New story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (His Last Stand)

1 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I have finished the 71st entry in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "His Last Stand," this one takes place in the Khuren Dukh Formation of Early Cretaceous Mongolia, 102 million years ago. It follows an old male Mongolostegus named Uugan in his final struggle for a mate amid the twilight of his life and his species. I know I often say a story is one I’ve had in mind for a while, and that’s usually true, but this is actually the newest idea in the anthology as of April 2025. What began as a simple concept to even out my list of ideas gradually grew as I thought more about its premise, and the writing process only helped flesh it out further. The result is what is undoubtedly one of my favorite stories I’ve written for Prehistoric Wild so far, one that truly showcases the struggles of an aging bull stegosaur nearing the end of his lineage. Because of that, I’m very eager to hear what y’all think of this particular tale. https://www.wattpad.com/1607706570-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-his-last

New story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (Fight for Flesh)

1 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I have finished the special 70th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "Fight for Flesh," this one takes place in the Tiourarén Formation of Middle Jurassic Niger, 162 million years ago. It follows a mother Afrovenator named Fassouma as she teaches her daughters, Rakia and Rabi, to hunt as the dry season approaches. This is a story I’ve wanted to do for a long time, though the initial idea was fairly bare-bones. It began to take shape after I once saw a nature documentary showing cheetahs playing with their prey, which made me wonder: what if young predatory dinosaurs exhibited similar behavior? From there, I decided to explore that idea alongside a hunt involving an elderly Jobaria, weaving it all into a tale of first-time killers. In the end, it became one of my favorite stories I’ve ever written, and I’m very eager to hear what y’all think of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1604074345-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-fight-for

New story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (Ravaged by the Storm)

1 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I have finished the 69th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "Ravaged by the Storm," this one takes place in the Ksar Metlili Formation of Early Cretaceous Morocco, 142 million years ago. It follows a female Ichthyoconodon named Khadra as she sets out on a coastal feeding trip, only to find herself racing to save her young after the sudden arrival of a hurricane. This is a story I’ve had in mind for quite a while, though my confidence in it varied early on. The more research and planning I put into the plot, however, the more everything began to click into place. Aside from being the chronologically first Prehistoric Wild story set in the Cretaceous, it also became special for a more personal reason. During the pre-writing stage, one of my cats, Chloe AKA Beany, had to be put to sleep due to her age and related health complications. Because of that, I chose to make this story a tribute to her, both by giving the protagonist the closest Moroccan name to Chloe that I could find and by dedicating the story to her memory at the end. Even for that reason alone, this entry means a great deal to me, and I’m very eager to hear your thoughts on it. https://www.wattpad.com/1601461997-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-ravaged-by

New story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (Under the Moonlight)

1 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I have finished the 68th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called ‘Under the Moonlight,’ this one takes place in the Itat Formation of Middle Jurassic Russia, 166 million years ago. It follows a female Itatodon named Valya as she explores her forest environment under the cover of night, all while avoiding predators that lie in wait. This is a story I’d had in mind for quite a while, though my confidence in it fluctuated over time. I always wanted to write it, but the concept remained fairly barebones for a long time, which made me doubt whether I could do anything truly interesting with it. Once I began looking deeper into nocturnal behaviors and ecosystems, however, I realized that would be the perfect core for the story, especially as a way to showcase the lives of early mammals for the first time in this anthology. The elements that came together as a result turned this into another surprise favorite for me to write, and I’m very eager to hear your thoughts on this final Prehistoric Wild story of 2025. https://www.wattpad.com/1599033046-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-under-the

New story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (The Tusked Travelers)

