I wanted to create a more realistic mafia story. I mean come on, why would a powerful mafia boss let a young outsider disrespect him? It just isn't realistic, and I got tired of reading the same plots over and over. I just wanted to do something different.
Trying to keep the realism without going overboard. Especially where the proper use of guns were concerned. The mafia is full of a lot of violence, so it was a bit of a challenge to balance the romance and action, but I think I did a good job in the end.
Amazing! I had over 10k comments in just 10 weeks! Unfortunately, that success came with some drawbacks as some jealous person spam reported my story and wattpad unfairly took it down. When I contacted them about it they apologised, blaming it on some automatic system they had and they could not restore it. So I had to reupload the story. I edited some parts and added some additional content and many of the re-readers love this new version even more, so I suppose it was all a blessing in disguise.
The dynamics between the two main characters. Jade is a sadist and Dominic is a pyromaniac. They are both damaged, physically and emotionally, but balance each other perfectly. I had never written such over the top characters before, but I loved every minute of it.
Blood Power and Desire is the first in a four part series.
That even broken people can find their place in this world and no matter a person's past, they can overcome anything.
To write the story that they want to read and write about. That way, no matter what obstacles they face, they will still enjoy what they are doing.

Her fierce loyalty to those around her.

I think my unique take on a mafia romance, as one just needs to read the extended blurb to see that Jade and Dominic's story is a unique and addictive one.
Yes, I am currently working on a fantasy romance involving Lycans. It's called Mine At First Sight.

System Overclock
Luna Portalla has many skills, but getting herself out of bad situations isn't one of them. She's a wanted criminal, a decent liar, a questionable planner, a technological whiz, but most importantly, a big sister. Sarah is her everything, her umbrella in a ruthless storm. But Sarah isn't afraid to speak her mind, oh no no no; people are people, words are words, and she misses Luna. Everything here sucks. Why does she have to do so much work, and why do all the bad men look like robot zombies? What is that smell? Why is there a tiger locked in a cage, and why are the beds so flippin' hard? There's only one answer: she's been kidnapped, and the only way out is back the way she came. System Overclock is a cyberpunk story told from two perspectives – the kidnapped girl and the sister who will stop at nothing to find her. COVER ART BY HWPERFIDY
8 121I will not be eaten
Litchi is your ordinary Royal Road addict. She can’t resist the call of a new chapter even when she needs to work. Because of too many new responsibilities she promises one week without reading. Sadly, she cracks in three days, because of an Azarinth Healer notification. Taking out her phone she starts avidly reading. It’s just a small promise, she will try it another time. Nothing should happen. Say that to the goblin that tries to eat your face, Litchi! You should keep your promise! She was used to food jokes on her name but it seems that this time her destiny is to be eaten. ---- Hello future reader! I didn’t find a new good isekai so why not create my own? I am an RR addict and amateur writer (in French) and today I decided to publish a story. You will have my eternal gratitude for any advice or constructive comments on the story! One of my objectives is to have developed characters, duo or trio make a fantastic way to character growth. So, I will try to create a deep relationship between a few of them. The first few chapters have a lot of combat, but other characters will soon arrive. Those first few chapters are made to build tension and create Litchi's first motivations. This story has the plot written to the end and important characters already shaped. This story is short in comparison to the majority of RR fantasy stories. Update every two days until I have no more chapters in my pocket. Average chapter length: 2200 words Warning: The grammar can be bad, IMPORTANT CHARACTERS CAN (Will) DIE, contain philosophical conversation as the characters stumble upon morals dilemmas. I hope I will see you soon in the comments and thank you in advance for reading Litchi’s journey. Have a nice day! :)

This is mainly a place to store my thoughts for a DnD world I'm building, and after a while I might start posting our adventure here. don't expect much and there isn't a set schedule either, just whenever I feel like writing down my ideas.
8 148Pokemon: Ultimate Generations!
Gan was playing his new pokemon Sword Version until an earthquake suddenly shook the area he lived in. Once it stopped, he went to check on his parents, who were alright. Afterward, he went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night to get some water when he saw a strange light coming from his basement. Gan was naturally curious, so he went to check it out. Disclaimer: Based on the Anime and Games, with a twist.
