Welcome to the Bitter South: The Lone Star Codex

Grit has seen a lot of strange things.

Cannibals in the desert. Creatures that shouldn’t exist. Ghosts that won’t stay dead.

But nothing like the Hotel El Rancho.

When a freak accident strands him outside Gallup, New Mexico, Grit checks into the most haunted hotel in America—and quickly realizes he’s been expected. The ghosts know his name. They know his reputation.

And they want a show.

What follows is a night of whiskey, ghosts, and gunfire as Grit is forced into a deadly game against legends who refuse to fade away. If he can fight his way back to his room, he lives.

If not… he becomes one of them.

A gritty, supernatural western packed with dark humor, cinematic action, and a hero who refuses to go quietly.

The False Sea Cycle

A kingdom festers under famine and fear. A dragon circles the skies, hungering for ash and ruin. And deep beneath the abbey of Riaan, something long buried claws its way toward the light.

When the dragon descends, steel and sorcery will decide the night. Thrones may topple. Cities will burn. And the world will remember the dedicated—and the damned.

In the heart of the capital, a ragged alliance gathers:

  • A scarred soldier who has survived too many wars to

  • A farm-born healer whose strange gift borders on

  • A princess bound to a tyrant father and a crown slick

  • An abbey novice torn between faith and fear

  • And a rogue with a charming smile and his own motives

When the dragon descends, steel and sorcery will decide the night. Thrones may topple. Cities will burn. And the world will remember the dedicated—and the damned.