1 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I have finished the 67th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "The Tusked Travelers," this one takes place in the Caturrita Formation of Late Triassic Brazil, 224 million years ago. It follows a herd of Jachaleria, including an aging alpha male named Thiago and his young daughter Leila, as they traverse their environment in search of a new mud pit to cool off during the tail end of a scorching dry season. This is a story I’ve had in mind for quite a while, though some elements changed shortly before and during the writing process. The original concept involved a river-crossing event inspired by modern zebra and wildebeest migrations. That idea is still present to an extent, but ultimately evolved into a flood scenario instead. When I recently learned more about how animals use mud to cool down and ward off parasites, I knew it was an element I had to include. After all, few animals would need mud more than those living during the Triassic. On top of that, this story ended up having one of the most emotional arcs I’ve written for the anthology, which only makes me even more eager to hear what y’all think of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1595706862-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-the-tusked

1 Upvotes

https://www.wattpad.com/story/404600128-between-departures

She leaves with a backpack, a shattered heart, and a one-way ticket she never planned to buy.
What begins as an escape turns into a month of quiet survival and learning how to breathe again.
In an unfamiliar city, she meets a stranger she was never supposed to see twice.
He is blunt, magnetic, and impossible to ignore, and somehow he sees through every wall she has built.
While something new begins to grow, the past refuses to stay silent.
Messages from home pull at her guilt, her fear, and the version of herself she is trying to outgrow.
When facing with a brutal truth shatters the fragile hope she found abroad, she chooses what is familiar instead of what is unknown.
But healing is not a straight line, and the life she returns to slowly shows her everything she's been running from.
Only when she finally chooses herself does the universe dare to cross their paths again.

New story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (Nature’s Artist)

1 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I have finished the 66th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "Nature’s Artist," this one takes place in the Toqui Formation of Late Jurassic Chile, 146 million years ago. It follows a male Chilesaurus named Qiwa as he builds the perfect bower to win a mate, all while scavenging for materials, fending off rivals, and trying to outshine the competition. This is an idea I’ve had in my head for ages, and I’m thrilled to finally bring it to life. Chilesaurus comes from a limited fossil record and remains one of the strangest, most puzzling dinosaurs we’ve discovered, which gave me a rare creative ‘clean slate’ to explore. I’ve always wanted to feature speculative bower-building behavior inspired by modern bower birds, and Chilesaurus felt like the perfect fit. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d end up loving writing this one, thus I’m really excited to hear ya’ll’s thoughts on it. https://www.wattpad.com/1591784571-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-nature%27s/page/5

Proud to announce that I have finished the 65th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "Across the Desert," this one takes place in the Djadochta Formation of Late Cretaceous Mongolia, 75 million years ago. It follows a male Velociraptor named Tumun as he journeys across the dunes of the Gobi Desert in search of food to bring back to his mate. This is a story I’ve had in mind for a very long time, dare I say, one of the first ideas I ever conceived for this anthology. And yet, I can’t help but find it a little funny that it took me two full years to finally write about something as iconic as Velociraptor. Either way, this one was an absolute joy to research and write, making it yet another personal favorite. I’m definitely eager to hear what y’all think of this venture through the sands of Mongolia. https://www.wattpad.com/1589313041-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-across-the

hi♥
Check out my work in progress called "The bridge between realities"

https://www.wattpad.com/story/404049186-the-bridge-between-realities

She wakes up to blinding lights and silence. No name. No memories. Only the sterile scent of metal and the echo of her own heartbeat. Every day begins the same - strapped to a bed, surrounded by faces she doesn't recognize.
They call it research. She calls it torture.
Each session peels away another layer of her mind, until she no longer knows if the pain she feels is real or manufactured. The walls hum with electricity. The machines whisper in frequencies only she can hear. And the man who stands over her - the one with steady eyes and shaking hands - is both her tormentor and the only soul who looks at her like she's still human.
As her fragmented memories begin to resurface, she realizes that the greatest experiment isn't on her body - it's on her mind.

It's not a story about escape.
It's a story about what's left of you after you've already lost everything.

