Another batch of coloring fun! :D

Special Project Images, Part 2

More coloring book images! Featuring Brull, and a spanking. ;D

Special Project Images, Part 1

Surprise! The images you see above are from one of the special projects I've been hinting at forever: a coloring book! It's techinically a coloring-and-poetry book, retelling the events of the first two books in the Steel & Thunder series. The art is being drawn by Oxford Craik, who's done all my cover art, and each image will be accompanied by a small poem composed by yours truly. I'll be posting a few more images from this over the next few weeks, and I really hope you'll enjoy them. If...

The Crown and The Collar Relaunch

Happy New Year everybody! This news post is going to be a little different than the last few. If you’ve been following me on social media, you’ll know this past month has been a bit of a rough one. In addition to preorders getting canceled and my entire catalog being pulled offline, I lost a very, very dear friend of mine, David. I won’t post the entire sad story again, but I will2024-01-01 14:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post

The Tiger & The Wolf

Happy Holidays to everyone who has been celebrating! Thanks to everyone for all of your kind comments and well-wishes. I've been doing alright, grieving is certianly a process, but I'm already starting to feel like my old self again.

The next chapter of Caged Among the Stars is coming, just not yet. What I have for you today is actually an older story of mine, one I wrote for a friend of mine. While it's not set in the world of Steel & Thunder, I have a feeling you're still...

Enchanted Items

While they lack the technology of our world, enchanted magical items have been a part of everyday life in Terra for some time. And it’s more than just weaponry or other adventuring equipment: you have everything from specialized tools to common household items.

Still it is most commonly associated with adventuring troupes and sellswords. These warriors would accumulate magical items along their journeys, often times made by the spellcasters traveling with them. Weaponry that has been ...

Sad Announcement

This is a very difficult message to make, and one I have been dreading for some time. This is David, one of my best friends in the entire world. On Monday, David passed away after his battle with cancer came to an end.

Some of you knew David. Maybe you connected on Goodreads, or you read one of his reviews - several of them are on the backs of my hardcovers. He was even a beta reade...

The Crown and the Collar, Chapter 3

Hey everyone, I'm really sorry to do this, but I'm dealing with something serious right now and wasn't able to finish this week's chapter. In the meantime, please enjoy this chapter of The Crown and the Collar!

______________________________________________________________

“I’m going to tell him yes.”

“Son, no!”

“We told you: you don’t need to do this.”

“Please, just listen to me,” I start, hoping my explanation will be enough. I was up most o...

Before the Storm Releases in Two Weeks!

Time to say hello to winter, the holidays, the new year, and most important of all: you, my readers! I hope everyone had a nice autumn (or spring, depending on your hemisphere!), and that you all either already got or will be getting to spend time with the people you care about. I know I did.

Before the Storm: A Steel & Thunder Prequel releases in less than two weeks! Most if not ...

Caged Among the Stars, Chapter 10

“Here’s to Kaylin and Len!”

“To Kaylin and Len!”

It’s been less than two hours since the end of Kaylin’s day in court before the academy's tribunal, and to say that we feel like celebrating is an understatement. After everything was said and done (which took a while - apparently there’s a lot of paperwork to be signed and filed after something like that), it was decided a celebratory dinner was in order. And everyone came along - Tuck, Prim, Astella, Brakis, Gax, a...

Curses & Magical Afflictions

Magic is a wonderous thing that can be used to heal the sick and injured to a miraculous degree. But it can be just as harmful as it is helpful. We’ve already discussed a few specific magical afflictions, Vampirism and Lycanthropy, but there are many, many others. Several of these can be caused by interacting with or ingesting magical flora or fauna, but some are cast by other people, or even set ...

Caged Among the Stars, Chapter 9

“Do I look alright?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure?”

“You’re in a freshly cleaned and pressed uniform, what more could you do?”

“I don’t know.” He stares at himself in the mirror before turning on the style-switcher and seeing what he looks like with different hairstyles. “I knew I should have gotten a haircut yesterday.”

“Your hair is fine, boy.” I step up behind him to wrap my arms around his waist. “I know you’re nervous, but it's go...

No News November

It is officially fall, and truth be told, I don't have a ton of news for you this month. But they say that no news is good news, right? I've been hard at work writing the next Steel & Thunder book, and it’s been nice to revisit my boys and see how they’re doing. I’ve been putting a few final touches on a few of next year’s releases, and I can't wait for y'all to read everything. ;D

Speaking of, don'...

Nylan & Ragnar, Chapter 2

Dear god, I am so sorry, but my extremely exhausted and voerworked brain seems to have gotten confused, and as a result I have written the wrong chapter for this week's update. That means next month, you'll be getting two chapters of "Caged Among the Stars." Sorry again!

