If you’re familiar with my writing, you might associate me with horror, but I do have work in the romance genre, too!
For Valentine’s Day, I’ve decided to give a general overview of my romance work, including a game we haven’t discussed before.
First, there’s the lone romance among my published stories. “A Special Present,” found in the Love Under the Mistletoe anthology, is a sweet romance about two of Santa’s elves who fall in love. However, I will point out that it’s one of my earliest published stories, so the writing may not be as polished as usual.
It might be my sole romance story for now, but I’ve been writing more romance lately, so that may change. (*anxiously watches the #KissPitch progress*)
Let’s move on to visual novels.
Ascendant Hearts came out last month, and it’s seen positive reviews so far. It’s a romantic comedy set in a fantasy world that parodies JRPG tropes, and there are three romance choices (as well as a non-romance ending).
Ascendant Hearts isn’t quite as “safe” as my elf story, although it’s still pretty tame unless you get the NSFW patch from the website. Even then, there are no H-scenes and the story remains the same.
Moving on, I wrote the script for a second galge/bishojo visual novel just released last week! My Strange Girlfriend lets you romance three girls afflicted by a strange curse that gives them animal characteristics. It’s a cute story, with some humorous moments as well as serious scenes.
I’m currently working on another visual novel with a similar style.
So there you have it: my current romance offerings for Valentine’s Day. Horror and romance by the same writer? It’s more likely than you think.

How about horror and romance in the same story?
(Noting the #BDSM in your #KissPitch)
Always possible to combine the two! I actually did have some horror/romance flash fiction published once, but it seems like the site’s been taken down.
(I hope that’s a separate observation and not implying my #BDSM tag was for horror elements. xD)
…rip artistic archival.
(It was separate in intention, but then I got thinking…)
(Nope, no horror in these. Healthy depictions only. I’ve done research! Not that my protagonist would necessarily object to a horror situation… but only if it was a fantasy being safely roleplayed. 😉 )
(*giggle* Research~)
(Internet research. Discussions with people research.)
(Your emphatic italics make me giggle with glee even more. Though now I’m not sure where to go from here…)
(*sigh* At least I have caused amusement. XDD)
