Mid-Month Update

Uh-oh. I don’t do these very often, and when I do, it’s often bad news.

Which is the case here.

It’s nothing significant, but it’s disruptive enough that it’s worth mentioning. Basically, I’ve been running from burnout this entire year and it seems like it finally caught up to me now that I’m in the SAD swamps. I was hoping being medicated for ADHD would help, and while it has, it wasn’t quite enough. But the burnout isn’t the only issue.

Our Own Way has been swirling around in my head since mid-2021. I’ve had a lot of time to think about it and I’ve been pretty unsure of how long it’s going to be. I’ve finally settled on something: the next novel, Our Own Way 7, will be the final novel. And, more than that, I am delaying Primal Love II to instead get Our Own Way 7 written first. The reasons for these decisions are many, because it’s often a lot of little things that add up to a decision, but I like to try and explain myself if I can whenever I have to make a choice that cuts against what I originally decided or intended. If you don’t care, you can skip this next paragraph and look over the bullet points.

Being Our Own Way is slice of life, it’s a lot more meandering than most anything else I’ve written in recent years. While it’s based off a series I already wrote, it’s definitely gone onto its own tangent by now, so the endpoint became even more unclear. Now that part six is finished and I’ve had a couple of days to look over what’s left on my list, I’ve come to realize that the next book is going to be a potential endpoint. That is to say, I could end it there, and in a satisfying way (I hope), or I could keep it going with basically a second collection of books exploring a new broader overall arc in the story. I’m choosing not to do this, mostly because…after four and a half years, I think I’m good and satisfied with this series. I have other series I want to write, and I’ve come to learn that splitting my attention is bad. So on the creative side, I’m kind of burned out on Our Own Way. On the financial side of things, Our Own Way has done well, but it’s definitely reached the point of diminishing returns. While I’m comfortable financially, I’m also growing increasingly anxious about my financial future, and I’ve also come to realize that 2025 was kind of a mess, in terms of the business side of my creative career. I’ve only released three successful novels this year, and one isn’t even out yet, so I’m guessing OOW6 will be successful, but that’s kind of insane. So I…need to get my shit together basically, for 2026. And wrapping up Our Own Way is a big part of how I do that. Sorry if you were hoping for more, but I’ve come to learn that there’s always going to be someone who hopes for more, which I understand. I’m the same way for some series that I love.

Okay, now the quick bullet point list.

That’s it. Sorry if this is disappointing. I hope all your holidays go well.

The Misty Vixen Newsletter | December 2025

November wasn’t that bad.

I ran into a few more issues than I had hoped, and the repairs in the basement are still technically ongoing, but I managed to write more words in November than I have for any other month since June. And it was within spitting distance of June’s output, so that feels kind of nice at least.

However, I would like to go on a small rant for a moment. You can ignore this if you only care about the work. I noticed that I wasn’t really feeling it nearly as much anymore this past month, it being my ADHD medication. I struggled through the month trying to make do with what I had, but it was really not working. I thought maybe I might need to up my dose yet again. But then, suddenly, when I started my next monthly supply of the medication, it was working again! What the fuck happened? Well, did you know that the medications you get, even though they look EXACTLY THE SAME, can come from completely different corporations? And did you know that corporations are allowed to have as much as a 20% deficiency by the FDA in the medications they make? And so as a consequence of this fact, lots of corporations just cut corners and make their drugs not as effective? That’s what I got to learn. Fun times. This whole Medical Industrial Complex is working out fucking fantastically.

Here’s what I managed to get done in November.

And that’s it. I actually got kinda close with Our Own Way 6. In terms of actual writing, I’m at about 90% right now. So thankfully, it should be up for pre-order within the next week or so. Now, as for what’s coming up for the final month of 2025?

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE - EPISODE 12. Out right now! The series finale.

