I write in two separate fictional worlds: Arcanum, and Barrow City. Right now, we’re in Season One of The Nexus, set in Arcanum: a series of nine linked novellas.

The Nexus Season One: Unseen World
The Nexus is a series of linked novellas, rather like the structure of a TV show. Each book is a self-contained story, but also contributes to an overall season arc. Season One of The Nexus is active right now, with episodes coming out every other month through September 2025.

Episode One: Arcanum City Secrets
When writer Kaden Kelly first started his blog, Arcanum City Secrets, he hoped to get the citizens of Arcanum talking together about the myriad strange happenings in their city. Soon after the launch of his first post, however, he finds more answers than he ever had questions for. Can Kaden reconcile this strange, new world of monsters and magick with the life he’s always known?
Episode Two: The Night Mare
A series of deaths that shouldn’t have been possible has drawn the attention of the Nexus Guardians. Their investigation leads them to the Nova Hotel, where they meet the latest would-be victim, a window washer with some surprising talents named Zephyr. With Zephyr’s somewhat reluctant help, the team tracks the source of the deaths through the unlikely combination of investigative journalism and ancient mythology. Will the team identify and defeat the creature responsible in time to prevent more untimely deaths?

Episode Three: Rogue
After a large “dog” attacks a girl near Sylvan Park, Gina’s worst fears are confirmed: there’s a rogue werewolf in Arcanum. Out of touch with his human mind while in this unintentional, off-moon shift, the wolf is unable to control his own actions. The Nexus Guardians need to catch the wolf before he can harm even more people. Gina believes she can talk the wolf back out of the rogue shift—but can she do it before the Arcanum werewolf pack catches the wolf and puts him down on general principle?
Episode Four: Elemental Fury
Decades ago, Arjun joined The Order of the Turning Wheel, a group of Arcanum’s most powerful mages. The group’s leader, Victor Thorne, had a plan for the Order, one that would lead to untold wealth and power for them all. But when Arjun had a change of conscience, leaving The Order turned out not so easy to do.
Now, twenty years later, Arcanum is ravaged by brutal storms, bringing chaos and destruction to the city. Along with the intense rain and wind, Arjun is awash in memories of his past, and the pain of loss and guilt they bring. Will he find the secret to ending the devastating storms buried in the secrets of his past?

Episode Five: The Relic Hunter
An unexpected sinkhole on a major road in Arcanum unearths a mysterious artifact—a fragment of a cave wall, covered in markings no one can decipher. Mari Espinosa finds herself torn between two opposing worlds: her archaeology team at Arcanum University, charged with studying the wall, and her boyfriend’s team of supernatural investigators—the Nexus Guardians—who are duty bound to figure out whether the wall poses a magickal threat.
While everyone in town is talking about the mysterious archeological find, Victor Thorne has summoned Roger Rowe, the so-called Relic Hunter, to town. Hoping to make his visit more profitable, the Relic Hunter is making the rounds, visiting Arcanum’s mages in an attempt to buy, sell, and trade magickal artifacts.
Does he know about Arcanum’s latest discovery? And, if so, does he have plans of his own?

Olive Tree Academy
Book One: Apprentice
Sofia agreed to enroll in the Psychic Arts program at Olive Tree Academy with one goal: to learn how not to use her abilities. But ever since she arrived, almost a month late and feeling completely out of her depth, strange things have been happening. The only person who might be able to help her is the person she’s the least willing to put in danger.
Cabot was an excellent student… last year. Now that his second year at OTA has begun, he feels less psychic than when he first enrolled over a year ago. Now he’s been chosen to mentor the new girl, who’s abilities far outstrip his own. Trouble seems to follow Sofia wherever she goes, but Cabot thinks getting close to her is well worth the risk.
Welcome to Olive Tree Academy for Supernatural Studies! Join Sofia and Cabot in this first installment of a new series in the Barrow City world of Sara Blake!
Next Up:
The Nexus Season One will continue through 2025 with a new episode released every other month.
Also, watch out for the second book in the OTA series, Between the Worlds, in 2025 as well as the start of a new, related series set in Barrow City: Widdershins in 2026!
