One of the first novels I ever finished, which shows in how rough around the edges it is. Still, it will always be one of those things that I love and come back to from time to time. Vaj will always be this crazy, irrepressible character that lives in the center of my heart. Kind of a jerk, egotistical, yet at the same time incredibly compassionate. My first-person, sword and sorcery story.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Visions of Blood &amp; Shadow<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;full-length novel.\u00a0 Vampires, lycanthropes, and Others. This was like a patchwork quilt&#8211;dozens of separate pieces all joined together, resulting in a single story. It&#8217;s about destiny and fate and sacrifice, with a jolt of love and death thrown in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Estarion: Book One<\/strong>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Shame<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;short story. The introduction of Simon Peters. I wrote this in a style somewhat strange to me, leaving descriptions unexplored so that the reader is forced to fill them in rather than indulging in my normal over-descriptiveness. This story left kind of a sour taste on my tongue, but it was one of those things that forced me to write it. I just kind of picture a tumor being ripped out of my brain, the ends trailing behind, freeing me from something I simply could not let go on my own.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Blood Wine<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;full-length novel. The continuation of Valerie Pendleton Hardain&#8217;s story. It&#8217;s a chunk of time in the world shown through the eyes of Valerie. I was madly in love with him at the time of writing and I still hold a fondness for him, flaws and all. And he certainly has some flaws, ego being a big part of it all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Little Boy Blue<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;full-length novel. I really wanted to write my own band story. Unfortunately, somehow my lead singer turned into a demon along with his best friend, a war developed in the Pit, and everything somehow morphed into a quest.<br \/>\nTo me, Ashley is an almost disturbingly innocent character. He was kept sheltered in Erusidamus&#8217; &#8220;harem,&#8221; but now he&#8217;s free to explore the world around him. As a consequence, he is forced to find his independence and develop his personal strength. Which he fights every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Origins: Starburst<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;short piece. Was supposed to be the prologue of Heroes &amp; Villains until I realized that it didn&#8217;t belong with the story. At the same time, I figured that maybe people might be interested in how Vereint first manifested his metabilities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Heroes &amp; Villains<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;full-length novel. My current baby. I love superheroes and I like expanding on the largely two-dimensional idea of comic book heroes and villains. Vereint and Warrick were made for each other, though the world unknowingly tries to get in the way. This is the sweetest installment of the &#8220;Heroes &amp; Villains&#8221; series, the taste of happiness before the story really begins.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Pulse of the City<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;novella. An amnesiac girl that finds out she used to be someone completely different than she ever imagined. Teen friendly (as in, Foul-Mouth didn&#8217;t get to make an appearance here.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Heroes &amp; Villains: The Wedding<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;novella. Set during &#8220;Heroes &amp; Villains,&#8221; it became a separate piece as it did not fit with the rest of the novel. A touch of smut, a fairy tale wedding, and a bunch of jerky superhero chatter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Boy Loves Bears<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;short story. PWP? all the way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Sweet Desire<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;short story. Two chefs that circle around each other and the attraction they feel. Andre does all the flirting, and Calvin does all the putting off as he tries to hide the biggest secret of his life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Echo<\/strong>&#8220;&#8211;novella. Two men that meet and form an instant connection. Written in a minimalist style that has kind of become the Sol Crafter hallmark. Simple, sweet, and HEA all the way.<\/p>\n<p>I have an unpublished full-length novel, &#8220;<strong>Lianndra<\/strong>,&#8221; that will probably never see the light of day. Why? Because it&#8217;s so long! It&#8217;s the first thing I wrote and finished and is set in the same world as the &#8220;Of Blood&#8221; series and centers around the vampire Lianndra. And while it contains some interesting things, I simply do not have the strength of will to wade through it and edit it.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe, someday in the future when I&#8217;m super rich :)~ I&#8217;ll have my personal assistant handle all that stuff. When exactly am I allowed to get myself an intern again?
