Not your typical reverse harem… Gryphon shifter Gesa Lionheart isn’t your typical heroine. Screwed over by her family—a stunningly medieval gryphon clan that is supposed to value loyalty and truth—the former bodyguard sets out on her own to a remote city growing in the Michigan wilderness. With little in the way of life skills outside her clan training, and no one to depend on, she becomes a bounty hunter—chasing down low-level supernatural criminals for the local human police department. Gesa knew life would be hard outside the clan, but she had no way of predicting just how strange her life would become, all thanks to a beautiful but dangerous male fae and a simple missing person’s case. Now she’s over her head in a world that isn’t what it seems, where humans can almost see the truth, rich supe philanthropists make people disappear with ease, and harem lion prides aren’t just for males…. Gryphon’s Pride is a reverse harem romance novella with an urban fantasy feel. Suitable for mature readers (and those with a sense of humor) only. If swearing, sex, or talk of past trauma are offensive to you, this might not be your thing. Author’s Note: I was tired of reading the same old thing over and over again in reverse harem. Sick of all alpha male and fainting female all the time—and desperate to be able to tell the male characters apart—I tried to infuse some variety into my story. Gesa might not be your cup of tea, and that’s okay—she doesn’t care. Her lovers are as varied in physicality and personality as they are in supernatural race. And the characters all have their own definition of sexuality. I know reverse harem is all about the fantasy, and my fantasy is a bit outside the norm. You’ve been warned.

Reverse Harem Urban Fantasy

Gryphon's Pride

When Gesa escaped her oppressive clan to become a bounty hunter in a growing backwater city, she never imagined she would end up dating a fae. She might try her best to deny Oisin’s jokes about her starting a pride—a harem reserved for male gryphons—but Gesa is growing dangerously fond of their roommate and secretary, the unassuming human, Con. But romantic issues are the least of Gesa’s worries. Her ancient, deadly fae lover is hiding something. And a spate of animal killings leads the amateur detectives right to a murderer who hides in the open, sure of his supremacy over those he hunts. When Gesa and Oisin are wounded and nearly killed, Con has no choice to take matters into his own hands to protect the pride, putting the breakable—and idiotically reckless—human right in the way of a killer.

Heart of the Pride

My family is dead and gone. But they left their grimoire behind. Now it's my job to free the powerful magical beings trapped in the pages. I might just find a whole new family…if they don't kill me first. I was just a kid when my family was executed for starting a magical war, forcing me to live my life in the human world, far away from the judgment and scorn of the magical world—and far away from the weirdos who want me to tell them all my dangerous Lovell family secrets. But when a cursed grimoire containing enslaved magical beings falls into my lap, I can't continue to avoid my family's craptastic legacy of pain and suffering. Now, thanks to the nagging of an annoyingly moral ghost, I'm off to free the powerful (and pissed-off) creatures in the bestiary. I'm nothing like my horrible family. But my newfound attraction to dangerous magical beings who could murder me without a thought… yeah, that might indicate otherwise. Author's Note This story is part of my serial, The Bestiary, on Kindle Vella. It is part of an ongoing series, and I will continue to release new books as the story progresses. A Cursed Legacy is 141,000 words long. The major plot arc is resolved, however since this is a series, a new complication is introduced at the end of the book, so expect a little twist/cliffy. If you are interested in reading book 2 as I write it, you can find it on Vella. Season 2/Book 2 starts on episode 43. You can also read along on my Patreon page. Content Warnings *poly romance, contains MF, MM, FF, NB/intersex romantic interactions, as well as multiples *swearing and explicit sexual content *some characters have suffered trauma in their past, most of which is off page/mentioned in passing *there is one scene where a character with PTSD loses control during a BDSM session. The MC is not actually harmed, but this may be triggering to some readers *stupid humor and a sarcastic main character who is just done with the world's bullshit, but also has a moral compass no matter how much she wants to wish otherwise

