Ancient and forgotten - the true gods have appeared on Earth. Their leader is the god Halgenon, who has a plan to cleanse the Earth, following a script from holy books that have been long since lost. First come the meteors, then floods, then earthquakes, killing all living beings and transforming the world into something new. Who can stop the world from being torn apart and changed into something unrecognizable? Along comes a motley crew including a Russian hitman, two humans, a demigoddess, plus a few gods who just happen to like the world the way it is. Can they stop the world from being purged, or will the power of the gods prove too strong?Cover Art by Emily Rose Herrington

They are the owner of the media production company Hela's Hand Productions, which has released multiple films, a comic book, and music. They are a composer, writer, singer, actor, film producer, director, and photographer, and spends their life creating stories. Currently, they have one published novel, "Blasphemy", an urban fantasy novel about an original pantheon of gods who want to end the world.
Blasphemy is book 1 of an urban fantasy series. It sets up a world where there are multiple gods (of Earth, Death, Sun, Pencils, etc.) and a villain of sorts that is intent on destroying that world thru any and all apocalyptic means. There is some good character development, but there are also a lot of characters to keep track of. I like that the author really tried to incorporate diversity, especially through relationships and gender identity. Not bad for a debut novel. :)
Fun book! Loved all the twists in the plot and all the gods who interacted in the story. Never could guess what would come next or how it would end. Ending was satisfying - wasn't a soppy ending where everything magically all works out. Character development was good - which was quite an achievement since there were SO many characters. Fun read.