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE - COLLECTION THREE. This one will get published on the 15th. So, I’m going to do something most people would call me dumb to do, but I’d like to maintain my integrity as much as I can. This Collection isn’t going up for very long. I’m not completely sure how long, but the reason for this is because it needs to go up for the audiobook counterpart. The reason it needs to come down is because I need to release the Complete Series omnibus next month. And I’d rather not potentially draw Amazon’s ire for having ‘too many’ versions of something up. Whatever ‘too many’ is to Amazon this month. So if you don’t want to purchase it, I completely understand. Also, you will not miss anything at all if you do not purchase this collection. Everything in here will also be in the Complete Series omnibus. Because of this, I won’t make much fanfare. Honestly, the coolest thing we’ll get from this collection is the cover art, which features Riley.

  • OUR OWN WAY 6. Definitely coming this month.

  • PRIMAL LOVE II. So, I can for sure say now that I’m not getting this published before 2026. I had hoped, but it didn’t work out that way. I’m going to try to have the pre-order up before 2026.

  • AFTER DARK - COLLEEN’S THERAPY. I will try to get this one out. It’ll likely be the most…involved After Dark I’ve written so far.

  • ENTERING DESOLATION - EPISODE 01. This is my next serial novella series. It’s Sci-Fi Survival/Horror. Think DOOM 3 or Aliens. I’ll talk more about it once it’s actually up and running in the form of early access on my Patreon.

And that’s that. I’m admittedly a little worried. December - February is traditionally the time of year where I do the worst. Though this will be my first winter medicated. Typically, I sort of take some time off at the very end of the year, mostly out of desperate need, because my mental health takes such a hit. Certainly I needed it last year, but…January also couldn’t have really been predicted. I think I’d have lost it even if I had taken more mental health days. So, here’s hoping.

The Misty Vixen Newsletter | November 2025

I’m grumpy.

So, I had what you could call a homeowner incident this week. The kitchen sink was backing up. It was a problem that’s happened on and off throughout the years. This time, it wasn’t having it, and it fucked up the dishwasher, too. Called out the plumbers. They informed me that the solution to this problem was going to require jackhammering my basement floor up and cost…somewhere in the low five figures. Given there wasn’t really much choice in the matter, we did it, and I got to try and sleep through literal jackhammering in my house for a few days. (Coincidentally, that’s why my early access of OOW6 faltered. Not enough sleep.)

Anyway, as annoying as this was, it kind of kicked my anxiety back up in a broader sense. And suddenly I found myself rethinking my decision to not do another serial fiction piece next year. Because before I was comfortable enough that I could afford to take some hits for the sake of my sanity. But now? I mean, this didn’t seriously fuck anything up, but it kinda felt like a near miss of an asteroid, you know? Yeah, no real damage was done, but…it fucking could’ve been. It could’ve been apocalyptic. And it could happen again, just as easily. And suddenly, the resources you’ve felt comfortable with for a few years now are not nearly so comforting.

Especially with the way my country is going right now, Jesus fucking Christ. Shit is SO expensive now. And it just keeps getting worse.

Anyway.

I’m settling on an idea right now. I feel a little more confident about being able to do this, because now I’ve had some practice. It’s going to be a bit smaller in scope, and definitely feature fewer love interests. I’m going to cap it at four, may just have three. It’s going to be rather different from everything else I’ve written. It’s going to be a sci-fi survival/horror. The classic story of the isolated, deep space research station that’s screwing around with technology beyond our understanding and suddenly, oh no! We’ve filled the corridors with alien beasts and lots of blood, and ninety nine percent of the staff are dead! Can you escape!? That plot. I’m kind of excited to experiment with it, actually. But admittedly it’ll be difficult to find a balance between the survival and the romance.

Let’s talk about projects in November.

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | COLLECTION TWO AUDIO is up!

  • PRIMAL LOVE AUDIO should be out this month.

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | EPISODE 11 is up!

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | EPISODE 12 (the final episode) will begin early access sometime soon.

