The Literate Beast

Chapter 10 is up

What else am I going to do on a Friday night?

Chapter 9 is up

This was also a really fun chapter. I was going to take it in a different direction, but I was inspired by something last night.

Chapter 8 is up

It's a little cliche, but I'm in the mood for this trope.

Chapter 7 is up

Had a lot of fun writing this one! Now the plot begins.

Chapter 6 is up.

This one took a while to write because I have a lot of things going on right now in real life. I'll keep getting these posted throughout the weeks until the manuscript gets back from editing. I also changed the date in chapter one from mid-summer to October to match the season.

Chapter 5 is up

Slurp

Chapter 4 is ready

Things are starting to go tits up. I wonder what could possibly go wrong.

Chapter 3 is up

This is turning into a fun one.

New Patron Q and A up

Sorry this took so long to get up. It was a long video and I kept putting off the edit.

Title tbd (New Story)

I had an idea for this story last year, but I wasn't in a good place to write it. Since I have a couple months to kill, I'll just work on this to keep the creative juices flowing.

I have a couple months to kill

So with the manuscript out to an editor and the cover being made, gonna focus on a story I started earlier this year. I have some good ideas for it that I've been thinking about. I'll see about getting the next chapters up soon. Stay tuned!

All chapters of draft three are up

And with that, it's time to ship it out to an editor. I'll leave the story up for the patrons who want to read it before it's published. As always, the link is up in story-updates in Discord.

33 Chapters Down

7 more chapters to go, and I'm done with this draft. Then it goes out to an editor! To read alone, the document is shared in the Story-updates channel in discord.

Up to chapter 18

Almost halfway done with the third draft, and the link is up on the story-updates channel in Discord. I'm hoping to have this done by mid-September so I can get this out for editing. Once that's done, things will start to move pretty fast.

It's exciting to think I'll have a third book out there soon.

When Life Gives You Werewolves Revision 3

I took the day off work to get a little more than the first quarter of the book done. The new document has 10 chapters up so far for those of you that haven't read the last version. I'm going through beta suggestions while making mostly minor changes. This will be the last revision before it goes out to an editor.

As usual, link to the document is in Story-updates on discord.

When Life Gives You Werewolves Fundraiser

I commissioned Kusu to make a little something for the book fundraiser, and I really like how it came out. We're already 10% of the way to the goal!

I'll be working on getting the 3rd draft finished this month so we can really get this ball moving.

Above is Cody (formerly known as Art) and Roscoe (formerly known as Simon).

When Life Gives You Werewolves Update

Alright, some news regarding the upcoming book:

I have gone ahead and removed access to draft 2 of the story for beta reading. I've gotten more than enough feedback for that and I've started working through the draft three revision. I'm still shaky on the new names and I've changed Simon twice, but the more I think about it, the more I like Roscoe better for his name.

Skuru will be doing the audiobook narration for this book as well. 2025-08-03 16:01:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 4 (Final chapter)

And so we conclude this short little romp in the labyrinth. This was a nice break from the book, but now I must begin the next draft of When Life Gives You Werewolves. As always, password is in the story-updates channel on Discord, as well as the epub download.

Titus and the Minotaur chapter 3

The password is in the story-updates channel of discord, and I haven't changed it this time.

Titus and the Minotaur Chapter 2

The password is in the Story-updates channel of my discord. As soon as I'm done, I will release this as an e-pub for patrons.

Warning: giant minotaur appendages.

New Short Story Erotica

I've uploaded the first chapter of Titus and the Minotaur on my website. The password is on my discord server in the wip-stories channel.

This is going to be porn with some romance and a bit of scattered lore. The first chapter is just setting it up. I'll work on this for a couple weeks before finishing it up.

Chapter 40: The Stars

The second draft is finally finished. I'll probably go through the story one more or two more times to fix things and tightened everything up before shipping it out to be edited.

I'm going to let it sit for a few weeks before touching it again. In the meantime, I'll be working on an actual short story. I'll decide on the plot today or tomorrow so we can get something fresh up here on Patreon.

Just an update

Since this weekend is a holiday, I likely won't be getting the epilogue finished. I'll be going to Denver today and I won't be back until later. I'll be getting back into writing tomorrow, so we'll see if I can get it posted then.

A new chapter 39 is up

I'm going to write the epilogue next week. There was always something bothering me about the way this story just ended, because I never got to show the side of Mosavi I wanted. Enjoy the insanity of the Mosavi chapter. Update is on the patreon discord.

Chapter 38 is up

I'll be writing the epilogue tomorrow, and will hopefully have it finished, and then I'll be going over the beta comments before making notes. After doing that, I'm going to work on something new for a couple weeks and then come back to it for the third draft.

Hopefully I can send this out for some professional editing in the next couple months, and then I'll be looking for a cover designer. I think this will end up being a pretty good book.

Chapter 37 is up.

Same deal as before! I'll be wrapping up chapter 38 with possibly some rewrites, and then adding one last chapter to wrap up what was once going to be another project that did not happen.

Chapter 36 is up

Okay, starting to lightening things up now. I changed some of the conversation between Arthur, Mosavi and Willa. Also corrected a few inconsistencies.

Chapter 35 is up

This was a rough one. I ugly cried when writing it, and I ugly cried while revising it. Update is in the google doc on the patreon discord.

Chapter 34 is up

I'm kind of in the zone right now. I'm probably going to take a break soon.

Chapter 33 is up

Had to rewrite some of it and add another scene.
