Cameron H. Mac Cian is next in line to inherit Avalon, his family’s million-dollar shipping company built on anti-magic sentiments. In this alternative contemporary setting, there are two broad classifications of magic. New Magic is a mixture of learned science and intuition while Old Magic is innate and unfiltered folk practices that are congenital. Unable to conceal his true nature any longer and deemed dangerous by those he loves, Cameron’s family sends him to the outskirts of Ireland where an expert in Old Magic resides—hoping to eradicate his fate as a banshee.
BETWEEN THE CLOTHESLINES was influenced by my love of being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, addressing my personal journey with ancestral connections, and an exploration of grief in a new light.
There once was man of no name,
Who lived a life untamed.
Through one long adventure,
He denounced his indenture.
Nameless, he lives on in fame.
The Chapney Grove is as pompous and dreadful as it seems. In the early morning hours of a dreary autumn night, one 19-year-old gardener decides he has had enough. No more uniforms, no more listening to the butler, no more afternoon tea, no more sneaking around late at night to seek the affections of the Grove’s Lord, scientist Christopher Ainsworth. With nothing here for his future and a past too scandalous to repair, he sets out on an unlikely adventure in the hopes to find a sense of identity and family simply with a ring of keys as he weaves through the fabric of time.
In an ancient civilization on a remote island, the ocean conquers emotion and emotion conquers people. Blessed by the god of neutrality, the royal bloodline rules with strict positivity. They call it your a'nonah - the essence of your disposition at birth matched by a patron god who will watch over you until the end. Happiness graces the royal family, but the new heir is consumed by her anger. Evna is misunderstood by her people and her family, only her younger brother, Bavoo, accepts her.
It begins with two gods, brothers, gifted a beautiful field of sunflowers. Akraitl and Acozectal gladly accept this gift from their matriarch, The Sun Mother.
Akraitl boasts that he will be able to take care of the field best because of his natural strength. He believes that the sunflowers were placed here for he and his brother’s own personal gain - gifts to them and only them. They brighten up the darkness of the world, but can not hide it.
Acozectal believes that they are merely here to take care of the flowers, that the brothers are mere specks of darkness contrasting to the brightness of their mother on this land. He prides himself on the ability to take care of the flowers more because of his ability to give the flowers love and attention - not to harness or overcome their beauty.
The brothers often feud over the sunflowers and how to care for them. They are both hot headed by nature, as they were born from The Sun Mother’s rays; placed upon the earth with no knowledge of their own commitments, when given a single task the brothers fought both for their own ideals

Only the oldest humans remember what it was like when the world came into color.
It is the Year of the Consulship of Maximus and Cotta and there's something ancient and powerful right under the unsuspecting citizens of a Roman suburb. Told in four different point-of-views, Iuniperus follows the journey of the ancient being Juniper, the local weirdo Camillia, her brother-in-law Antonius, and his housemaid Stella.
All the tales the same
Told before and told again
A soul that’s born in cold and rain
Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight.
And at last can grant a name
To a buried and a burning flame
As love and its decisive pain.
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
All that was shown to me, sunlight
Was somethin' foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight.
