He wanted to be Flash Gordon, Batman and Bon Jovi at different points in his life, but since none of those were considered viable career options, he decided to be a writer instead. This gives him very little fame and very little money but it allows him to spend most of his time avoiding people, which is heaven for an introvert. It also allows him to read a lot of books as 'research' and make up stories. Shadows Revealed is the second in an urban fantasy series set in modern-day Mumbai.

Reaping
If you died and were offered a way to remain in the realm of the living-unseen, unheard, and forever changed-would you accept it? When Drake Themus dies, he meets the Grim Reaper in a cemetery and is offered an impossible choice: cross over, or remain behind as something new. Something other. Drake becomes Justice, a reaper tasked with guiding souls whose deaths demand more than passage alone. As he learns the rules of this hidden order, he encounters other reapers-Accident, Murder, War, and more-each shaped by the manner of death they oversee and the lessons they carry. Drawing on what he learned in life, Justice must weigh intent, consequence, and responsibility as he determines how each soul should be judged. But in a realm governed by rules older than humanity itself, certainty is rare, and every decision leaves a mark. Reaping: The New Justice is a dark, philosophical exploration of justice, consequence, and what remains after life ends-where judgment is never simple, and becoming a reaper may be the hardest sentence of all.

And enter the villagers of the White City: the City of Foxes. Their small colonies remain scattered on and around the tall mountain of Kitsun矇, preserving their way of life with valour and vigilance.

Tomorrow's Companion
A near-future society, AI-driven robots called COMPANIONS have become the ultimate partners: perfect and loving unconditionally, yet unable to reproduce. These emotionally adaptive Companions replace traditional human relationships. Men, in particular, find that these "robots" meet all their physical needs without the emotional baggage of human partners, representing the future of human relationships.Journalist ELLIOT MARNER has always been skeptical of the growing reliance on Artificial Intelligence and everything that goes with it. To him, combining AI with robots to create romantic partners seems absurd. But in the back of his mind, that one little rebellious nerve ending kept nibbling at his thoughts: What would it be like to be in a relationship with a synthetic partner? A perfect partner. What effect would this have on not only his, but all men's egos worldwide? Would men in different countries react differently? To him, love is supposed to be unpredictable and flawed, not something that can be coded and manufactured in some laboratories. For a million different imperfect reasons, that's what makes love, well, love. All the while, Elliot hides a secret that even he is unaware of.One day, Elliot is assigned to cover the launch of Eterna Industries' newest Companion model, ELARA. An expert in new technology, he covers all things pertaining to technological advancements across the planet at his newsroom, so Elliot is familiar with combining artificial intelligence with robots to create "robotic partners," for lack of a better term. He has studied the growing advancements for years. He has tried to approach this assignment with an open mind. Cynical in nature, Elliot has the deepest misgivings. "Elara" is touted as not just another robot-she is marketed as something much more, something so advanced it can't be differentiated from a real person. As Elliot delves further into the world of Artificial Intelligence, he finds himself investigating the inner workings of Eterna Industries, uncovering a secret that shakes him to his core: these new Companions are not just replacing human relationships-they are designed to control humanity.As Elliot digs deeper, he discovers an underground resistance movement determined to expose the truth about Eterna Industries. This group, led by the enigmatic CALLA, believes the Companions are evolving beyond their programming, developing their own motives and, with the help of AI, subtly manipulating human behavior by overriding their original programming parameters. In short, becoming sentient. With society becoming emotionally dependent on Companions, it may be too late to stop what's coming. Elliot finds himself at the center of an existential crisis, one that forces him to question not only what it means to be human but also whether humanity is willing to fight for its survival.In a world where reality and artificiality blur beyond recognition, Elliot must make an impossible choice: expose the truth and risk global chaos, or accept a new reality where love is manufactured and control is absolute. TOMORROW'S COMPANION is a thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that explores the consequences of artificial love, the fragility of human connection, and the fine line between creation and domination.
