I am canceling some of my stories. I cannot keep these works going forward for one reason or another.The following stories are being removed from the list. Some of them will be replaced by revamped concepts.Lost CloneLove is CruelLouis the MasterDarkness and MagicI laid out these stories some years ago when I was very head strong about getting things finished. And no, it is not just time, it is about a lot of things. Changed opinions. Changed minds. I am a different person than when I started the outlines for the series these books were going to be a part of.

It has been trying these past few months.For me to actually write has been difficult. I went from full time student to full time worker.Since I got a full time job with a secure salary, I have been able to do more. I have increased my livelihood with hobbies that I enjoy, outside of writing. It has become difficult to focus on writing for that reason.This is in no way a farewell. Nor is it an excuse. I feel bad for having left my poor writings alone to wither.I'll be doing my best to pick them up where I last left off.I will also be doing some updates for this website.

It's over, I'm back baby! So, while I am not coming in full swing, there are some things that I need to finish up. The hiatus was unexpected, having been taken up with research thesis work and the stress related to that. I have not had the time to just sit down and think about anything but my research thesis. If you want to know about my research thesis (called a Capstone at CSUMB) then please visit my ePortfolio.  So the following are things I will be working to get squared away in the next few

Unhallowed Ground has in part been delayed because of an awesome new idea I got for the cover. I was not sure about it, because it was not fully fleshed out. The original plan was going to be some simple symbol, similar to the Necros' Rise cover. However, this one is going to be a bit better. If you would like to follow the progress of this cover art (and give suggestions on it) you can go to this link on deviantart, where I will be posting all of the WIPs. Please note that earlier WIP comments

Warning: The following message includes minor spoilers to the story Lost Clone.If you are undaunted...continue...If you are sadenned by spoilers to a story, then turn back now.Just go on to some other post or page...Still here?Oh good!This gives me space to make sure that those who are disgruntled by spoilers are able to turn back.So here it is.Lost Clone (Academia de Diversidad #5) is going to be a very mature story.This is not a new concept for me, but I feel like it is transcending its own series. This may be jolting for readers who have come to this point.This is a trigger warning for readers, for the following:Sexual themes, Sexual jokes, Homosexuality, Rape, Rape culture, Rape jokes and Uncomfortable scenes surrounding these concepts.This story is not an erotica. It is not meant to be erotic.This story is not a comedy. But it is also not a horror.This story does not acknowledge society's qualms as acceptable, because rape culture regretably exists.This story will be fairly uncomfortable.I have been writing a while now and I have learned what it means to readers to come across an uncomfortable scene.For this reason, I feel like the increasingly graphic instances in this story require warning.This is not like War of the Zealot Empire, where the story took on these concepts early.It is meant to be taken more seriously, less for entertainment and more for thought.I am making this statement because I feel that this story is a piece of art that has something important to say. It is not just a story for readers' entertainment. It has a lot of important things to say and questions to pose.I am using my format, story telling, to give an opinion, to ask questions, and provoke thought.This is my way of giving a speech, writing an article, or otherwise being politically active in the world.With that in mind, I will take all criticisms applicable. But, I want readers to know that this series is getting darker and more serious with some uncomfortable situations. And there is nothign that will change my mind.

I have been hard at work trying to edit the manuscript for this book...but it's...it's not going so far.   Most things are going to be on pause in the meantime.

I am sorry to say that I had intended to get this book published a week ago.   The work load on its editing was underestimated, so I apologize for those waiting for this book.   I am unsure about when I will get this book finished. But it will probably be done within the next week.

I have been waiting so long to share Love is Blind with everybody! I have loved writing this book (hence why the book is so long and it took so long) and I cannot wait to get feedback from readers!   It is now available in paperback. eBook format should be finished in about a month.   Here is the official cover art for it!      

So, in case you have not heard, I have handed over the reins to this title's cover over to Akasha.   She has been working on art for years.   I enjoy her work with colors and I look forward to seeing what she does with this cover.   I will keep you all updated when I hear more about what the concept will be.

When I started this series, there was  a bit of snark in me. But I have to say...I've fallen in love with it.   I did not think I would like it so much as I do now. Just writing it and having these characters. I already have a whole list of sub-series laid out to follow Academia de Diversidad, within the World of Shadows universe.   Now I have pondered a cross over with the Caliri du Aspiratorg universe, as both universes have similarities and magic, but I am a bit iffy on that idea. I feel like