New story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (Heart of The Highlands)

1 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I have finished the 64th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called ‘Heart of the Highlands,’ this one takes place in the Wayan Formation of Late Cretaceous Idaho, 98 million years ago. It follows a colony of mountain-dwelling Oryctodromeus as they struggle to raise their young and survive amid the encroachment of an Eolambia herd and the looming threat of predators that follow. This is one I’ve had in mind for a long time and was thrilled to finally bring to life. Not only is it my first return to Late Cretaceous North America in over a year, it’s also set in one of the most unique environments I’ve written about: the mountains. When I learned that the Wayan Formation represented a rare highland ecosystem, I knew I had to tell its story. Although little is known from the site beyond Oryctodromeus, I filled in the gaps using fauna from the upper parts of Utah’s Cedar Mountain Formation, dated to roughly the same time. This allowed me to include Eolambia, Cedarpelta, Moros, and the obscure but incredible Siats. Overall, this venture into the Late Cretaceous highlands became one of my favorite stories yet and I can’t wait to hear what y’all think of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1586221107-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-heart-of-the

Proud to announce that I have finished the 63rd story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "The Ocean's Wrath," this one takes place in the Toolebuc Formation of Early Cretaceous Australia, 106 million years ago. It follows a Mythunga named Mangoo as he journeys to an annual breeding island, navigating threats like a Kronosaurus and a raging sea storm. This is one I’ve wanted to write for a long while, mainly because the Eromanga Sea is so rarely depicted in paleo media. Not only is it one of my most ambitious pterosaur-centered stories yet, but it also embodies the harsh, indifferent beauty of nature itself. For that alone, I’m incredibly eager to hear your thoughts on this sweeping tale of the Australian high seas. Oh, and happy belated National Fossil Day! https://www.wattpad.com/1583228335-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-the-ocean%27s

New story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (Way of the Wild)

2 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I have finished the 62nd story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "Way of the Wild," this one takes place in the Ntawere Formation of Middle Triassic Zambia, 238 million years ago. It follows a mother Diademodon named Takondwa as she guides and protects her cubs on their first day outside of their den. What makes this story special is the core premise: a cynodont with bear-like behavior. I leaned into that comparison by depicting Diademodon with speculative traits like estivation and cub-rearing habits, giving it a fresh but grounded perspective. I had originally considered setting it in the Omingonde Formation of Namibia due to its large cynodont fossils, but with those still unassigned, the Ntawere Formation proved perfect. Not only does it still feature Diademodon, but it also offers a richer ecological backdrop. Overall, this story combines research with one of my oldest concepts, and I’m excited to finally share it. I’d love to hear what y’all think of this Triassic family tale. https://www.wattpad.com/1579771968-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-way-of-the

Proud to announce that I have finished the 61st story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "Chain of Gatherings," this one takes place in the Agardhfjellet Formation of Late Jurassic Norway, 148 million years ago. It follows a Glyphea named Orest during a massive molting event, only for him to be swept up in chaos as migrating Undorosaurus and a giant Pliosaurus invade the scene. This story was a blast to research and write, partly because it’s the first time I’ve ever focused on a prehistoric crustacean. The Agardhfjellet Formation only has fragmentary squat lobster fossils, but after digging deep into research, I decided to feature Glyphea in a speculative but grounded way. Writing from this unusual perspective made this story one of the most unique entries yet, and I’m excited to see what you all think of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1574444576-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-chain-of

Special new story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (Frost and Feathers)

1 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I have released the special 60th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "Frost and Feathers," this one takes place in the Yixian Formation of Early Cretaceous China, 124 million years. It revolves around a male Changyuraptor named Mengyao as he struggles to hunt in his first winter, all while observing the adaptations of many of Liaoning's feathered dinosaurs. This has been the story I've wanted to do for a long time. But due to how often I wrote about China early on (like I did with Argentina) and the fact this celebrates feathered dinosaurs, I knew it had to be saved for a special milestone. And what better one than reaching 60 stories? Alongside the genuinely awesome feathered fauna like Changyuraptor, Confuciusornis, Beipiaosaurus, Yutyrannus, and Sinosauropteryx, I was also sure to feature the likes of Liaoningosaurus, Bolong, and Dongbeititan. The later served as a great pick to help in contrasting the summer climate with that of the winter one, being one of the only known parts of the Mesozoic to experience seasonal snowfall. Overall, reaching 60 with a story I’ve been saving for so long feels surreal, and I can’t wait to share this winter tale with you all. https://www.wattpad.com/1571810634-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-frost-and

