Sci-Fi Shared Universe - Volume 01

The first of my backlog collections is here!

This back collects:

• The Hellcats Trilogy + All 7 Previously Written Bonus Shorts + The Life, a brand new short written specifically for this collection.

• Exploration + 2 Previously Written Bonus Shorts

• Alien Harem 1 & 2 + 1 Previously Written Bonus Short

• Amazonian’s Love + 1 Previously Written Bonus Short + Meaning, a brand new short written specifically for this collection.

I originally thought I might be able to cram all of my stories from each universe into one collection per universe, but this turned out not to be true for my Sci-Fi Universe, even after removing Valkyries.

Everything has been reformatted and touched up a bit. Essentially, I made it more legible. I used to write in very large paragraphs, which I only learned rather recently, I am embarrassed to admit, look like walls of text on a Kindle. For whatever reason, that just never pinged my radar until last year. I also divided up the chapters, because I used to write WAY longer chapters. So for example, Hellcats now has 20+ chapters instead of 7. There were also a few minor corrections and edits here and there, but it’s pretty much the same as when it was earlier published.

Writing the new content was really weird, but in a good way. It strangely put me back in a mindset to liking writing the bonus shorts, and sort of reminded me why I wrote them in the first place.

I’m hoping that they don’t come off as too strange or jarring. I set The Life about 3 years after the end of Hellcats, and Meaning about 2 years after the end of Amazonian’s Love because writing for those characters again was somewhat bizarre. I tried to get the tone right, but at the same time I found myself wanting to make them different. I figured that, given enough time, they would have changed as people, so it would make sense.

Here’s hoping I was right.

If you were looking for a follow-up to Exploration or Alien Harem I apologize. I examined both of them and pretty much just had nothing. One of the problems with my older universes is that they began to feel a little redundant. Anything I might’ve felt like saying in either of those, it felt like I already said it with The Life. And I feel like the final short for each was ending enough.

Also, here’s the nude alternate version of the new cover art.

Anyway, the Fantasy Shared Universe is up next.

A Warm Place 7 Is Out & I Need A Break

So, A Warm Place 7 is finally out. Links below.

• KINDLE

• PAPERBACK

• NUDE COVER ART

I kinda feel like I’m losing my mind. My sleep schedule is really all over the place and I’ve been really stressed and anxious, and I’m kind of burned out on A Warm Place. I feel like I need some distance from it or I’m going to lose my shit or something.

So this is basically me saying that I’m going to be taking a break. I’m not going to touch A Warm Place for the rest of August. I will ideally feel better about it once September rolls around, but as it stands right now, I’m tentatively saying A Warm Place 8 will release in October. I’m hoping that this longer break will help, but I don’t intend for it to become regular.

This also feels like a decent place in the series to let things sort of settle in my head for awhile. While yeah, there’s still a looming threat, A Warm Place 7 did not end on a cliffhanger. I try to avoid those, but sometimes they’re inevitable.

I don’t plan on doing nothing though, in the meantime. I want to get out a few more Our Own Way novellas this month. Maybe I’ll finally get a little bit more work done on that Dragon Age fan fiction. Or maybe I’ll write an incest erotica. I’m really not sure yet beyond the work I want to do on Our Own Way. Right now I’m probably 2/3 done with the current title.

So yeah, I’ll see you again when I next get that one out.

Our Own Way & My Return To Serial Fiction

So, I have released the first title in a new series.

Get it here.

First question I imagine you’ll have is: What is this?

In short, it’s a serial harem that takes place on modern day Earth. All of the characters are human and there’s absolutely nothing paranormal, magical, or otherwise fantastical about the world or the people. Something I’ve never done before. The closest I’ve come is A Warm Place, but that’s post-apocalyptic.

