Working on book 3 in a noir fantasy series. Spent 2 hours + looking up modern girl names that aren't too popular, but can have an androgynous nickname. But that I haven't already used, and isn't the name of someone I know in real life.


Like a


Charlotte - Charlie

Eliana - Eli

Olivia - Olie

Cassandra - Cass (reminds me of Supernatural)


Olivia and Charlotte are like in the top ten most popular names right now, though. Not sure if that's a good idea or a bad idea. Thoughts? Suggestions?

In New Bedlam, you pay for the view. In Rippertown, you pay for the silence. 🌌🏙️



Under the purple night sky and falling stars of the Netherworlds, the line between luxury and rot is razor-thin.



🏢NEW BEDLAM: The pinnacle of order. Clean streets, glass skyscrapers, and the home of Grim Enterprises. It’s expensive, exclusive, and strictly regulated by the Balance.

🗑️ RIPPERTOWN: What’s left when the city stops caring. Broken streets, skeletal ruins, and the discarded remains of those the Fates have finished with.



One city is built on credit; the other is built on consequences.

[ THE ARCHITECTURE OF ADMISSION ] 🏗️


"Most people build walls to keep the monsters out. I built a city to let mine breathe." — Alec VanGarret

Rippertown is for the people who still believe in hiding. They huddle in the shadows and pray the Fates don't notice the rot.

But Darkside? Darkside is the admission.

Alec didn't design these bloodbars and tunnels to be a sanctuary. He designed them to be a mirror. No gold leaf, no crystal, no lies. Just the raw, brutal weight of a man who stopped pretending he was anything other than the inevitable.



In Rose Noire, Victor Devereaux hides the monster. In Darkside, Alec becomes the machinery.

The Reality:
The descent continues in The Netherworlds II. You aren’t just reading about cities and family feuds; you’re reading about a revolution.

The monster isn't under the bed anymore. He’s the one who signed the blueprints.

Tell City is my first novel, and the first book I posted on Inkitt. When I originally submitted it, I left it in BIG chapters. But I learned Inkitt prefers chapters to be no more that 2000 words, and I don't remember the minimum.

So I've reposted Tell City into smaller chapters. This involved a lot of copy/paste from WattPad, so I hope I didn't miss anything.

I know that Romance is the most popular category on Inkitt and Wattpad and even in bookstores.

I've been trying to figure out my style because it is a hybrid style. It's darker. I've been told it is "tactile nihilism" and "cosmic indifference" "speculative fiction."

All I know is that I write about gods and men trying and failing to do their best. It's magic and myth, but it's grit and grime. It's a little bit horror, mystery, urban fantasy, dark academia.

I think it's good, but you guys will have to let me know. And if you are more of a Romance girlie, I hear you. I get it. But tag someone below you think might like this vibe.

Love you guys,
Happy Reading!

a year ago

Lords and ladies, gods and goddesses, as always, during dark midwinter, we join together despite our differences, to share our stories, honor our past, and to dream of a bright and shiny new dawn. But, this year is different, because... because, with the return of the sun- It’s not just the dawn of a new year, but a new age! The Age of Aquarius is upon us. The return of Albian! It is a time, not to dream of change, but to effect change. So eat, drink, and be merry, for there’s no better night to do it than on the longest night of the year. And then tomorrow, awake, arise into a brave new world with the worst fucking hangover you’ve ever had! Happy Yule!
