The PsyEn Project
The PsyEn Project is a genre fantasy anthology following the oft-intersecting lives of five women in a world of might, magic, and psychics. The anthology contains three different series: Insight, Silence & Vanity, and Witches, each of which follow different characters from their own unique perspectives:
Insight: Reina Tethas is a private investigator with a lot of problems: she can’t quite escape the shadow of her war hero mother, she’s got another mouth instead of a right eye, and now – to top it all off – there is a serial killer at large with an unsettling interest in her specifically. Unfortunately for Reina, she is just clever enough to get herself into trouble, but not quite clever enough to get herself out of it. She’s going to have to learn, and learn fast if she’s going to survive long enough to find the truths that she seeks.
Silence & Vanity: Iris, a highly skilled assassin for hire, finds herself outmatched on what should’ve been a mundane job and rapidly strong-armed into a dangerous, perplexing, intrigue-filled new life as errand-woman for monsters, which still somehow makes her life the most comfortable it’s ever been. Between the power and the security, not to mention her burgeoning relationship with Amber – the self-assured hottie who strong-armed her into this mess in the first place – she’s starting to think that the perks might just outweigh the shackles.
Witches: Hushpuppy the Witch had long been satisfied with her routine: wander into a town, hawk magical goods, enjoy local cuisine, and eat the occasional Fae. It was the best possible life, she knew this for certain, having been at it for a couple centuries. Her usual routine gets turned on its head when she accidentally orphans and subsequently deorphans- unorphans- adopts..? A young Human girl she decides to call Nova. It turns out raising a Human is pretty difficult when you have the maternal instincts of a woodchipper.
Each of the series – Insight, Silence & Vanity, and Witches – all take place in the world of Sol’balim, and follow different perspective characters. The world building of each story builds upon the previous story, so I highly recommend following the reading order below. The Insight books follow Reina Tethas – a supernatural detective of sorts – through adventures that are more action-horror and mystery oriented. The Silence & Vanity stories follow Iris and Amber Isolde are more action-adventure and romance oriented. The Witch stories are Magic-focused, slice-of-life dark comedies that follow A Witch Called Hushpuppy and A Chore Girl Called Nova

Horror Short Stories
I originally started out a horror writer. Over the last few years much of this energy has gone into my game development endeavours, but I’m starting to get back into traditional horror writing lately, so here’s a section of the site dedicated to the various horrors I’ll be writing up!
Home is Where – CW: Infestation, Corruption, Filth, Fungus, Parasitism, Body Horror, Loss of Self
Other Short Stories
Here you can find other random, stand alone short stories that I’ve written that don’t specifically fall under the ‘horror’ genre. I’ll add them when I remember to and as I accidentally stumble upon things I forgot I wrote in my Google Drive!
Vectors of Control – A funny short story about a Witch and a Vampire that I wrote because I happen to be reading The Locked Tomb series while I was playing nothing but V Rising!
Hyperpop Apocalypse
Hyperpop Apocalypse is a book I’m presently writing on the side concerning a candy land-like apocalypse on Earth and how we got there. It’s a Magical Girl/Ex-Magical Girl story about cooperation, choosing kindness, and rebuilding in the face of the grudges people hold for each other. Here we follow the story of Alana Swain, previously known as the Magical Girl Candy Cain, in two different time periods. We bounce back and forth between the ‘before times’ – where we watch Alana Swain become a Magical Girl, grow up, live, love, and ultimately lose everything – and the post apocalypse, where we watch a tired adult Alana Swain do her best to help put back together a world that in many ways blames her and her ilk for its destruction.
This will be more of a 2024 into 2025 project, but the planning and outlining of the story is coming along quite nicely.
Stay tuned!
Crossfaded
Crossfaded is a graphic novel and the latest project I’m working on in collaboration with streamer and artist Forgottenfkr with a tentative Q3 2025 release date.
It is a cosmic stoner dark comedy about a young Witch, Two Worlds, and a lot of Weed. It is also a story about the changing nature of power; the old, the present and the new.
Eden, The Witch of Green, finds herself in the unenviable position of managing two apartment complexes in two different dimensions connected by a scar in reality. Between the unsolved murder of the previous superintendent, a suspicious Coven leader who knows more than she lets on, and otherworldly creatures trying to take her life… a living wage in a rent controlled apartment just might not be worth the trouble.
