American operatives fighting a Bolivian drug cartel. I hope you enjoy!

DC: Breaking Bonds

DC: Breaking Bonds

The outbreaks in New York and DC provide great examples of what can happen when societal norms break down and citizens take an "everyone for themselves" mentality. Civilization, I think, serves to save everyone from the "might makes right" logical fallacy that takes...

Conquest: Azurites

Conquest: Azurites

While attempting to locate Misery the following morning, I came across a refuge begging for my attention. "Please, Fatebinder, I ask you to intercede on my behalf – we have rights under Kyros' peace." The Scarlet Chorus member who had been beating him gave his words...

NW: Saving Grace

NW: Saving Grace

I have never understood the need for followers of any particular deity to erect large or grandiose churches and cathedrals to demonstrate their faith, or to fill those buildings with the type of wealth that could feed villages for generations. Across the city of...