  • LAKESIDE COUGARS - THE COMPLETE TRILOGY is up on a long pre-order. It will drop on December 26th. If you’re wondering why I’m suddenly doing my first long pre-order and why it’s for this? Well…basically, it seemed like a good opportunity to experiment. I’ve never done a particularly long pre-order, so I’m curious to see what kind of results it might produce. Of course, in the natural Misty Vixen style, I’m doing it in such a way that it’s going to screw with the results. (Using an omnibus instead of a novel.) For the sake of transparency, there’s not going to be any bonus content. It will be 9.99$. Basically, you’d be buying it for your own enjoyment, or to support me. Which I will always appreciate.

  • OUR OWN WAY 6 (Early Access). I had hoped to be farther along with this, but October was also a bumpy month. The good news is that it’s still coming out relatively easily. Once Monday rolls around I’m intending to get right back on course. I’m going to go hard and try to get this finished this month, with a pre-order for mid or late November. The only thing that’s tripping me up is…I did not quite realize just how much ground I need to cover in this novel. I’m reluctant to cut corners, but to properly give it the space it needs to breathe, it might actually end up being the longest novel in the entire series. Which obviously takes longer to write.

  • PRIMAL LOVE II: Once I finish Our Own Way 6, I’ll hop right onto this. My goal is to get it up for pre-order and out before the end of the year. It will almost certainly be a late December release.

  • AFTER DARK - VETRA’S SECRET: Uh, yeah…sorry about this one. Sort of had to kick that can down the road. Part of the problem is that writing these scenes requires me to ‘feel it’ more than most other scenes. I’m going to try and get this one done this month.

That’s basically it. Sorry I wasn’t more productive. I’m hoping November is when I’ll really lock back in. The weather is turning very nice, I just need things to stop happening for a few weeks.

The Misty Vixen Newsletter | October 2025

I’m concerned that the phrase ‘Well, (insert month here) didn’t go as expected’, is going to become a strong part of my vocabulary. If it hasn’t already. Unfortunately, I lost a fair amount of time to real life stuff happening.

Here’s what I managed to achieve in September.

Now, as for what’s coming up in October, (fingers crossed)…

Those are the things for sure. Now to talk about a few other things…

  • Last month, I said that I needed to wait to see how Primal Love did before determining which project I worked on next: Primal Love II or Our Own Way 6. Well, time has passed, and I now know how Primal Love did. Um…not very well, unfortunately. I was really hoping that I was going to be the one who broke out in mono-romance, but it was not to be. Unfortunately, it didn’t even do well among the other authors who have tried this. Like, man, I’m feeling…kind of ashamed? I tried pretty hard on this one and it was largely met with indifference. So…that’s been kind of hard to endure. It’s actually made me reconsider future plans for mono-romance. I’ll need more time for the dust to settle, but I’m thinking now maybe my next non-harem attempt will be that awkward territory between mono and harem where it’s a guy and two girls. I dunno, we’ll see. Ultimately what this means is that Our Own Way 6 is coming. It’s going to be intense, at least for an Our Own Way novel. If I manage to get my shit back together and luck is with me, I might be able to at least get the pre-order up before November, but that seems unlikely, so expect OOW6 probably in mid-to-late November.

  • I’ve officially commissioned a nude wallpaper for Lakeside Cougars, and yes, you will get to see Kate.

  • I’ve decided to try and put a little more distance between my older, non-harem erotic works and my modern harem (and other RFM) titles. One of the main ways I’m doing this is changing some cover art. I’m going to be re-covering A Warm Place. I’ll wait to update the actual novels until I have all of them, but I’ll be releasing the nude art versions as I get them. I’m hoping to have this done before the end of the year, but we’ll see. I’ll also be re-covering Monster Girl Inn.

  • As we head into 2026, I’ll likely slow down the After Dark shorts, mostly because it’s not like I’m sitting on a huge stack of ideas. I’ve got about half a dozen more for Our Own Way (and I’m sure more will come), but I’ve just got two for Lakeside Cougars, one for A Warm Place, and nothing else at the moment. After Dark was mostly created as a passion project, so it’s not something I want to necessarily go looking for ideas for, but instead let the ideas come to me.

