THE TRIALS OF A GODDESS

TRACKING THE VIXEN (WORKING TITLE)
Characters from The Hidden Celestial series make a reappearance in this novel
Alexa Uiscena and the love of her life, Chris Vargen (who also happens to be a wolf), are spending some well-deserved alone time at a forest retreat on Earth when they suddenly stumble across the biggest secret of the century. Chris, a newly-made detective, has been trying to figure out who the parents of his adopted sister are, and they just found their first clue, but it sends them straight into danger. Despite Alexa's excellent reputation as the water elemental who saved the world, her abilities aren't what they used to be, so they must figure out the truth through hard work, and avoid those that wish to cover it up.

NIGHTBRAND CHRONICLES
Part of a trilogy
This is a dark, science-fiction/fantasy series that I began writing on the vague idea of 'what if the story of Adam and Eve was drastically reimagined and they were actually aliens sent from Mars to repopulate the Earth?' The story has much evolved and I have already written a large part of book 1, tentatively named New Beginning. However, I will be cutting much from what I have already written because when I started it I was in high school and the story is rather messy.
Anyhow, the story begins in the Domes, scientifically-enhanced living environments for modified Martians. Gwen and Malik grew up in these Domes and look human, but tougher blood runs through their veins. They have been trained from birth, and even before birth, to survive on the Earth. Once they reach a certain age, their mission is to travel to Earth and repopulate it. Sounds strange, doesn't it? They think so too when they realise assassins have followed them from Mars. But who is trying to kill them? The agency that has been their home, HADES, or an even more sinister organisation named Nightbrand? And most importantly, why do they want them dead? The answers lie in Gwen and Malik's memories, and their secretive, dark past.

THOSE WARM EYES
Part of my planned revamp on classic fairytales/Disney stories
This story follows a noble's daughter, Lene du Avignon, and her cousin Baron Cedric du Rose as they strive to overcome their inner Beast and Beauty. They are magically transported into their grandmother's magical book world titled 'Beauty and the Beast' and become the main characters of the story, yet Lene transforms into a beast and Cedric becomes a girl... not exactly the adventure he had had in mind when he came to marry his cousin at her French chateau. The simple fact is, the cousins hate each other but in order to free themselves from the book, they must learn to love each other.... like that's ever going to happen! Or is it?.... I'll let you find out.

DISGUISES OF A PRINCESS
Part of my planned revamp on classic fairytales/Disney stories
Princess Erica is a master of disguises. She has to be if she wants to navigate the stressful, unjust royal court of her mother, who has married an earl and thereby brought two snobbish, horrible stepbrothers into the mix. They make her do their chores like cleaning the stables or taking their place during fencing practice because they're too lazy. Not a conventional upbringing for a princess if you ask me, but Erica doesn't seem to mind her role until one evening, at a ball, she catches the eye of a handsome knight, Alex. And then again when her brothers drag her to an inn to play the role of their maid. She can't shake Alex off, but the more time she spends with him, the more she wishes she could throw off her disguises and simply be herself. Will she be able to peel off her masks and get her happily ever after?

TwO SIDES OF THE MIRROR
Part of my planned revamp on classic fairytales/Disney stories
Elvira is the Evil Queen. Or so everybody thinks... And Raven is her beautiful step-daughter who is as gentle, kind, loving and generous as any real princess should be. But there's more to the story of 'Snow White and her evil step-mother'. Much, much more. What happens when you throw in an ambitious, conniving prince (Fabian) into the mix who knows how to manipulate young, naïve princesses? Or a loving relationship between step-daughter and step-mother that no one must know about, especially Prince Fabian? Or cursed dwarves willing to do everything for their princess? And last but not least, a magical mirror that reflects on both sides and reveals your darkest self? I'll tell you what happens! A deep, twisted story that was easier when true love, an evil villain and nothing else were involved.

CITY OF NAUTILUS
Part of my planned revamp on classic fairytales/Disney stories
Mira, the daughter of an Australian prime minister, is mostly left to her own devices, as long as she stays out of the public eye, which suits her just right. She spends her time studying oceanology and collecting interesting things at the beach with her Bernese mountain dog. Her life is quiet and normal until one day she stumbles upon a veeery interesting sample, or an unconscious man to be exact. A man that doesn't seem to have legs, and looks like a fairytale merman, but that can't be, can it? After saving him, she asks him if he could take her to his underwater world. Caspian, the merman, hesitantly agrees and starts a domino effect that sends Mira and him into an underwater adventure to save his city, Nautilus, from the clutches of an ancient witch.