A Cursed Legacy

Wyvern

Not quite human, not quite beast. Not quite female, not quite male. Sometimes hunter, sometimes prey. Always alone. Until them. Fiend hunter Sam “Sabertooth” Forest is used to being on the outskirts. A cur with a mix of shifter and human blood, Sam can’t fully shift to beast but can’t fully pass as human. Through sheer determination, and a desire to protect the broken shifter woman who raised them, Sam has managed to eek out a place of their own in a world devastated by the rift that allowed monsters to spill into the earth plane. Sam hunts monsters, sometimes curs and mongrels just like Sam. The work might be dangerous, and the humans might want to put the mixed breed hunter on their hitlist, but it’s a job. It’s freedom. Sam works alone and trusts no one. The next hunt should bring in a big bounty—big enough to pay the pack extortion fee and keep Sam’s adoptive mother safe through winter. But when a Leprechaun horns in on the unicorn hunt and tricks Sam into forming a hunter’s guild, Sam is suddenly burdened by an overabundance of people. Setting off to hunt one-horned murder beasts with an annoying leprechaun and a nerdy half-ogre is bad enough. But when you add in a betrayal by the seductive siren Sam has loved since childhood, and the machinations of a rich human politician, well…Sam’s simple, lonely little life just got a whole lot more complicated. Author’s Note: I love reverse harem, but I got sick of reading the same old tropes. In my books you will find atypical characters and varied sexuality. In general, you probably won’t find many alpha males or fainting females. The Not Quite series is a harem/reverse harem urban fantasy series of novellas (between 35,000-45,000 words) and contains the following: *adult language, and lots of it *moderate levels of violence/gore/action *graphic sexual situations *polyamory/ multiple lovers *LBGTQ and straight themes (the main character is intersex and will have both male and female lovers, and this is a harem, so expect M/F, M/M, F/F, MMMFF etc.) *as usual, my characters all have their own emotional scars. This means the book MAY contain mentions of abuse, unpleasant situations, etc. Please do not read if you are triggered by things like this. **This is a series, so while there will always be a complete plot cycle of some kind, there may be a lead in to the next book. The book does not end on a "Cliffhanger" where the action stops right in the middle with no resolution, like some books tend to these days. The main plot arc is brought to a FOR NOW conclusion, and there is a set up for the next book. If you aren't in to that, please pass on by.

Not Quite Human

So many lovers, so little...sanity. Gesa is dealing with a sickening overabundance of FEELINGS. No matter how she might resist it, her gryphon side insists she claim her pride--as if she were a damned alpha lion. But she has other priorities. Like getting rid of the squatters in her bookstore home, keeping Hisashi from going insane...and what the hell is up with Oisin? Danger is looming, and the pride might not make it out intact. Author’s Note: I was tired of reading the same old thing over and over again in reverse harem. Sick of all alpha male and fainting female all the time—and desperate to be able to tell the male characters apart—I tried to infuse some variety into my story.

Gesa’s Menagerie books are novellas of between 30,000-40,000 words. This is a series. There will be unresolved plot threads at times/ occasional cliff hangers. Do NOT read this series if you are easily offended. Contains: mentions of past trauma/rape, adult language (that’s cursing kids, lots of it), and sexual content (including male/female, male/male, female/female, male/male/female, female/female/male and any other combination you can think of. Oh, and probably some tentacles and diphallia).

Wounded Pride

Gesa does NOT have a pride. Only male gryphons need a whole harem of lovers to stroke their egos. But when a fortune-telling fox from the county fair and a captive mute sea-dweller turn to Gesa for help, she can’t turn them away. Sometimes being a creature of valor and loyalty is a pain in the ass. Meanwhile, Gesa’s stubborn fae lover, Oisin, is on edge. Danger is creeping nearer, and he is determined to face it alone, as he always has—even if it destroys him. Add in a controlling politician of unknown origin, the building family drama Gesa is determined to ignore back in the clan lands, and some time spent tracking down imps. Maybe it will take an entire pride to survive this after all. Author’s Note: I was tired of reading the same old thing over and over again in reverse harem.

With Pride

I’ve spent my whole life being used by a cult for my healing abilities, always serving the will of The Mother. Then they came, chasing rumors of a powerful healing artifact. Instead of a necklace or a charm, they found a person. So, they stole me instead. My whole life has been a lie, and I now find myself surrounded by powerful paranorms I thought were extinct. They need me to heal their self-proclaimed “princess”—a powerful shifter who is secretly leading a rebel court that seeks to overthrow the local paranormal syndicate. My kidnappers treat me with more kindness and respect than my family has ever shown me. But can I trust anything they say? Or are they just using me too? Life with my supposed family taught me one thing; the prettier the lie, the easier it is to swallow. The Love and Revenge series features a lost woman who is determined to find herself, and the men and women who love her. It is suitable for mature audiences only. Contains poly relationships and LGBTQ+ characters.