  • The year’s coming to a close. It’s looking like I’ve got two more novels in me for 2025. (Technically three, if you count the final Down the Rabbit Hole Collection). It’ll be Our Own Way 6 and Primal Love II. If I’m very lucky, I’ll manage to get both of them out before 2026. Besides After Dark and a couple of secret projects I’m working on, that’ll be it for the year. But that’s probably for the best for me. Hopefully I’ll have a better handle on things and better news to report the next time we do this.

My 100+ Novel Celebration Sale!

I’ve officially written and released over a hundred novels! Originally, I was going to make this post about Primal Love being my one hundredth novel, but that didn’t work out because of medication-related problems, but who cares!

I published my real story as Misty Vixen on September 23rd, 2014. Just over eleven years ago. To say that it’s been a wild ride would be an understatement. This isn’t really a reflection post, as I feel like I did that with my A Decade of Writing post at the beginning of the year.

Instead, this is basically a big giveaway/sale! I do one or two of these every year, where I put some 70% of my catalogue up for free or on a steep discount, so I’m doing that! I’ll also take the opportunity to list my one hundred plus novels. (Some aren’t on Kindle, but they’re free on my website. Some are coauthored with Lara X. Lust. One or two won’t be available at all anymore.)

Let’s get started.

THE NOVELS

OTHER

The Misty Vixen Newsletter | September 2025

August didn’t go as well as I had hoped. However, I did at least figure out what the problem (mostly) was. My body had adapted too well to the current level of ADHD meds and I have started a higher dosage. It’s helping, but it’s obvious I still haven’t figured everything out.

Consequently, I didn’t manage to get as much done as I’d hoped.

That being said, let’s keep this brief, as I’m feeling better and want to get back to writing.

What I got done in August

And that’s August. Unfortunately, Primal Love did not come out. I’m glad to say there wasn’t a catastrophe, but man I was really hoping to get it done. It will be soon. It’s written, and over halfway edited. It’s the first thing I’m going to wrap up this month.

Let’s talk about September.

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | EPISODE 10 will begin early access soon. Within the next week, ideally. I really let the last episode get away from me and it’s obvious I’m beginning to have issues with the series. There will probably be another Meanwhile this month. I intend for there to be six total.

  • THE WOMAN WITH GLOWING EYES will be released to Amazon. It’s going to be a 99 cent story and not in the KU. The reason for this is because I want to be able to keep it up on my Patreon. I got a simple cover drawn for it that I think works pretty well.

  • PRIMAL LOVE will go up for pre-order very soon. Within the next few days. It’ll be a 10-day pre-order.

  • AFTER DARK will get at least two more shorts this month. I’m going to write one for Chloe, and then the first one for Lakeside Cougars, which will feature Vetra.

  • HAVEN - WE WHO PERSIST might get published to Amazon this month. If not this month, then next. Like The Woman With Glowing Eyes, it will be 99 cents and not in the KU, as I want to keep it as a reward on my Patreon. But everyone will have access to it for less than a buck.

  • BIG GIVEAWAY. It’s been too long since I’ve had a big giveaway/sale, so I’m going to have one starting very soon. Pretty much all of my erotic individual titles will be free, with the collections being 99 cents. Several of my harem titles are also going to be free, with some being heavily discounted, including some collections. I’ll make a special post about it.

That’s all I want to commit to for September, but I need to discuss something with my Patreon readers.

Getting on ADHD medication has changed things for me, and one of the things that’s changed is my realization that I need to whittle down the amount of writing projects I have ongoing. In this spirit, I’ve been forced to conclude that I’m going to have to just cut my 10$/Month Tier. It probably sounds ridiculous, needing to cut a single short story per month, but it’s become obvious to me that my brain gets…cluttered. And apparently I navigate that clutter with all the dexterity of a drunk trying to make their way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I get caught up on things, mentally, too easily. I need a cleaner pipeline for my projects.

