You can't deny the creatures in front of you!

Dr. David Lane is grappling with the profound loss of his wife, so he looks for a meaningful impact on the world--finding a cure for diabetes by collecting elusive samples of rare bat blood in the uncharted realms of Papua New Guinea.

Assembling a team of scientists, Dr. Lane's journal encounters inexplicable glowing orbs in the dark night. Soon, they are under attack by what the locals call "Ropen" or "Death Eaters".

Can Dr. Lane get his crew back to civilization, or will they meet a bloody end out at Ropen Island?

Celestial Magick

🔥 Bound by love. Forged by fire. Chosen by the stars. 🔥

Mai never asked for celestial power. She never wanted to ascend beyond the realm of mortals or become a beacon of divine fire. All she ever wanted was a life with Nathan, the man who grounded her, the man who made her feel human. But when an ancient force tears open the veil between worlds, unleashing horrors beyond comprehension, she and her sister, Ojai, are forced to embrace the power buried deep within their bloodline.

In a desperate bid to seal the rift and end the Old Ones’ reign of terror, Mai makes a choice that changes everything—forever. No longer just a witch, she becomes something more. Something ancient. Something unstoppable.

But power always has a price.

The Prince of Celestial Magick, a being of unfathomable strength, has been watching her, guiding her ascension from the shadows. Now, with the veil sealed and the battle won, he comes to collect his due. He doesn’t want her servitude—he wants her bloodline.

Because the children Mai and Ojai now carry are unlike any ever born. Timeless. Unbound. Destined for something beyond the mortal plane.

But Mai refuses to let fate dictate her family’s future. With Nathan by her side, she will defy the celestial chains threatening to bind them, even as the echoes of war linger beyond the stars. Because while the fire inside her may burn eternal—her heart belongs to him.

💫 For readers of romantic fantasy who love powerful witches, protective heroes, celestial battles, and a love that defies destiny.

And, what terrors await when an ancient city full of artifacts, and some sort of portal is revealed? Everything goes haywire when the Captain is sucked into the portal. Can he be saved?

GERTI'S WAR

The true story of a young German teen swept up in the war machine of the Wehrmacht during WWII, and finding a lost love after the war.

IT ALL STARTED HERE.... A True Story About My Cousin's Life in Germany During WWII

About Me

Once upon a time, in the mystical land of “How the Heck Did I End Up Writing This Stuff?” there lived a humble soul, once a mere reader, who somehow stumbled into the chaotic realm of becoming a writer. After years of desperately searching for a scribe to pen an epic family tale, I reluctantly sat down at a keyboard, ready to dive into the abyss of novel writing.

The catalyst for this plunge into literary madness? A WWII family story so compelling, so knee-buckling intense, that if left unrecorded, it would vanish into the black hole of forgotten tales. Told from the perspective of a fourteen-year-old thrust into the bizarre world of the Hitler Youth and mandatory home health services, Gerti’s War, a chronicle of my cousin’s escapades in wartime Germany and later in Berlin, working for the Wehrmacht, as Berlin fell around her.

Picture this: the sweetest woman I have ever met, turned out to be a Nazi? It was like finding out your grandma had a gig as a secret agent. It made zero sense, even when she insisted she had done nothing extraordinary, but her tale of resistence and the plight of everyday Germans was eye-opening. The revelation hit like a ton of bricks during a visit, leaving my head spinning. After devouring 130 books on the subject (seriously, how do you find the perspective from the other side?), I finally put pen to paper. Years later, I toasted Cousin Gerti when she rekindled a lost wartime love.

But the saga didn’t end there. Oh no, dear reader. This brave scribe ventured into the treacherous territory of re-writes and then did a full swan dive into screenwriting. Because creating interesting characters and worlds had taken ahold like some massive Kraken sitting on my back. Now, I am captivated by tales of reluctant heroes thrust into life-altering circumstances–maybe with a monster or two thrown in for good measure. I blame it on that mind-bending encounter with Patterson-Gimlin in my awkward early teens, discussing Bigfoot like it was neighborhood gossip. Sprinkle in a few confirmations of Bigfoot sightings, hearing the creatures' harrowing screams and even finding some footprints, and I guess that propelled me to sitting in that authors’ chair.

Fast forward to today, and the birth of my Sci-Fi Action-Adventure novel, infused with legendary monsters. ROPEN ISLAND is the inaugural chapter in a series featuring the Lane Brothers, Ph.D. biologists who clash over reviews, career goals, and brotherly love, but they can’t deny the science when prehistoric Pterodactyl look-alike's swoop down on them in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. This saga is filled with sibling rivalry, ancient creatures and probably a few botched scientific experiments that nobody wants to talk about at family gatherings.

But the adventure doesn’t stop there. The next masterpiece, LOST CITY OF QUATRIA, is an icy escape to Antarctica at the dawn of the nineteenth century. Imagine explorers stranded in the driest place on Earth, where survival is measured minute-by-minute. Add to the mix some alien-like artifacts deep in the ice–because why not spice up survival with extraterrestrial mysteries? It’s a herculean task, a frosty odyssey that’s sure to chill your spine while tickling your sense of wonder.

So, dear reader, pack your bags, grab a thermos of hot cocoa, and buckle up for a journey into the uncharted territories of my unleashed imagination. Get ready to explore the wild landscapes of cryptozoology, where monsters roam and the line between reality and fiction blurs like a Yeti caught in a snowstorm. Adventure awaits–will you dare to join the ride?
