Update #2

I hope you enjoy the new-and-improved Chapter 3 of Blood and Lace. Warning: it's chock full of vampire tears.

On the writing front, I've written two new chapters over the last four days! Though—oopsie—each one belonged to a different project. 😅 One was the first chapter of my day-drinking series (DDS). Did you know that military sci-fi requires 800% more acronyms than fantasy? It really does. The other chapter was a cozy concept that demanded a test drive. Must be someth...

Blood and Lace: Chapter 3

So this is where Linden bought it.

Nicholas had still been waiting for permission to enter the townhouse when they’d brought the body bag out. It had been gingerly handled by two hunters, their heads bowed either out of respect or sadness.

On the writing front, I've nearly completed my notes for the first story of my "day-drinking series." I was having trouble with the hero's background, but I think I've finally got things figured out. Still dealing with Patreon growing pains, so that's a...

Blood and Lace - Chapter 2

Time had gone soft again. Was it the same night? A different night? Had the years marched past as Della lay there, surrounded by the stink of mildew and rot? For a time she had retreated inward, stumbling through fragments of memory like a woman pursued. But there was no true escape. She couldn't push a pil...

This Exciting (Mildly Frightening) New Enterprise

Wow. A Patreon. Never thought I would get to this point. It’s thrilling to have a platform to share work on outside of Amazon! I’m still new, so please bear with me. I’ll do my best to respond to comments and keep you updated.

As mentioned in the Patreon description, I also want to use this platform for behind-the-scenes stuff that goes beyond what I share on the Romance for Men discord. While my biggest endeavor at the moment has been assembling and building out this site, I have...

Blood and Lace - Chapter 1

Della stared up at the roof of the cargo van, watching light-patterns from streetlights and cars drift across the rust-adorned metal. Every time Drus took a turn she felt herself slide across the metal floor, bumping against one side or the other. At one point he accelerated so fast that her head hit the re...
