My Published Fiction:
Gentlefolk - A timid woman faces her deepest fears in order to try and reclaim her stolen child from local Fair Folk. Only to discover that everything she’s been taught about them might be wrong.
The New Gods - Society is populated by gods, new and old. Some are more frightening than others.
Gunpowder Sigil - In a windblown Western town, a young girl conducts a summoning ritual for a spectral gunslinger. Magical realism meets the Western.
The Undertaker’s Apprentice - A lovesick undertaker in training goes on a disastrous first date, with a corpse as a third wheel.
The Young Immortal - A relatively youthful member of the immortal community reflects on his first century of life and his relationship with his oft-reincarnated soulmate.
The Bear - An anxiety-ridden young man with a talent for avoiding his problems decides not to acknowledge the grizzly bear trapped in his bedroom during a busy a day.
Strange New Worlds Anthology - A compilation of my short fiction, including previously published and previously unseen works. Set to release in 2021.
Happy writing, everybody!

As promised, here is my guide for Magical Plants.
I know it took long, I’ve got my studies to blame for that.
There’s also a variant rule on the first page for those of you who want to use this alongside my Creating Magic Items guide.
Picture from Google.
Enjoy! :)
