Book Description
Ethan Cohle is a sarcastic, underemployed transgender man working at a Canadian Duty Free Shop with hopes to one day pay for his last surgery.
Even though his life falls flat in just about every area, when an adventure is presented by a man carrying supernatural creatures in a jar, Ethan only says yes because it’s a bigger and easier pay check.

Summary
John only went into the cafe to have a brew and wait out the storm. He didn’t expect to find love at the same time.
And it really is love at first sight. Chris is like nobody John’s ever known, and John is caught from the start. All he wants, from that very first touch, is to never let go. But John is badly burned from his last relationship and in no fit state to try again. When Chris asks him out, he ought to say no.
But what if he says yes instead?

I write romance. Romance comes with happy endings. But what does a happy ending look like? One man’s heaven is another man’s hell and all that jazz—so what constitutes a happy ending?
To me, a happy ending depends on the character being happy at the end. Therefore, happy endings can come in different forms. One book may end in a baby because that’s all the couple ever wanted, another may end in that glorious negative pregnancy test. Both are happy endings if that’s what the characters want, right?
Well—sort of.

On writing sci-fi
This is my second sci-fi book, and I must say, the more I write in the genre, the more I enjoy it. At first, I was worried about trying sci-fi because I’d never written it before, but after getting some advice from other sci-fi author’s, I relaxed and just tried to keep things as believable as possible.
My first sci-fi book, The Wolves of Daos 5, was mixed with the paranormal. Teresias Bound is more sci-fi/fantasy and involves a trans character. I asked myself, what would a trans character be like in the extreme future? Rather than going the scientific advancement route, I went with increased knowledge of spirituality and aliens so that Aiden, the main character, is able to have his life records changed and become the man he always knew he was inside.
