Here are some of the ideas I've been harboring in my brain case for years now. Unless otherwise mentioned, these projects are still in infancy, and have not been completely developed. There exist within them contrivances and cliches, and they have not been explored much further than the initial idea. Honestly, until I have the audacity to work on some of these, consider this a scrapbook of possible ideas. As with all of my projects, if anything sticks out at you, feel free to bring it to my attention.
Some of these projects have concept art, but not all. The empty image boxes are mostly for decoration, and separation.

The Secret KeeperOriginally a spin-off short story idea from the Blood Requiem series, this idea is being absorbed into the core project.
In it's original planning, it was to follow the actions of a CIA agent whose mission it was to extract a KGB defector's family out of Russia, along with information about pending plans for overtaking the US by way of economic conquest following disillusion with governance due to incidents following biological attacks in several major cities. |
Bridge to NowhereA story about four friends who, after finally being chosen to play an experimental VR game, become trapped in the game, and have to win or die.
This story, due to the prevalence of others like it, is likely to be scrapped and/or altered significantly. I still like the idea and the title, though, so it's been back burnered indefinitely. |
Chasing EmbersThis story is currently in development. I'm still undecided on the format, but I'm interested in trying my hand at building it as an RPG.
It's the story of a young woman who is on a quest to defeat the seven governing dragons of the world. The dragons operate through humans known as Embers. These Embers do the will of the dragons, often settling disputes and building influence. When their requests/demands are refused, there usually follows a cataclysm. The protagonist is a survivor of such a cataclysm. Instead of revenge, however, she is questing because the dragons are preparing to war with one another, and that war will actually destroy the planet. |
Fields of BeautyA sci-fi/fantasy hybrid, this story follows the daily life of a family living on a distant planet, as early colonists from earth. One day, their communication with earth is completely cut off, and they must survive against the environment that has come alive (for some reason, maybe?).
My ideas on this story still need to be fleshed out. The project is still in its infancy, as I've been focusing on others. |
Star SweepYears after the successful colonization of several planets and star systems, war has inevitably reared its ugly head again. This time, in the form of mechanized infantry units.

Quest of SytharaxA medieval fantasy story that follows a trio of orphans as they quest to find the mystical orbs of Sytharax, a formerly powerful wizard. It is said that the orbs will grant wishes, but the trio must decide how much such wishes are actually worth.
