Every time I sit down to do one of these introductions I always stare at my keyboard for like twenty minutes going, 'fuck...what do I even say? does it even matter?' and then I spew out some random stuff for y'all to read. So, this is my random thought for y'all to read. I've had a long couple of weeks, a lot of grueling editing involving this story and plenty of writer's blocks as I try to dive into something new but what's most important is that I'm back with a new chapter for everyone and ...

Well, I'm back from the dead!
Seriously though, for all of you who have inquired and sent me kind dms, I am on the mend and finally getting back to things. It's been a minute since I've got to work on anything so I'm really happy -- and pretty excited too -- to be getting a fresh chapter out for you guys. Especially one that was as GIGANTIC as this one was -- nearly forty pages. Like, whew, it was a doozy to edit. But here it is finally and because I'm on the up and up...

Alright, now that we've got THAT out of the way, hey there everyone, it is good to be back after my little mini hiatus. It seemed appropriate after the last chapter I posted, which was the halfway point for this story, and honestly I just wanted the time to finish the Wild One before I got back to you guys. Which is great because now I have the time to go through and edit the final five chapters so we can get back to my regular posting schedule again -- new...

It sure didn't feel like Patreon wanted me to get this one out with all the technical difficulties there have been lately but here we are. It's a bit of a doozy this time, more so than my usual chapters, so make sure to carve out a couple of extra minutes if you plan to read it all in one go.
Okay y'all, stay safe out there and happy reading!

I'm just gonna be honest with you guys, it's been a hell of a week and I don't have much to say to hype you up for this chapter. Instead, I'm just gonna tell you a little story about when I was writing this one.
So, as most of you probably know by now, my gf goes through and edits all of my books with me now but when I first started writing The Wild One I wanted a break from all the heavy critiquing shit. I just wanted to do something for me, so when she would read through it, she wa...

So, I want to just start this chapter release by saying a few things. I, like many of my artist friends, have been struggling with getting into a place to create content with the state that the world - and especially America - are in right now. However, I also believe in the beauty of escape now and again. Not to make the problems disappear but to give your mind a rest so you can tackle the problems full force again with a fresh head. So, that being said, I'm going to continue posting chapter...

Hey all!
So, the end of the month is drawing near and I'm preparing for my first raffle to determine who will be the lucky patron to have their name immortalized in one of my stories forever. I wanna make a note that if there's a name that you'd like to volunteer other than your own, that's totally fine. I'll reach out to the winner when I draw a name and we'll work out the details.
Also, I want to mention that I'll be releasing chapters for The Wild One every two weeks until the ...

I've been waiting all week to post this and here it finally is, The Wild One.
This story is a bit in the making, it's been through different drafts and lives but this is the incarnation that's the most authentic to the story I wanted to weave and I'm so excited to share it. I guess I should mention that we're gonna delve more into the fantasy realm of things with this one -- something I've wanted to do more for awhile now -- and I hope that you guys enjoy that. It's been nice working on...

Lil was at the dining room table when I came in the kitchen looking for a snack.
Her furrowed brows pressed into a tight line over amber colored eyes and in her hands she held two identical looking heart shaped valentines cut from red construction paper and covered in glitter. There was an intense gaze in her eyes as they went back and forth between the valentines with a concentration that was completely foreign to Lil.
Outside of any reckless sporty activity that is.

I almost made it all the way up the sidelines before Elliot noticed me with a surprised, but overall delighted, smile.
“Well, hello there,” Elliot said in his low, rumbling voice before his broad face broke out in a grin. “What's a pretty guy like you doing all the way out here?”

So, just to complete this whole re-launch thing, I made a Facebook page that I'll be posting updates on periodically -- nothing that I wouldn't also post on here or Twitter though. So basically, if Facebook is your platform of choice, this should be good news for you because it'll be much easier to keep up with my writing and updates, etc.
Unrelated, but I know some of you have been having trouble switching over to a new tier because you were previously in one that isn't available now (...

Okay, so there's a lot that I need to cover today so bear with me on this long(ish) post.
First things first, why all of the changes? A perfectly acceptable question, 'cause if it ain't broke why should I go fixing it, right? Well, as I mentioned in my previous update, I've been wanting to do a face-lift on Patreon for awhile. My overall hope is that it'll make things easier for you to find the content that you want and easier for me to create it for you as well.

Hey guys, quick update.
I'll be doing some maintenance on the site until tomorrow afternoon (CST). Be sure to check back in the next few days because I'm gonna be changing the tiers a bit and you'll want to make certain that you're signed up for the right one before the new payment quarter (May 1st).
Anyways, I think that's about it. Wish y'all the best and stay tuned. I'll be checking in with you again soon with some bigger updates.

Me and my girlfriend - honestly, mostly my girlfriend - put together a little survey/poll kind of thing in order to get to know y'all a little better. We hope that it'll give us a better idea on how to bring you content in the way that you want. So, if you have a few minutes, please take the time to take it.

Hey guys.
So, it's been a crazy journey over the last couple of months for me. The move went well, but the covid pandemic picked up about a day after we got here, so things have been a bit hectic and stressful, to say the least. I haven't been able to get much writing done with all of the madness, hence how quiet I've been here lately, but this quarantine that most of us are in got me thinking.
Personally, I've been going stir crazy and burning through a lot of books, ...

This is it, y'all. This is the end. We're finally here at the conclusion and holy shit what a conclusion it is. Like, sheesh, this is a huge chapter. But what else did anyone expect with the subject of Honey Bear's wedding, really?
Side note, for the people that have been waiting to read this as a whole, I'll be posting a full pdf of all 20 chapters here in the next few days or so. Other than that enjoy the conclusion of Blitz!...

It's kinda fluff in between the last big point and the conclusion, but don't worry, got the final update for Blitz -- and the wedding everyone has been waiting for -- coming...

So it's a new year and we're on the same old story, heh, But don't worry, we're so very close to the end. Just two more after this.
So this is the big moment I think we've all been waiting for where Trent finally pulls his shit together. Personally this was one of my favorite chapters to work with so I hope y'all like it. Oh, and there's gonna be a big ol' NSFW warning in this chapter.
Happy Reading!

AN: This one goes between chapters 16 & 17 of Blitz, so there's a minor spoiler alert for y'all. I can't say that it's gonna spoil the actual story of Blitz at all, but that is where it's intended to go in order to fit into the events happening in Blitz, so read at your own discretion with that in mind. Quick shout out to Laust Rasmussen for reminding me that I needed to write this after chapter seventeen went live. I had completely forgotten about it until you made that comm...

If you love Evie and Rebecca, you'll love this one. They dropkick the teeth out of this chapter and it was just a blast to watch and write. It reminded me a lot of the old days in Enemies Closer where these two pseudo sisters beat the crap out of each other verbally -- all while poor Trent just has to sit there and try to survive the force of their personalities.
My greatest accomplishment for this chapter, hands down, was that my editor didn't even touch the last eight p...

So, if I'm gonna split up Blitz into acts -- which I do in my head -- this would be the finale of the third act, right before we head into the final five chapters of act four. Which, by the way, are already finished they're just in the process of being polished and shined at the moment. And that means that I can start working on new things -- and trust me, I already am.
Speaking on this chapter for a moment, this is really the last piece of Trent's 'dark' era and we get to see some of t...

I promise it's because I've just had my nose to the grindstone, pretty much constantly. Even though we're only on chapter fourteen here, I'm actually working on the last chapter of the story as we speak -- and for those of you who don't follow me on twitter, we got a HoneyBear wedding there! Things have just been delayed a bit in the editing process and let's just be fair, I write...
