Early release: Facebook Friends

You know, one of the things I find as annoying as a producer of content as I do as a consumer is the ways we have to step around intellectual property rights. So often people have to talk in circles around their social media usage, they have to invent OS's for characters' computers, etc. So for once, I just said fuck it, I'm not selling this one, so I'm just going to fair use the hell out of this.

This is a Friend Zone story. This time, the intrepid Todd befriends a girl he'd had a thing for w...

Commission: The New Normal at GHS

This is a little piece I wrote recently and had a lot of fun with. As I think I've mentioned, I've worked most of my adult life in education, so I love to take any chance I can get to twist the familiar into the fun. This piece reminds me a bit of "No Nerd Left Behind," though rather than turn over the school/community to just the nerds, it's a bit more open-ended. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Commission: The Hollywood Buzz

Here's a little piece I finished recently for a cinephile patron. It takes place in an alternate reality where movie theaters come standard-equipped with mind-control machinery, all unbeknownst to half of the viewing public. (I expect you can guess which half.) I'm occasionally tempted to delve more into this kind of thing, borrowing from fiction or from fame, but I think somewhere along the line some kind of baseless prejudice against fan fiction as a genre got hammered into me, so I try to sti...

The Last Maiden of Khas - heads up

I suppose I should call this post more of a disclaimer than anything. Should you wind up on my author page on Amazon and see the above, please know this is a re-titling of a story I shared here on patreon last week, then called The Treasure of the Vault of Myrgos. The last thing I want is for someone who's already donated to me via patreon to feel fleeced. I'm happy to have sales, but unless you're either pledging less than $5 here (and didn't get access), or just like the format/cover art and w...

The Last Maiden of Khas - patron reward

So this is a minimally altered version of The Treasure of the Vault of Myrgos, which I shared with you last week. There's cover art for it, and I wound up changing the title and the name of the tribe. ("Grolkash" was a bit too much chest-thumping orc and not enough sexy warrior woman.) I'll have more Truly New stuff soon, but for now, I at least wanted you all to have access to the real version.

Kiss of the Succubus now for sale

The Kiss of the Succubus is now live on my author page on Amazon. I've excerpted the opening below, just to give a little taste of where it's going. I hope you enjoy!

        Being a warlock can be pretty lonely. Trust me, I can attest firsthand...

The Kiss of the Succubus - patron reward

Thanks so much for your support, and here's something I hope you'll like!

Coming soon on Amazon: The Kiss of the Succubus

This is a story that began as the monthly commission drawing for July,  but I got kind of carried away with it and it took on a life of its own.  I always find it interesting in commissions how different folks have  different levels of specificity they want. Some people give me only the  vaguest of direction - "something kinda like Tolerance, maybe" - and  others are knitty gritty from names to appearances to plot outlines. It  takes me back to a class I took a clas...

The Treasure of the Vault of Myrgos

OK, this was just plain fun to write. A patron requested a story about a Conan style sword maiden, tamed but not bimboized, and... here's what came out. (How you could even fit a bimbo into Conanverse, I don't know - not a lot of pink frilly things to be found in those days...)

I liked this well enough I'd considered putting it out to sale once I get some decent cover art. Thoughts? Worth it? Meh? (Won't hurt my feelings if so. :) )Anyways, enjoy, lemme know what you think. I'll have another o...

Friend of a Friend, early release

So here we have another saga in the Friend Zone series, once more with Todd swinging by his "platonic" friend Stacey's apartment. I suspect the title gives away a fair amount of the direction. So for all you who wasted months and years being friend-zoned and want to vicariously undo it, this one's for you. 

I'll have a fresh commission for you this weekend, and the first chapter of The Secret of Harmony Reed volume 2! Aside, I just got my first paycheck from Amazon today. While money is n...

Character Creation: Demand

I'd been wanting to write this one for a while, and thank goodness somebody came along and incentivized it. For those who've forgotten/not seen, the Character Creation series is a D&D-inspired series of shorts, each one exploring a different item or spell and how somebody might use it for kicks. (Other posts available here.) If you don't play, Demand is a high-end spell that lets you implant a suggestio...

The Clothes Make the Woman, Ch. 03

This is another installment in the series -- by now Lauren's figured out what's happening to her, but when you dabble with things you're not meant to dabble in, you can't be surprised when you lose control. I hope you like it.

Just a head's up, I'm on vacation this week, my first in a very long time. (Nothing exciting, just hanging out with old friends. Low key.) I'll be back to work for y'all 7/9, where I'll be looking to oil up the machine and get it producing again. Look to see some sn...

Maid of Honor, early release

You know what's great about being an erotica author? Days when you wake up, have an interesting fantasy during your morning shower, then get to spend the rest of the morning churning it out in words. Today's addition, Maid of Honor, is not an awesome idea, but I had fun writing so who cares. :) Hope you enjoy!

The Clothes Make The Woman, Ch. 02

The second installment in the Clothes Make The Woman series. This was an interesting piece to write - it's not quite the usual mind control, but rather just changing someone but letting them retain their free will in within those confines. Comments welcome, and more to come!

The Clothes Make The Woman

As I keep getting myself caught up on my commissioned work (and those of you I haven't gotten to yet, I will soon), I figured it was well past time to give you guys a look at one of my on-going series I've been writing for a patron, The Clothes Make The Woman. A housewife tries to bolster her marriage by dabbling in the arcane, but instead accidentally curses herself such that whatever clothing she touches, she takes on personality and even physical traits of an accompanying archetype. Not surpr...