I’m not going to be able to achieve this completely in 2025, because I have Down the Rabbit Hole to contend with. As a consequence of this, and of wanting to see how Primal Love is going to turn out, I’m going to use September to (God fucking willing) finally catch up. It’s insane, but in a way, I’m still playing catchup from decisions I made in 2023. Ultimately, what I’m hoping will happen is that having fewer projects on my plate will mean that I can release single novels more expediently and regularly.

There’s likely to be more changes as the dust settles across the rest of the year. Sorry if this is annoying, it’s definitely annoying for me, too.

The Misty Vixen Newsletter | August 2025

I kinda dropped the ball in July. Sorry about that. Things got busier than I anticipated and I’m also still tangling with problems related to my meds. And that second one is still ongoing, unfortunately.

I’ll (try to) keep this short and simple.

What Came Out In July:

And…yeah, that’s how I dropped the ball. Obviously there was supposed to be a lot more there. So the first part of August is going to be me playing catchup. Here’s what you can expect.

  • PRIMAL LOVE: This one will be finished and released this month, barring some huge catastrophe. I’d say I’m 2/3 finished with it right now. I’m aiming for the first half of the month. Part of the issue with this one is that I’m finding myself having to adjust the plot, even though I thought it was pretty set. This is partially because I’m still adjusting to writing mono-romance and questioning the pacing, and another part of it is…shall we say, the desires of the RFM readership sometimes finds themselves at odds with the desires of the narrative.

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | EPISODE 08: This one is out now.

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | COLLECTION TWO: This one will go up for pre-order sometime next week and will drop the 15th. It will have two bonus short stories. Audio has begun recording.

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | EPISODE 09: Will begun Early Access either late next week or early the week after that. I need some time to get caught up on other projects. Speaking of which…

  • AFTER DARK: I’ll get at least two of these written, probably both for Our Own Way.

  • PATREON SHORTS: I feel bad about this one. I’ll get a minimum of two pieces out for this one. I’ve begun writing basically a second epilogue to HAVEN, that picks up about a year later. It’s sort of a look at how everything’s working out.

  • DESPERATE LOVE - THE COMPLETE TRILOGY: This one should go up for pre-order sometime soon and should be launching on the 19th.

  • THE WOMAN WITH GLOWING EYES: As a remind, this is a short story I wrote as my first current Patreon reward. It’s unique, however, in the sense that it is a mono-romance and also a stand-alone. I intended to make it free last month, but I ran into some issues and found out I CAN’T make it free, because it’s ‘too sexual’. So instead I’m just going to host it on my website. I’ll probably publish it to Amazon now that I’ve taken the opportunity to get some simple cover art made. It’ll be out this month.

And that’s what I’ve got for projected releases and projects for this month. I think, once I finish Primal Love, I’ll probably not begin production on Our Own Way 6 until September. There are two reasons for this. The first is that I’d like an opportunity to maybe get ahead on some of the other side projects, and the second, more significant reason is that the more I write Primal Love, the more I feel like it requires at least one sequel. The primary question for this sequel ultimately depends on how well it does. The reason for this is because if it takes off and does REALLY well, then I need to jump on that IMMEDIATELY, or I’m wasting SOOOOO much momentum. If I don’t get a sequel out within at least six weeks, I’m killing the series that could be. That, unfortunately, is how Amazon works. All hail the mighty algorithm that kills books, series, and authors indiscriminately.

If Primal Love ends up just doing okay, then I can afford to take some more time. I still lament how badly I fumbled Raw.

Anyway, wish me luck.

The Misty Vixen Newsletter | July 2025

Well, this is awkward.

Here I expected to have my primaeval mono-romance if not in hand, then at least close to finish, and yet…I didn’t manage to write a single word for it yet again.

Sorry about that.

