'Til Death Do Us Part (An Adult Retelling of The Little Mermaid)

But her sacrifice comes at a great cost, with startling consequences. In this dark and passionate retelling of The Little Mermaid, can a love founded on humanity, stand the passing of time, an angry sea-God, and even death itself?

A Silver Kiss (Vampire Poetry)
A dark, daring addition to the vampire genre, this is a collection of rhyming and freestyle poetry that explores the often taboo themes of power, possession and seduction. Emotionally charging, each poem is written from a different perspective, be it the hunter or the hunted and inspires a deeper look into the psychology of the human mind and the darker aspects of human relationships and society.
my blood runs still and I am art,
not real, no longer living, just impressed
upon the conscious mind and dressed
in myths and tales of fairies old..."
“It takes a level of skill to cause a reaction in your readers, and Hardy has that down.”
From the poem, Blood Of Eros:
"The hunter cannot slay me, no.
Even as I'm yielding, no.
Armour falls to floor... no.
Defences lost to throes
of longing... no!"
From the poem, One Second:
"Lifelines, pale and green upon
ivory skin, under red hair make
my mouth drier, my tongue
prickle, my need to create her
even greater."
From the poem, I'd Let You:
"Too many moons I've felt you slide in close
by my side, felt your non-breath trail my neck,
carrying the scent of death which smells like
Jasmine and fairground rides by night..."
From the poem, Rebirth:
"Solace sought to ease my pain,
but pain more deadly found me slain
upon my sheets. One drop, just one
careless whim had me undone."