The Secret of Harmony Reed, Volume 1: Old Habits

And as promised, here are the files for you generous folks. Thanks so much as always for your support and encouragement as I've gotten all this off the ground. It means worlds, and I hope the book is a little payback for that kindness!
N.B.: I didn't include a .txt file this time; given the magnitude of the work, it loses a tremendous amount of formatting that damages the reading experience. If you need or still want it as a .txt just message me or comment and let me know, and I'll get you on...

Old Habits available on Amazon now!

I am so so so excited to pass along that my first ever published book is now for sale on Amazon! It's a little over 35,000 words, so novella length, and for sale for $4.99. I'll post the file in a separate post for $20+ patrons momentarily, but for everyone else, there's the link above! I posted the first chapter a while back, and the synopsis gives you a good idea where it goes from there.
Enjoy!

First book published soon!

So I know I've been talking about this for months now, but it's finally time! Some months ago, I released a teaser for a new novel-length story under the working title, Old Habits. It's grown somewhat since then, and the first volume is about to be released on Amazon! The compilation is called The Secret of Harmony Reed, and this first section will be ~30,000 words. I've included the cover as preview -...

Commission: The Hardship of Being Twins

 A fresh commission piece for you all, this one a pretty straight-forward fantasy, and one of my rare pieces about real persons. This patron wanted a little TLC from the Davalos twins, pictured above (and feel free to lose an hour or two googling more, like I did), and and boy howdy does he get it. Enjoy! 

The Chill Pill, Ch. 03, and Announcements!

Chapter three of the Chill Pill here, taking it out of the house and seeing a bit of the world now. Not sure how long this series will go, but I'll at least push it through until it's accomplished its ends.

Also, as we've just entered a new month, I wanted to take this opportunity to begin making some transitions to the patreon site. I'll be adjusting the site's design over the next few days, but for now, I wanted to give you some idea of the plan. As I've now learned that at least one of my p...

Friend of the Family, early release

And here's another tale in the Friend Zone saga, wherein Todd visits Stacey's mom's house. Suffice to say, Stacey's mom has got it goin' on. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

As a forewarning, there's tons and oodles of incest in this one, though it's all female relations (sisters and mother/daughters and aunt/nieces), but I know that's not everybody's cup of tea so I wanted to warn you up front. Without further ado... enjoy!

The Chill Pill Ch. 02, early release

So I officially updated the name to The Chill Pill. Oh, and I also wrote another 5k words or so. Ch 01 was heavy on exposition, so for this one I wanted to ramp up the good stuff. (And really, our protagonist is only human - he can only hold off abusing his invention for so long.) Enjoy!

Good Neighbors, conclusion

And here are the links for Ch. 03, the third and final chapter. It's a bit of a doozy, so maybe make some popcorn first.

Good Neighbors, Ch 02

All righty, now a little commissioned work to share with you. Back in December, I posted the first chapter of a story called Good Neighbors. A short recap follows for anyone not inclined to go back and re-read it. In that chapter, Warren curses his neighbor and ex-girlfriend Kelly not once, but twice. The first curse makes sure any arousal she experiences never really diminishes, building and building un...

Chill Pill, Ch 01 - early release

Whew! I'm finally nearly caught up on past due writing, and am gearing up to get back to my own work. To that end, here's the first installment in a new series, Take A Chill Pill. (I may shorten it to just Chill Pill; not sure yet. If you have feelings, let me know.) This first piece is in large part expository, just getting toward the good stuff, but I hope to get the second chapter done in the next few days before I start tackling this month's commission.  Without further ado...

Friends With Benefits, early release

As I'm still churning out some commissions, thought I'd give you this little piece to tide you over before I have some stuff worth showing you. Work's still going strong on the latest novel, Old Habits, and I'll be ready to unveil new benefits soon!

In the meantime, here's another little piece in the Friend Zone universe, this one a direct continuation of the original, in which Stacey's bratty high school sister comes to crash with her for a while and meets up with Todd. More to come!

Updates

So! I'm done with my old sucky job, and done with my move, and ready to dig in and write like crazy. At the top of my priorities is getting caught up on past due commissions for my high-contributing patrons. Lots of really cool ideas out there I've been too busy to give time to, so I'm looking forward to getting all that brought up to speed. Those of you I owe work to, I'm on it, I promise. (For my other patrons, this'll mean more for y'all to read too, and thanks to you folks as well.)

Once t...

Work Spouses, early release

Howdy, folks. Fresh new story for you called Work Spouses, set with the same protagonist and similar themes from "The Friend Zone." I really liked the idea of this. Sometimes, I get a story idea and I'm like "maybe someday, when I have time." This one I knew I had to pounce on right away.

That said, I don't know that I love how it turned out. I think it's acceptable, but something in it just doesn't feel perfect to me. Maybe I'm just lacking sufficiently sexy co-workers these days, and it'll d...

Announcement, and early release

So first the stuff I know you're all interested in - releasing chapter 1 of a new book-length work, Old Habits. (Working title - suggestions and criticism welcome.) When I started writing My New Girlfriend, I had a separate but related idea for another story about a woman who was likewise mind-controlled by a man in the past, someone outside the story. Unlike Courtney, however, the protagonist Harmony is aware of and all-too-open about her stature, opening the story thusly: 

My name i...