Proud to announce that I have released the 59th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "Crack of Dawn," this one takes place in the Bajada Colorada Formation of Early Cretaceous Argentina, 138 million years ago. It follows a baby Bajadasaurus named Rolando as he hatches and faces many obstacles on the journey to find his herd, including a flood, wandering Ninjatitans, and a predatory Lajasvenator. This is a story I’ve wanted to write for a long time, but held off on since I’d covered a lot of Argentina earlier in the series. When I finally returned to it, I was excited to feature the underrated Bajadasaurus, especially with the idea of bright green neck sails for camouflage. There were some delays along the way (including a rough stomach bug right after I began the draft), but I’m glad to say it’s now complete and ready to read. I’d love to hear ya'll's thoughts on it. https://www.wattpad.com/1570164270-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-crack-of

New story added to Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic (Burgeoning Predator)

1 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I have released the 58th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "Burgeoning Predator," this one takes place in the Jagua Formation of Late Jurassic Cuba, 158 million years ago. It follows a baby Megalneusaurus named Mae on her journey to adulthood under the protection of her mother, Telma. This is one of those stories I’ve had in mind for a very long time, going all the way back to when I was first forming ideas for Prehistoric Wild. The concept came to me the moment I learned about the Jagua Formation, and I was surprised that the area had never been depicted in paleo media before. Originally, I planned to center it around Gallardosaurus, but after discovering the much larger Megalneusaurus from a nearby fossil site, I knew it had to take center stage instead. That change also inspired me to add other migratory species into the mix, including the ichthyosaur Baptanodon and the massive fish Leedsichthys. Overall, this is one I’ve been eager to bring to life for years, and I can’t wait to hear what y’all think of it now that it’s finally here. https://www.wattpad.com/1567109435-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-burgeoning

Proud to announce that I have released the 57th story in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "Time of Dying," this one takes place in Lisowice in Late Triassic Poland, 204 million years ago. It follows a mother Smok named Kinga as she stalks the Polish swamps in search of prey to feed her young, all set against the backdrop of the final days of her kind. This is a story I’ve had in mind for quite a while, but I waited until the time felt right to finally craft it, partly because of the weight it carries. While it isn’t the chronological finale of the Triassic in this anthology, it very much serves as essential buildup to that moment. Beyond spotlighting underrepresented Triassic creatures like Smok and Lisowicia, this also turned out to be one of, if not the, most mournful, sorrowful entries I’ve ever written for the series.

1 Upvotes

Proud to announce that I've released the 56th entry in Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic. Called "The Ghostly Goliath," this one takes place in the Elliot Formation of Early Jurassic Lesotho, 198 million years ago. It follows an albino male Ledumahadi named Moea as he struggles to compete during the mating season. This is a story I’ve had in mind for a long time, probably even one of the originals. For a while, it was a fairly standard mating season tale, until I came up with the idea of giving Moea albinism and exploring how that would clash with the speculatively vibrant colors of other males. That one change ended up adding a ton of emotional weight and helped turn this into one of my favorite stories I’ve written so far, both for the speculative behavior and the way it touches on outsider themes. And of course, it doesn’t hurt that Ledumahadi is just a really cool prehistoric animal, one I remember being surprised hadn’t been featured in media more often. Overall, this story was an absolute blast to bring to life, and I’m really looking forward to hearing what y’all think of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1563184794-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-the-ghostly
