THE GOURDIAN

Universally enthusiastic chaos-artist & storyteller

The theatre saga continues with

A dance with death

When a woman gets stabbed in the middle of the stage no one really bats an eye.
That is, until the piano player starts shouting the actress’ name and the ballet dancer who was supposed to inhabit the snake costume is found strangled in his dressing room.

Alice Castella tries to tackle her first mystery case.

Trigger warning for those who need them

A dance with death features a graphically described death as well as themes of grief and loss.

I’ll be including chapter specific trigger warning for you to decide whether a chapter is okay for you to read.

I’ll also be backtracking through previous stories to add trigger warnings retroactively. But this will take some time.

Please stay save

Unebre

The worldbuilding exersize that gained a life of its own.
Featuring living dolls, talking trees and mad science all wrapped up inside a late 19th to early 20th century aesthetic.


The Royal Griffin

The forever project that I’ve been working on for 10+ years now.
What started off as a fun steampunk series has been rewritten, burned, rebuild and grown horribly out of proportions.


Other projects

A catch-all for the other projects that either don’t posess the sheer volume to warrant its own category or are meant to run for a shorter period of time.
Still contains some great stuff.

I also made a little support me page, in case you’re interested in helping me write these stories