A combination of things hit me. The most significant being: I underestimated just how much I was pushing myself in May to get those numbers. That realization coincided with another realization that I had an opportunity to hang out with one of the ladies in my life, so I lost the first week of June to recovery. After that, I decided I wanted to be as focused as I could before starting the mono-romance, so I spent the rest of the month trying to clean up as many of my responsibilities and other projects as I could.

Let’s discuss what came out in June.

Managed to at least get some stuff out. I’m hoping July will be a bit closer to May.

Now, as for what’s coming up…

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE - EPISODE 07 is here!

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE - EPISODE 08 will begin Early Access later this week here!

  • DESPERATE LOVE - PART THREE will come out this month. It’s basically done right now. That’s part of what I was working on and I’m actually in the process of editing it right now.

  • Sometime this month, I will be releasing, for free, a secret project. Back in January I finally watched the live action Ghost in the Shell and it reminded me of an old, old story idea I had, way back in 2015. It was about a combat cyborg and her technician and sex between them. I never even got to the planning stages of it, but it lingered and I decided it would make a nice little mono-romance short. I wrote the first half of it, and then put it aside because January 2025 was one of the worst months of my life. Last month I figured it would make a great bonus short story for those heroes who give me 10$ a month on Patreon. Because it’s unique as compared to what I’ll be releasing in the future, I decided I should make an exception and release it for free after a month. So it will be posted sometime this month. Also, just so nobody gets their hopes up, it is a one-shot.

  • My Primeval Mono-Romance novel will at last take center stage, as, with the exception of two things I need to finish editing and a couple of shorts and DtRH 8, there’s nothing else that needs doing. I think I can finish it this month. In fact, I’m kind of confident I can. However, I no longer trust that confidence, so I’m going to say that it’s going to release in August. Regardless, it will (FOR REAL THIS TIME) begin posting in Early Access on my Patreon. I already have about a quarter of it written from last year, so once I actually sit down and start rereading what I wrote to refamiliarize myself with it, I’ll start posting.

  • I will be writing and posting at least one more After Dark short. Probably a really rough one with Ellen, as I have an idea. I might do another one if there’s time. I have another pretty rough idea for Lakeside Cougars involving Colleen and some mommy roleplay.

  • On the off chance that I do actually finish up my mono-romance, I’ll begin production of Our Own Way 6.

And that’s that. Into July we go.

The Misty Vixen Newsletter | June 2025

Oh boy, May was a VERY productive month. Technically, the most productive month of my entire life. Certainly of my career.

First, let’s discuss what was released.

Like I said, busy month! My previously held record was April 2021 at 126,000 words produced. In May, I managed to write 165,000 words. I had hoped for more, but I began petering out there during the last week, but I figure it’s good enough.

Inversely, while June is also going to be something of a busy month, I’ve been listening to the people in my life telling me I probably need to calm down a little and keep from burning myself out yet again. It’s been…rough, trying to hold back, because after a solid decade of always feeling behind, always feeling like I wasn’t doing enough because I was the one person who inhabited my own body and knew how much more I could be doing…it’s become kind of addictive, being able to just get up and write eight thousand words a day without that much of an issue. Despite that, I can already see a few of the early warning signs of burnout, so things are going to slow down a little next month.

Now, let’s talk about June.

  • DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE EPISODE 07 will begin early access within the next few days right here. Normally I’d already have something up, but I’ve decided Sundays are just off days, no writing, so I’ll get to work next week on it. I’m also going to post another MEANWHILE up there set between Episodes 05 & 06. I should’ve written it last month, but the idea didn’t really occur to me until just yesterday. It’ll be from Diane’s perspective.

