The following works are complete and available to read for free on fictonpress. They range from short to mid length stories.
My personal favourites are Forgotten, a short story set in the world of Santi the Librarian; and Sharp, a short story about an assassin adjusting to life as a nun.
the Sasha Suter series
Birthday Presents Sasha Suter wants to be the best martial artist that her house has ever raised, but each step forward is a struggle. On her birthday, a scandalous kiss from a handsome young man sets off a series of events that might just take Sasha closer to her dreams. Will she get what she wants? Or will she fall in love? |
The Heart of Fin (Sequel to Birthday Presents) Sasha Suter should have learnt by now that nothing is ever as simple as it seems. An innocent visit to the neighbouring Kingdom of Fin is immediately derailed when she learns of a secret that she can not forgive. Her rage gives her a fighting edge, but that won't help her save her prince. Sequel to Birthday Presents. |
Santi the Librarian
Librarian Santi has difficulty hanging on to staff. But when danger lurks around every corner of the Library, he's going to need an assistant. |
Forgotten Santi is the Head Librarian of a library where books don't always behave. So it's no surprise when he and his new assistant, Tony, discover a dead horse between the shelves. It's up to the librarians to protect the rest of the books by solving a mystery that refuses to stay between the pages. Oneshot. |
Australian Outback Fantasy
T.Rasa and I both live in the land down under. Americans have their superheroes. The British have their blue blood wizards. The Chinese have their mirrors and dragons. But what is Australia's magical identity? It is lawless and fraught with danger and beauty. It is a place where men meet fauna and fauna wins. It is a place where larrikins laugh and look at the abyss askance because there's no other way to stay sane. It is the Dreamtime. We hope it will catch on, and we want you on board!
Star Valley The settlers want the valley back, and they aren't shy about hiring thugs to drive out the star farmers. Sam is a rogue with no love for the star farmers, at least, not until they cross paths. An Australian outback fantasy. |
Womba Anyone who stays long in Star Valley goes womba, but Sam soon discovers that strangeness isn't confined to the valley. |
Shadechasers
Shadechasers: Starlit Night Loyal. Brave. Dignified. Duck is none of these. But when a nest of shadows is discovered on what should be a routine sweep, he finds himself drawn into a dangerous investigation for the sake of someone who he might come to call a friend. |
Lofae
(Short Stories)
Deliverance With the hordes of netheren threatening her new found family on the Surface, Lofae must return to the depths and face the demons of her past. |
Somewhere far far away
(a collection of connected shorts)
Woodsman They still tell tales about The Wolf of the Black Forest. They say that the creature is as large as a bear and in possession of human cunning. They say that its breath can blow down a strong wooden house, and that it shows not a shred of mercy, not even to women and children. |
Hello Blackbird The Wolfman has promised to lift Avery Blackbird's curse after she fulfills one last request. |
The End of a Stormy Night Whoever has the key can enter the witch's tower. Whoever enters the witch's tower has audience with the witch. Rampion is that witch, and she has never thought to refuse before. |
Other Short Works
Disaster Squad There's a storm brewing over Baytown as a man who vanished 10 years ago gives the interview of a lifetime. Whether the skeptical Clarence Clementine believes him or not will make no difference to the chaos about to unfold. |
Ambergris Indigo has thwarted master thieves and given countless bad guys the beat down. Yet, her opponents continue to underestimate her. Today she is charged with transporting the priceless Crown of Alice (aka: catnip for master thieves) back to her family vaults. On this job, she may finally meet her match. |
Death March The reapers are in a pinch. It's the end of the month, and the department hasn't even come close to filling the death quota. As his apathetic co-workers continue to languish in the everyday grind of work, it's up to Chaucer to think outside the box. |
Sharp The kingdom is at war, but Maddy wants no part in the machinations of men. She casts aside her past to join the Sisterhood of St Jude. However, her role at the convent forces her outside its walls where she crosses paths with Lester, an unfriendly apothecary with secrets of his own. |
Venom Art is passion. Art is real. Unlike Johannes, Daniel van Heil is a true artist. Flash fiction. |
