Ducky is a self-published author writing under the pen name D.H. Dhaenens. She has five books to her name and has just finished her master's degree in creative writing at Queen Mary University of London.

Claire does a bit of everything. From over 15 years in videogames, seven plays and several self published comics to web comics. When she isn't in VR, skating or running TTRPGS, she is up to mischief.

Vade Mecum series By D.H. DHAENENS

Magic recently returned to the modern world. For now only few people have an inkling of how it works. One of them is the world's leading magical researcher Atze Furcifer, but he'd prefer you leave him a voicemail so he can continue ignoring you...

Join the grumpy mage on his quest to get a hot cup of tea and avoid another nasty adventure.

Asa's Blessing

Magic empowers, protects and improves lives. Some knowledge is so dark and troubling, it should remain buried six feet under.

Kaoru's Chaos

It’s not like it’s the end of the world, maybe just the magic. Will it be a little green man from another world or government oversight?