  • MY PATREON. So, I kind of fucked up with regards to my Patreon. A while ago, I gave it a little makeover. One of the changes I made was 10$/month Tier. I did this mostly because I noticed there were enough people willingly donating 10$ a month, even though there was no tier, and I mostly wanted to provide something for them. Unfortunately, I proceeded to do a very shitty job. The concept was: bonus shorts written go up there. Unfortunately, I’ve kind of fallen off of bonus shorts in the past year, and I now realize why I was so shitty at producing this extra content now that I know about my ADHD. I tried to combat this by trying to change the nature of the bonus shorts. Initially I began writing some ‘from the harem’ perspective shorts, but I gave the first few away for free just because I was so excited about them, and then I’ve been posting those bonuses for the 3$/month Tier for Down the Rabbit Hole (the only other series to get these bonus shorts since the upgrade so far). And then I came up with After Dark, but…those bonus shorts are SPECIFICALLY things that Patreon has trouble with hosting, so those don’t work either. I’ve honestly been wrestling with this concept for a while, unsure of what to do. I was originally going to just take it down, because I don’t really like paywalling shit, especially not behind 10$ a month. But that seemed unfair to the people who have been and still are signed up to that Tier. I was also somewhat reluctant to begin pouring more effort into a project that’s going to benefit only a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of my fanbase (ALL RESPECT to the fans who are subscribed to that Tier, it’s just that a lifetime of being on the bad side of favoritism has left me with a sour dislike of it). Finally, this is what I’ve settled on: I’ll start producing new content in the form of bonus shorts that take place after the end of already finished series and posting them to the Tier, where they will stay for one month in exclusive early access. They will then move to the 3$/month Tier after one month. I’m not sure if I’ll end up making them free or not. The fact that they can never realistically be recorded and added to audio makes me less likely to try and publish them in any official capacity, and it would be nice to have at least one thing that’s truly exclusive the Patreon, if only because I feel like I should have something that’s a bonus specifically for people who sign up for the Patreon. It’ll take a bit of time to sort it out, but I’m hoping to be able to push out at minimum a new bonus short a month for this Tier. Hopefully this leaves people, if not happy, then satisfied. Sorry again for screwing it up.

  • DESPERATE LOVE. What’s this? Something brand new I haven’t talked about because it’s been in development for a little bit. For the past solid year at least, I’ve been blathering on about how I want to get into mono-romance. I decided to make my primeval mono-romance story my big splash, but I have been entertaining some toe-dipping and two of these projects are manifesting. One I can’t talk about yet, but this one I can. This is not what I’d call a big project. It’s to be coauthored with Lara X. Lust. It will be a trilogy of novellas set in the Desperate Times universe. It’s the story of a man finding a cabin to hide out in as the EMP apocalypse settles across the Earth. He discovers a woman who is sick and in need of help (though reluctant to accept it) already in the cabin. They begin a relationship as they start figuring out how to survive this new world. The novella covers are going to be of the same design as my Down the Rabbit Hole episodes, while the final omnibus will have a proper drawn cover. At the moment, we’re looking at release dates of June 7th, June 21st, and July 5th for each of the individual novellas, with August 5th being the final release date for the omnibus. All of them will have short pre-orders. The omnibus will feature two bonus shorts. I hope you guys enjoy it!

  • PRIMEVAL MONO-ROMANCE. Unfortunately, none of those 165,000 words written went to this project. Between Lakeside Cougars, Down the Rabbit Hole, wrapping up production of Dead Freeze 3, and working on a handful of other projects, specified and unspecified, it just didn’t happen. And, due to the fact that I’m going to have to force myself to slow down a little and I have a few other things yet to wrap up this month, I’m no longer sure if I’ll manage to get this project out before the end of June. I am very, very confident it will for sure be out in July, though. I’m kind of playing it by ear. I’ve got to fire up production of Down the Rabbit Hole Episode 07, finish up production of Desperate Love, try to get a good first bonus short up, and wrap up a few other unspecified projects. Due to how I work now, DtRH 07 can be worked on regularly alongside everything else, so I’ll basically want to wrap up everything but that before I touch the primeval project.

That’s basically it. DtRH Episode 07 begins production, Desperate Love will start releasing, at the very least my Primeval Mono-Romance project will begin posting to early access, and some bonus shorts will hopefully drop!
