Since Blackspire continues to evolve (with the addition of a serialized novel), I figured it would be simplest to put everything in context. Below, you’ll find all my work listed individually, with a brief description. Just click the underlined text to go to the page.
You can also explore everything individually from the home page, the Start Here page, or the Archive. To make using this page easier, click on the bars on the left side of the page to open the actual table of contents.
As always, thanks for reading. I’m grateful that you’re here.
Thalrassa - The Empire of the Waves Cycle
A Dread Tide Rising: Serialized chapters from book 1 of the cycle. ADTR is a pulp-flavored epic fantasy that follows an ensemble cast of characters rather than a single main protagonist.
Flotsam & Jetsam: Character backstories on the Talon members (the ensemble characters who drive ADTR). The stories are not connected, so feel free to jump in anywhere.
An Introduction: Get to know a little about the members of the Talon before reading their backstories.
A Fate Unexpected | Kye’s Backstory (note: this leads directly into the events in Chapter 1 of A Dread Tide Rising)
Of Driftwood & Dreams: Thalrassa Lore and Stories
Landing Day: The song of Landing Day and the origins of Rakka.
The Longing Blade: Shadows and darker things lurk beneath the Sun Mount. *Fantasy with horror overtones.
Knucklebones & Standing Stones (Historical Fiction)
The Hungry Gods: A short story set in the late Bronze Age. Danu must face adulthood and her tribe’s gods.
At the Edge of the World: A short story set against the backdrop of Caesar’s first invasion of Britannia. The Legionnaire Lucanis must do more than face down Celtic warriors as the legions land in Britannia. ** 2025 Featured Short Story by TiF.
The Ashes of Rome: A historical fiction serial focused on the events leading up to the Senones’ sacking of Rome in 390 BCE. This will be a trilogy of trilogies.
Other Stuff
Miscellaneous Debris: A catchall category for anything that doesn’t relate to Thalrassa.
The Roots That Clutch: A dark fairytale.
Fitting Enough for the Thunder God: A short story written for Leanne Shawler’s story prompt and tying in with her Môrdreigiau Chronicles.
The Ghosts of Past Glories: In a world ruined by magic, acceptance is hard to find for mages.
Working to Armageddon: A weird little short story about preparing for the end of the world.
Morning Flash: A disassociative journaling exercise in flash fiction. Updates when I feel like it.