It was the day after my birthday p...

The Northlake Academy of Knighthood

The Northlake Academy of Knighthood was founded in 4710 by Ashton Thompson, and Vincent Cerano. This was the second of three such academies they started, each spread across Lutheria. The knights they train act as the primary law and peacekeeping force in the country, with this school intended to serve the area around the city of Northlake, as well as the northern corner of their island nation.

Nylan & Ragnar, Chapter 1

“So, are you going to tell me what you got me?”

“What, having trouble waiting until dinner?”

Picture it: the year was 4581. It was a cool autumn morning, and I was walking to work with one of my friend Khazak Ironstorm. I didn't normally have this much pep in my step before work (I’ve never been a morning person), but today was a special day.

Special because it was my birthday. My twentieth, to be specific, and I was very eager to celebrate. Khazak’s family would...

The Crown and the Collar Preorders & Cover Reveal

It’s the most magical time of the year: Orctober! If the title and image of the post didn’t make it clear: The Crown and the Collar is now available for preorder! The cover was drawn by Oxford Craik, the same cover artist for the Steel & Thunder series, and was inspired by 1941’s The Wolfman. Just, you know, sexier and gayer.

The book will be released on February 26th, 2024, and the paperback and hardcover editions will be listed soon. You can find t...

Caged Among the Stars, Chapter 8

“This is all you could get?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You said to get people I trusted.”

It’s the weekend, and I’m sitting in Kaylin’s room with him, his brother Lem, Tuck, and Prim. We’re here to discuss some sort of plan Lem has come up with for Kaylin’s tribunal hearing. It’s in just a few days and we’re understandably nervous about it, especially Kaylin.

Lem asked me to bring along any cabrian dom friends of mine, people I truste...

Elementals & Other Summoned Creatures

A spellcaster’s magic makes them very versatile in the heat of battle. They have all sorts of options for tackling the problems at hand, especially when those problems happen to be a large monster or enemy combatant that needs to be put down. And while some spellcasters are happy to attack directly, some prefer others to do the dirty work for them.

Summoned creatures typically reside on other...

Forest Fungus Fornication, Chapter 4

“Need now!”

“David! Just, wait a minute.”

But I don’t have a minute to wait. There’s a fire burning not just in my loins but my brain, and the only thing that is going to fix it is big, fat, orc cock. Lucky for me, there’s one right underneath me.

I press myself against Khazak’s body, his still half-hard shaft trapped between us. I grind my own cock against his, pressing us both down into the ground as I seek some relief. The friction feels good, but...

Smut Lovers Conference in Two Weeks!

Welcome to September, and hapy labor day to my US friends! (Support the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike!) I don’t have much for you in the way of book news this month as I’ve mostly been busy writing away at Steel & Thunder Book 5! I also just finished handing in the final edits to The Crown and the Collar manuscript, so that’s now off to typesetting and to get the audiobook recorde...

Caged Among the Stars, Chapter 7

Author's Note: Sorry for the delay, needed a little more polish!

______________________________________________________________________

“I want to--”

“No.”

I sigh. I’m sitting with Kaylin and Len in a small diner located somewhere between the academy and Len’s hotel, where we are supposed to be discussing me and Kaylin’s growing relationship. Between cabrians, this sort of thing is normally a formality, the dominant partner tradi...

Entertainment

Ha: Sorry everyone, I fucked up this month and wrote the wrong article. Elementals & Summoned creatures will be posted next month!

What Terrans think of as entertainment can feel almost regressive when compared to what we have on Earth, due in large part because no one has “invented” (or at least figured out how to properly harness) electricity. Though some are close -...

Forest Fungus Fornication, Chapter 3

“Alright, Frostsong, wrap it up. It’s been almost twenty minutes.”

“Yes, sir.”

Above me, Ranger Frostsong’s thrusts start to get harder and faster, until with a final grunt, he cums for what must be the seventh or eighth time tonight. Thanks to the blindfold, I’m not sure what time it is, I just know it’s been going on for a while. Hell, the only reason I even know it’s Frostsong is because Khazak said his name. Not being able to see has actually helped though, m...

Caged Among the Stars, Chapter 6

“You okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“You sure?” I turn to look at Astella, whose eyes are on the datapad in my hand. “You’ve been gripping that thing so tightly I’m worried it’s gonna snap in half.”

“Okay, fine,” I admit with a sigh, setting the pad at my side. “Maybe I’m a little ... stressed.”

“Because of Kaylin and his family drama?” Brakis asks next, sitting on the couch opposite his sister.

“What makes you say that?” I ...
