New Short Story!

Pre-Order for March 18th

     The Fox and the Flea is a short story about all of the things we are powerless to control, and the judgements we can make out of frustration and fear— judgements even, about ourselves. It's available for pre-order on Kindle before March 18th, the date of it's release. 

     Embark on an adventure with the incomparable Mr. Flea as he becomes aware of the world around him, enjoying the wonderful things in his simple life, yet feeling a deep empathy for the for the tragic. With a sensitive and contemplative heart, Mr. Flea grows weary of all that he can't control. With no power to help those around him, his empathy turns to guilt, and guilt gives way to anger— especially when the circle of life ends in death.  But then a wonderful thing happens; a new friend shows up— well, several friends in truth. The forest might have seemed a mundane place before, but the truth is, mundane is a thing it never was. The forest had always been a silent dance of wisdom and magic, just patiently waiting for his heart to stir.  Mr. Flea's extraordinary journey turns his guilt and anger to acceptance and faith, finding love and wisdom along the way. And the most important friends he had, were the friends he hadn't known— but even though he didn't know them, they loved him all the same..

In Progress

Release Late 2023

C.J. is currently working on an epic fantasy novel series about 

the Archangel Michael and the inception of evil. Combining folklore, religion and iconography, this ever-so-human tale about the heavenly host brings us back to a time before time—when innocence reigned and evil was still an unused variable.

Incorporating Bostrom's simulation hypothesis, this unique spin on the legendary fall from grace shows us how our attitudes and choices truly have the power to not only shape us; but to shape everything.

Wicked Ever After is here!

Today! February 10, 2023

Check out the latest work by C.J. Piperata.

Wicked Ever After is a fairytale retelling anthology from Grim House Publishing. An eclectic collection of dark retellings, C.J. and other talented authors twist and reimagine our favorite fables to show us that sometimes-- we only get one side of the story. "Rumpelstiltskin & True Love's Song," C.J.'s contribution to the project, is a twist on the famous tale that taught us that all straw can be weaved to gold. Or rather, any hopeless situation can be mastered with a little gumption, creativity, and of course... magic.
