What I Write

Updated 02/2026

In case you’ve never read anything by me, here are a few brief points you may find useful.

I write high/dark/epic/romantic fantasy (Yes, yes, yes, all of the above combined into one!).

A note on genre: Genre is kind of funny. Fantasy stories today seem to follow a repetitive pattern. The prevalence of the “strong female protagonists,” popular tropes, and one-dimensional “loverboy” characters have ruined books for me in a large way. I strive for innovative storytelling that breaks away from these overused tropes. I use my own observations of the world for reference besides my own personal experiences as well as my own interests to fill my narratives. I can easily point out that I write in “romantic fantasy,” “adventure,” or “epic,” but in truth, my books are actually more than what you’ve come to expect. I write about elves and humans trying to get along in a Medieval-inspired environment, which makes it fantasy—sure. But you will find NO formulaic writing from me. I’m an artist first and foremost and don’t really give a damn about labels. I write because I fucking enjoy writing, m-kay?

On the greatest scale, I write about love, human nature, spirituality, hardship, and suffering.

I like rustic settings. So instead of fabulous fantasy utopian cities, you’ll probably see a lot of filthy forest cabins and stone dungeons.

I LOVE elves!

I hate those whiny-ass half-elves! They don’t exist in Kaihals.

I prefer magic and spirituality to technology and politics.

I don’t like anything more high-tech than a watermill or a magnifying glass.

I find interpersonal relationships between characters the most interesting. I also grew up around a lot of psychology talk. Therefore, my writings usually explore character relationships and dysfunction. (Yep, read that again: DYSFUNCTION. My characters are not perfect people, people! So fuck off if you’re looking of idealistic characters and situations!)

I write for adults. So none of that YA and NA garbage, Ya-Naw???

I write about SEX! That’s right. I write about it—and it will even be mentioned in the stories that are not sexually charged (oh yeah, and a lot of my stories are sexually charged!)! Sex is a massive force in human existence. It’s literally the reason the human race is still going! It powers a large part of our motivations. It’s very present in our lives and hard to ignore. I find it endlessly interesting, not to mention FUN to write about. I write about sex and I’m not sorry about that. If you don’t like to read about sex—get outta here, Aunt Bee!

I like to write romantic storylines. But I hate those modern “romantasies” or “fantasy-romances” which get splatter-shit all over Amazon. Did that sentence make sense to you? It might be a tough one, but if what I just wrote offended you, you can leave now.

I like sad/poetic romances. I like to see the lovers get ripped apart or struggle to be together. If the characters don’t suffer, I’m bored.

My stories tend to be epic, giving plenty of attention to world development, adventure, and magic. I cut my teeth on books by R.A. Salvatore (the “Drizzt books”) and other epic fantasy from the 90’s and early 2000’s. Right now I’m playing BG3 and, (*sigh*) let me tell ya, that game just feels so right! The cast of characters, the adventure, the villains, the interweaving plotlines! Dear God! I write books like THAT!

I’m a metalhead, and therefore tend to like dark and macabre concepts. I have a special interest in the concept of human suffering… In fact, let’s put a heavy emphasis on DARK. Once again, I write about dark stuff and I’m not sorry! Things are about to get heated in these books, so look out!

I am also an artist, and my books are likely to feature illustrations. I hate those fuckin’ minimalistic covers! If you don’t like fancy covers featuring at least one character, and made with oil paint, eat it!

I love high tension, dark heroes, and danger! And when I say “danger” I mean real danger! Actually dangerous situations for the characters! Books without danger, tension, and conflict are super lame in my opinion.

If you’re still with me right now at the end of this statement, welcome to my audience! Now please go ahead and…