Blinded

I thought I had found a family. I thought I had found freedom. But it seems I'm destined to always be someone's possession. I don't know if my found family is still even alive thanks to the chaos when I was stolen. And now I'm drowning in the overwhelming decadence of the fae sect of the syndicate. The more I learn about Robin's court, the more I question their motives. Maybe it all really was just pretty lies. The fae are cold and terrible, but alluring in their own way. And they are willing to use a combination of mistreatment, manipulation, mind tricks, and sweet words to get information about my abilities and the rebel court. I can't control my powers, and I don't know anything about Robin's plans. But telling them that seems more dangerous than playing their games. They've sent one of their kind to befriend me. But I won't fall for that trick again. Friends are a luxury you can't afford when everyone wants to use you for your magic. The Love and Revenge series features a lost woman who is determined to find herself, and the men and women who love her. Finding your place in the world isn't easy, and this story is suitable for mature audiences only. Contains poly relationships and LGBTQ+ characters. Author's Note *This story is paranormal poly romance (which means multiple consensual lovers within the relationship.) There will be MF, FF, MM and MMFFMM scenes as the series progresses. *This story contains explicit sex scenes and mature language. *These characters have tragic/traumatic backstories. If you know me, you know you can be assured of a HEA, BUT if you’re easily triggered, please just pass on by. *Contains some alpha/beta/omega elements, but reimagined. *Contains characters with varied forms of sexual preference and gender expression, including straight, bi/pan, and transgender characters. If it makes your little heart happy, and you’ve stuck with me thus far, then come on in, there’s a seat right here by the fire. Would you like a virtual cup of tea? (We’re currently out of pet dragons, sorry.) *This book is part of a series, so there is a hook/cliffhanger/lead-in to the next book. This book is a full length novel over 80k words, and with progress/development in multiple plot arcs, not of all which are resolved in this book, but will be ongoing.

Stolen

The tentacles are coming out. Iolani Lionheart is done playing around. Caught up in the schemes of her demon godfather, she and her (sometimes difficult) cult of lovers travel across the country to stop a powerful human group bent on genocide. Bashing baddies and saving the day is nothing new for Io. But nothing is ever as it seems with her ridiculous family. And convincing the last of her reluctant lovers to trust her with their hearts (and their darkness) might prove more challenging than she anticipated…. But hey, there’s t-shirts! Author’s Notes *This book in particular includes scenes that may be distasteful for some readers (but are contextual and acceptable if you’re a hungry goblin), including knife play and some mild pain/blood play. (Don’t worry, it’s consensual and krakens are made of hardy stuff, but you’ve been warned). *Includes mentions of past trauma, including but not limited to: implied threat of sexual abuse as a minor, bullying, violence, emotional trauma in the characters’ backstories. *So much swearing. Seriously. *Explicit sex with varying levels of heat and kink possible. *Series contains M/F, F/F, M/M, MMMMFF romance. *Characters with gender fluidity, non-binary/intersex characters, gender bending/gender swap, gray ace, and any other orientation you can think of may appear in this series. *Let’s face it, you’re thinking about reading a book with a kraken main character. There may be tentacles put to use in ways that make some people uncomfortable. It’s just to be expected. *Kraken’s Cult books are longer novellas to shorter novels (40,000-50,000+) words.

Release the Kraken

What’s more fun than dragging a politician, an ogre, a leprechaun, and a hired killer across the wastelands to retrieve a human passenger? Anything. Anything would be more enjoyable than this—even hunting hungry fiends. Sam is questioning their life choices. Maybe it would just be easier to murder the idiots and leave the bodies in the wastelands. But, growl as Sam might, everyone knows the hunter will do the right thing. And helping the idealistic human sovereign move his family member and closest advisor from Golding to Westhold is the right thing to do. Too bad the raiders, hyena beasts, and giant death worms don’t seem to think so…. Tension grows, emotions run high, and heads roll…uh, literally…as Sam takes one more step away from their solitary life and toward actually caring about people—or terrifying monsters, whatever.

