Author has written 4 stories for Dragon Age.

A self confessed Dragon Age fanatic with a particular penchant for characters like Zevran and Isabela. Hailing from Cornwall, a tiny windswept peninsular that fishtails at the end of England. I have a wide range of influences and obsessions from T.S Eliot to Terry Pratchett, Dostoevsky to Deadwood.

Fantasy that I highly recommend

The Song of Ice and Fire series (better known as Game of Thrones) by G.R.R Martin.

The First Law Trilogy (and indeed everything he's ever written) by Joe Abercrombie

The Prince of Thorns trilogy by Mark Lawerence.

The Gentleman's Bastard Series (ESPECIALLY Lies of Locke Lamora) by Scott Lynch

The Discworld Series by Terry Prachett.

My Writing.

Name One Hero Who Was Happy: Is my current FF baby. A story in which hermit-like, self-exiled, Neria Surana finds herself trudging towards Haven ten years after the Blight. On her own secretive quest but will she find something more there than she expects?

Severed: My first ever fanfiction in which Elaria Surana travels to Antiva to track down her miscreant lover and finds a whole world of chaos. Updates will resume regularity in due course.

A Bitter Requiem: Intended to be a one-shot exploring Zevran's reaction to his lovers sacrifice which somehow grew too big to fit into it's one-shot cage. Will eventually be three chapters long but and (I'm being rather too honest here) I wouldn't hold your breath on seeing them any time soon!

Twin Fangs: In which the Tabris Twins attempt to end the blight with their wit and some excellently applied make-up... I always told myself I'd never do a retelling of the blight and then Leofric and Lowyn popped fully formed into my mind whilst I was trying to write Severed. Their tale will be really different to the original, taking only plot points from the canon and twisting them to suit the main characters particular set of skills. Updates will probably be regular in the first couple of weeks.

69 Love Stories by Spada2014 reviews
One-shots and short stories about love in all its forms (sacred/profane, spiritual/carnal, inspirations/obsessions, etc.) taking place in the DA:I universe. The first story opens with Varric, who has received a coded letter. It's from Bianca. And he's still mad at her after Valammar. Chapter 46 starts a story arc about that road trip Varric alludes to in game...

Sequel to "An Assassin's Childhood." My story about Zevran's youth in Antiva before he goes to Ferelden to meet the Grey Warden. Based on Zevran's dialogues in Dragon Age: Origin. (English translation of "Antiva Episoden") Warning: sex and violence. What do you expect - it's about Zevran. ;)

A Matter of Consequence by Spada2014 reviews
Working at the Skyhold dispensary is unnerving Ava, a mage and healer working with the alchemist Adan. Her patients report seeing a man wielding blades, wearing a wide brimmed hat, only to deny it all afterwards. There are too many sightings for her to dismiss, and given everything going on with rifts, demons, and abominations, she reasons one cannot be too careful...

A Little Dab by deagh reviews
Character exploration piece to help me figure out how Cullen Rutherford got from where he was at the end of DA2 to where he is at the beginning of DAI. Also, what happened to his hair? (Yes, that's where the title comes from) Takes place between DA2 and DAI Rated M to be safe because it takes place in a brothel and contains a bit of language and non-explicit sex and nudity.

This is my story about Zevran's childhood and youth in Antiva. It is based on Zevran's dialogues in the game Dragon Age: Origins. Zevran Arainai and Taliesen belong to Bioware. All other characters in this story are my own creation. Rated T just to be on the safe side. (translated from German. I will also publish the original version "Eine mörderische Kindheit" on FF)

Twin Fangs reviews
Leofric and Lowyn, known to their associates as the Tabris Twins, are better suited to scamming the rich from their wallets than parting monsters from their lives. A very AU blight retelling.

A Bitter Requiem reviews
They say pride comes before a fall and Zevran had climbed high enough that the plummet proved fatal. At least... almost fatal. Rated M for safety. A short story gone long!
