Chamber of Power [Ongoing] - FREE to Read
Magic, once purged from the Kingdom of Magh, has returned. This time, the world might not survive.
Lyn has the rare ability to sense, even see, the magic in things and people. Outcast, she offers her skills for hire, not caring for what as long as she’s paid. Success after success sends her ego flying high, and her reputation spreads far and wide. She believes she’s unstoppable and there’s nothing she can’t do.
So teaming up with a too-clean street sweeper, Tass, wasn’t part of her plan. Being around him is like throwing water on hot oil, but she needs him to complete the most important job she’s ever taken: to find the secret behind the Chamber of Power, a mythical place said to hold the power of a thousand suns, and the source of a darkness bleeding into the land that’s corrupting people and places.
Their search has Lyn questioning everything she thought she knew, and seriously worried they’re already too late to save the world.
Chamber of Power is a fantasy serial dripping with magic, portals, and creatures that follows characters struggling to know themselves even as they strive to solve the mystery of the Chamber of Power.

Target 10 [Complete Serial Version] - FREE to Read
Join Reby, Jemy, and RJ on a thrilling space adventure as they search for alien treasure in a dangerous and cutthroat galaxy. The Cooperative Region is a patchwork of worlds, each with its own set of challenges and rewards. For the crew of the Demption, it’s the perfect place to make a fortune as taries—scavengers who find and sell ancient artifacts.
Siblings Reby and Jemy have both lost everything and are desperate for a second chance. Together, they hope to find the evidence Jemy needs to prove his theory about non-human civilizations and restore his academic reputation. But as they journey to their next target, they must also confront their own personal demons and the dangers that come with seeking out elusive treasures.
With the help of their talented yet troublesome life-long friend RJ, the trio sets off on the Demption, a souped up freighter equipped for long voyages. But when they arrive at their destination, Target 10, they quickly realize the risks they’re taking maybe be greater than they ever imagined.
Reminiscent of beloved sci-fi tales like Firefly, Target 10 is a thrilling and action packed space adventure that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Warning for strong language, mild drug and sexual references (the occasional f-word is as bad as it gets, sex is offscreen, and drugs are future-non-existent ones).