Not Quite Hunter

Gender-bending half fae, half kraken shifter Iolani Lionheart has been handed a perfect excuse to stay in Florida with her new flame, but it turns out her demon godfather may have other reasons for keeping her where she is. A new goddess overlord has arrived in Florida, and Io has been tasked with helping her settle in. Old flames and interesting new friends are drawing Io in, and for once she feels like she might have a chance at happiness. Until the sweetest man she knows goes missing.... Author’s Notes *Kraken’s Cult books are longer novellas to shorter novels (40,000-50,000+) words. They may or may not include cliff-hangers.

You're Kraken Me Up

When life seems to good to be true, it usually is. That’s a lesson that monster hunter Sam Forrest learned early and has had beaten into them often. So, when their relationship with two amazing guys and the luxury of a big paycheck from their last job seems too good to be true…. Tensions in Westhold are rising with the ascension of a new leader who has some radical ideas about what the relationship between humans, curs, and fiends should look like. Sam soon finds themselves swept up in the upheaval that comes with changing the status quo. Just when Sam finally lets their guard down, they end up reeling from the loss of someone close to them, which throws them into a battle with the wild instincts of their shifter side. Hunters like Sam are often hired to kill curs who go feral under stress. This time, it might be Sam who ends up as the prey.

Not Quite Prey

From book 1: Troya has given up her mythology geek ways to focus on pursuing her nursing degree. She’s made weird, but fierce, friends in the growing city of Ontonagon in the four years since she arrived as an orphaned, wounded teenager. She’s managing to make something of herself, despite the loss of her real family. But it seems like the universe has other plans for her. Weird visions, hallucinations that make her closest friends seem like monsters…probably just an over-the-top-reaction to all the stress in her life. (Either that, or it’s a brain tumor.) When a creepy run-in with a monster during her clinical rotations at the hospital threatens to make her fail out of school, Troya thinks it can’t possibly get any worse. But she’s wrong. So wrong. The world Troya has known all her life is ripped away in one weird night, and even two hot roommates-turned-lovers might not be enough to salvage things. Not when her entire existence is overshadowed by the memory of a dark prince bathed in blood—and the pain that drove her to forget everything. *The Gods and Demons series is a spin off from the Gesa’s Menagerie series.

The Gods and Demons Series

At twenty-eight years old, Sam thought they were old enough to stop making terrible decisions. But taking a merc job for a human millionaire can’t be described as anything else. Neither can drinking so much fairy moonshine that you forget there are good reasons not to let yourself think with your…parts. Hunting people is a whole different world than hunting supernatural beasts, and Sam and their guild might not come out on the winning side of this one. When the goons Sam is hired to track down fight back with magic, it rapidly becomes apparent that Theo isn’t telling the whole story about why people want him dead. Sam loses Fin and Emerson, and it takes drastic measures to get them back, including working with a bunch of assholes Sam knows better than to trust. And why the hell do Sam’s most inconvenient shifter impulses choose now to kick in? Sometimes a half-human, half-monster, half-male, half-female fiend hunter just can’t catch a break….

Not Quite Beast

"When will I learn to stop thinking things can't get any worse?" After losing her husband and child, losing her humanity to a wendigo attack and being shackled to a couple of shadowy monster hunters, Tess just assumed life was done throwing her curve balls. She was wrong. Strange creatures are flocking to her for protection from a new hunter who insists Tess and her ghoul are abominations that are better off dead. Her pet bird might be a ghost, death is whispering in her ear and it seems Tess isn't quite done turning into a monster. That's just the tip of the ice burg. And if people don't stop talking about ridiculous things like responsibility and love, she just might lose her mind. Caught between humanity and darkness, Tess learns the hard way that not all humans are good, not all monsters are bad and not all stories have a happy ending. The Wendigo Girl series is a series of short novels between 40,000-50,000 words with elements of urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and occasional light horror. Contains mature language, some sexual content, and some graphic violence.

Creeping Beauty

Caron is the strongest preternatural in the world. Divine like him are balanced, empathic, and semi-prophetic. He can manifest spirit wings, perform magic, and shift to any form, human or animal. Why then, is he so powerless to help those he loves? Yun is a broken Shifter. Unable to control his powers, he puts others at risk as he loses himself to his beast more and more every day. He is also doomed to love a man he can never have, one who can only suffer as he watches Yun self-destruct. Sylvi is a Fallen Angel with stunted wings and a lack of magic that makes her a burden to her aristocratic family and a target for the stronger preternaturals around her. She has no place in the world, until she meets a beautiful Divine who insists she is missing part of her soul. And that he knows how to find it. Caron struggles to unite two halves of a fractured soul. But he soon runs afoul of a monster more powerful than anything he has ever seen. The creature is the deranged result of a madman's sick experiments. And he has plans for Caron and his friends that will make Caron question even his own place in the world.

