That’s who he’ll always be at heart. When King Jonathan sent him to the north to watch over the small town of Wulfe, Audor gladly obeyed.

Odin has forbidden vampire/Were pairings. This is a dream doomed to fail… or is it? Unsanctioned is the second book in Charity Parkerson’s Devilish series where vampires, Weres, demons, gods, and all manner of the supernatural live together beneath the noses of humankind.

Or just two lonely men making the best of terrifying times? And how in the world do Casey and Tristan tell the difference? Until the World Stops is a 72,000-word standalone gay romance. CW: COVID-19 A note from the author: As the events of 2020 have unfolded, in particular the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve debated when and how to incorporate that reality into my work. It’s not something I want to make light of or capitalize on, but it has become a part of our lives, and one that doesn’t look to be going anywhere any time soon. There comes a point when—if I’m to write about life—I need to write about the ugly parts too. For that matter, writing is how I process the world around me, and as time has gone on, I’ve found myself needing the catharsis of looking this reality in the eye and putting it into words as best I can. Most importantly, however, this is a time when we all need hope and even moments of peace. While pure escapism is important to me, so too is finding that hope and peace when everything feels so bleak. So it’s with that in mind that I give you a couple of guys finding a little bit of light when all the world feels dark.
