I hope to someday publish my novels as actual can-hold-them-in-your-hands books.
When I first started writing I intended on making a webcomic of my story, but as I got deeper into the plot line I decided a novel was a better format. Because I like to draw, though, I am also adding images to my stories, creating novel/comic hybrids.
My stories:
Title: Finding Daecon's Way
Genres: Shapeshifter fantasy, Magic, LGBTQ, BL, Slow Burn
Synopsis: Daecon Doe is a young affluent gay man who, after finding himself facing near certain death, discovers quite by accident that he is a shapeshifter. Follow along as he makes some new friends, discovers old secrets, encounters unknown enemies, and tries to find his way in this new world of magic, betrayal and murder that he didn't even know existed. Story will eventually develop into a modified Omegaverse/MPreg (they are shapeshifters, not werewolves, but there will be some similarities)
Format: Illustrated webnovel. Each episode reads like a novel but contains imagery as well.
Status: Ongoing. Updates Saturdays. Occasional Wednesday updates as well, with bonus content such as character profiles and holiday specials.
Title: Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days
Genres: LGBTQ, BL, Coming of Age, Slice of Life, Coming Out, Nonfiction
Synopsis: This is a story about Carmen, a perfectly normal young man with a secret. Join him as he navigates puberty, the teenage years, and his 20's trying to find love and happiness in a world seemingly determined to keep these things from him. Set in the 1980s, 1990's, and early 2000's.
Content Warning: This is based on a true story. I am Carmen. Many disturbing things have happened to myself and people that I care about, and those things are presented here as they happened. Subjects such as childhood death, mental illness, homophobia, substance abuse, religious fanaticism, and self harm/suicide are all covered. It's not all bad news though: interspersed among the angst there are plenty of happy moments as well, even if some of them may be fleeting... Also contains sexual content in later chapters
Format: Illustrated Webnovel. Like Finding Daecon's Way, this story reads as a novel but has illustrations. In the early chapters the illustrations are infrequent, but toward the end every episode gets a new one.
Status: This story is complete. While the main story is complete there will be sporadic updates with new short stories related to the main novel. Currently at 83 episodes, roughly 181,500 words.
