For centuries, people have speculated on the future in surprising, provocative stories. · Kerry Nietz

Hideous Beauty
“Hideous Beauty strives to (very) graphically illustrate the war of dark versus light waged unseen by mere mortals.”
—Lorehaven review, December 2018

Kristian’s War
“The writing is terse and focused on characters’ actions, making for a quick and enjoyable read.”
