The Mundane Life of a Vampire
Posted on October 6th, 2026
What if a regular guy accidentally got turned into a vampire?
Meet Gabriel Sorenson, 30something tech podcaster, city gay, and newly-made vampire. Becoming a surprise vampire came with a lot of complications, but most of them are strangely…mundane.
Tom Collins, yes like the drink, is 150 years old and was not ready to have progeny, let alone move his three-night-stand into his precious restored Victorian. Too bad he let hunger get the better of him, and found himself with a new responsibility and a new boyfriend.
Simon Tomasi is a barista, a goth, and an avowed biting fetishist. Somehow, this turns into the best threesome of his life, and maybe more?
Read Gabriel’s adventures in being an everyday vampire in this charming, cozy, slice-of-life urban fantasy novel.

Excuses for Friendship
Posted on June 23rd, 2026
Ever wondered how Alex managed to befriend Father Stephen? Here’s how!
Alex Benedict is a consulting mage, coming in on murder cases when there’s evil magic afoot.
Father Stephen is a priest at the Temples, performing various services to the community including weddings, purifications, and other errands.
The two of them meet on an unusual case, and find excuses to see each other again and again, until their friendship is fully cemented.
This short in the Consulting Magic universe goes back to before we met Julian, but after Alex was established in his consulting career, to the very day he first met our redoubtable Father Stephen.
