Love Unfortunate Ebook & Kindle Release

I’m very happy to announce the release of my short story “Love Unfortunate” in PDF and Amazon Kindle formats. This piece is the inspiration for my current WIP novel tentatively titled, “Sleeping Poison.” Keeping in vein with all my work, it is dark, angsty, morally ambiguous, and meant to be read with an open mind.

Sleeping Poison Chapter One

Liana’s smooth brow betrayed her patrimony by furrowing in a human manner. She released her prey with a small gasp. He rolled off her body without a sound. Sitting up, she studied his complexion with a keen eye. He was deathly pale, lips colorless, barely trembling with breath. Despite his poor condition, Liana knew he was going to survive this encounter.

Thank you, Sir. You’ve done much good this day.

Sleeping Poison Prologue

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Knowing that this thing’s existence is only of your choosing. Omnipotence is just so addictive…” Sculpted cheeks hollowed and a bitter smile creased his lips. “No wonder you love it so much.”

You’re wrong. I never loved having it over you.

Somehow Liana couldn’t make her throat form the words. Instead, visceral shame forced her to look away.

Sleeping Sins Excerpt

You have brought me low, my love. I live for your smiles and die with each tear. You look through me, seeing what you wish and not seeing what I’ve become.

You have brought me low, my love. Madness courts me as I lie here waiting for you. My madness can never be greater than yours and for that I am truly beyond all hope.

You have brought me low, my love. You have truly brought me low.