Unable to sustain herself without the risk of tainting other humans with her infectious bite, Tess is losing herself to the wendigo madness. New allies bring new hope, but relying on the magic of strangers has its own dangers-and even that might not be enough to save her life. Or the lives of the others who rely on her for protection. All the while the hunters move closer, bent on destroying the unseen creatures of the shadowed forests...simply because they exist. War is coming to her doorstep, and there is nothing Tess can do to stop it. Tess once again finds herself torn between the monsters and the humans. Between death and life.

Mangled

The final book in the Reluctant Necromancer series! With everyone home safe, Esper can finally focus on finding a permanent body for Awan. But can she trust herself enough to use her powers for good—and can she tie the skinwalker to her forever? Cue magic lessons from one crazy old aunt, and a few animal test subjects. But on the cusp of success, the town faces a threat that will put Esper’s murder to the test, and bring them face to face with the supernatural council. Esper never wanted responsibility. She just wanted to be left alone with her creepy hobbies and her creepy old house. Now suddenly she’s responsible for the safety of the entire town of Hellsfork…. Author’s Note: Fed up with the usual tropes in romance and reverse harem? I wanted characters that are more than the fainting female and alpha male cookie cutter stereotypes that saturate the genre. (There’s nothing wrong with it, if you like that sort of thing, but it just got old for me!) People come in all shapes, sizes, personalities, and gender/sexual orientations—so when I pick up a book and have trouble telling the difference between the characters…that’s a problem. *The Reluctant Necromancer series is a sequence of novellas between 35,000-40,000 words in length. While the main plot arc in each book will be resolved, there may be mild cliffhangers/segue into the next book with new issues arising. *This author’s characters are as flawed and damaged as real life—do not read if you are easily offended by talk of past trauma of any kind. This includes uncomfortable situations of any kind—sexual, physical, mental/emotional. (No explicit scenes of this nature, generally, but they will talk about what’s happened in the past and it may be distasteful if you are easily triggered). This book specifically references past trauma in one of the characters. *Contains mature adult content, including but not limited to: graphic sex, adult language (that means swearing, folks) and fictional situations with some gore and or action/violence. *This is a reverse harem urban fantasy, and the author firmly believes love is love, and as such includes themes of: polyamory (multiple lovers), MF, MMF, MM, FF, and MMMFF love.

Soulromance

Reluctant necromancer Esper Jones had a quiet life, hidden away with her freak looks, and her freak powers, in her freaky old witch’s house. But her beautiful, ghost-whispering boyfriend Toma has destroyed her carefully crafted, people-free life. Now she’s hearing voices in her head, monsters are running amok in Hellsfork, and there’s this vampire she can’t seem to shake. Somewhere between the black witches, hungry ghouls, and cowboy vampire hunters, Esper finds herself with a growing circle of people who actually seem to care for her (for some weird reason). Now, if she can just keep them all alive, when death is really more her thing…. Author’s Note: Fed up with the usual tropes in romance and reverse harem?

People come in all shapes, sizes, personalities, and gender/sexual orientations—so when I pick up a book and have trouble telling the difference between the characters…that’s a problem. *The Reluctant Necromancer series is a sequence of novellas between 35,000-40,000 words in length. While the main plot arc in each book will be resolved, there may be mild cliffhangers/segue into the next book with new issues arising. *This author’s characters are as flawed and damaged as real life—do not read if you are easily offended by talk of past trauma of any kind. This includes uncomfortable situations of any kind—sexual, physical, mental/emotional. (No explicit scenes of this nature, generally, but they will talk about what’s happened in the past and it may be distasteful if you are easily triggered). *Contains mature adult content, including but not limited to: graphic sex, adult language (that means swearing, folks) and fictional situations with some gore and or action/violence. *This is a reverse harem urban fantasy, and the author firmly believes love is love, and as such includes themes of: polyamory (multiple lovers), MF, MMF, MM, FF, and MMMFF love.
