Ready to write some horror? February's right around the corner, and you know what that means! Join us this coming February to participate in Scareuary 2025!

The Fall of the Black Masks is the first installment in my high fantasy series, The Qarran Tales . It's a story packed with action, intrigue, betrayal, friendship, secrets, family, and more. The story follows three main characters - Qays, Mila, and Ragnar - as they try to survive in an empire being terrorized by a criminal organization called the Black Masks, a deadly epidemic, and their own pasts. Ragnar has been on the run for almost two decades. When he finds himself on Death’s door, it is Qays and Mila who save him and treat his wounds. But Ragnar knows that those hunting him will stop at nothing to bring his severed head back to Vakkar and claim their prize, and the longer he stays with his gracious hosts, the more danger he fears they will be in. Qays , one of the most accomplished physicians in the empire, discovers an epidemic when his patients begin to show symptoms of an unfamiliar and deadly disease. Soon, he finds himself in a race against time to find a way of...