The story chronicles an unlikely relationship that begins when Gabe, an aspiring author who is just beginning to take the first steps on his journey to (hopefully) make a living writing, is unexpected visited by Ellen, a former co-worker who he formed a strong, though brief, bond with last year, after she’s cheated on by her fiancée. Both realize that they really don’t have anyone else in their life they can turn to, and a sexual relationship quickly sparks. As they begin figuring out the relationship, as they’re both fairly different people, they ultimately decide they want to go their own way, build a life together, and they attract like-minded individuals.

From the technical side of things, I intend to release these stories pretty much as I write them, which ideally will be at shorter intervals. They’ll be in the KU, 2.99$, and they’ll average around 20-25,000 words. (I think this is somewhere between 50-80 Kindle Pages, but it’s basically impossible to know for sure). Unless there’s significant demand for it, there won’t be collections, but even if there are, there won’t be bonus content. The main reason for this is because I want to move away from the collections and just want to be able to write unconstrained and let a series be as long or as short as it needs to be. If I want, I can end on Book 7 or Book 13 or Book 22 for that matter. This is the first time I’ll truly be able to experience that, so I’m interested to see how it turns out.

Second question: Why?

I was thinking back to Parasexual last month and remembered that my favorite aspect of the series was the emotional connection that the characters had, as well as the trauma and difficulties they had to work through together. As much as I enjoy writing about fighting monsters and crazy survival situations, there is a part of me that wants to write about the more domestic side of things. The calmer things, the more real problems.

One theme that has been present in damn near everything I’ve written, even going back to the first Hellcats, is people wanting to go their own way. People sick of society’s stupid bullshit and unreasonable standards and arbitrary restrictions. People who want to build their own lives, away from all that. Who just want to be happy together. This has manifested in a number of ways, and honestly it’ll probably continue to do so.

It’s a theme that I find very appealing to write about.

A second reason that I’m doing this is a more practical one: it’s helping me keep my sanity. So, don’t get me wrong, I like A Warm Place. I like writing it and I like how much people are liking it. I intend to keep going until it’s done.

But I also want to write other things. And while I am still working on my caveman fantasy series in the background, I want to have a series that has a somewhat more rapid release cycle.

On top of that, this gives me a more unique opportunity. I don’t know if people may remember, but I’ve said more than once that I wish I could expand on some of my shorter works, like The Pale Redhead or Snakeskin.

Well, now, in a way, I can. These stories are quick and easy, not just in the release cycle, but in the actual narratives. Things can be lower stakes in these series, calmer, more fun. Instead of writing about a group of people trying to build a whole settlement, now I can write about a small group of lovers just trying to build a home.

Anyway, A Warm Place 7 is still on track, but now so is Our Own Way, and maybe another serial that has a similar premise, but is set in my fantasy universe and features a harem of monster girls. Remember when I used to write about those? I do, and I miss them and writing about weird monster girl sex.

Haven Is Complete

Wow.

I can’t believe that we’re here.

Although I can’t remember the exact day I began working on the series, I think it can be narrowed down to sometime during March 2019.

Haven can trace its roots all the way back to February 2016. Back then, my body of work was much smaller. I knew that I wanted to launch another universe, something that was post-apocalyptic. So I thought up an idea that would fulfill this notion, as well as what was then more strongly my brand of ‘regular human guy fucks hot inhuman women’.

What I came up with was the groundwork for what became the Post-Apocalyptic Universe.

I launched a pilot episode for a series called Homestead, but it didn’t do well and I didn’t feel good about it, so I took it down and let it stew for awhile. A long while, apparently. Finally, in July 2017, I launched what would be the first series in this new universe: Sex & Survival. Throughout that trilogy, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t a sustainable universe. Zombies and jerks with guns just weren’t an interesting enough consistent threat for a protagonist to face. After I wrapped up Sex & Survival in early 2018, I let it sit for awhile and focused on other things.

Then, an idea came to me, out of nowhere: what if the inhumans started turning into zombies, too? Much more dangerous zombies. That, combined with the fact that I really wanted to write some kind of winter survival story, meant that Haven was born.

Even when I first started writing it back then, I didn’t think it would be more than a trilogy. But after writing the first book, I began to get a notion that it was going to be bigger, and I should let it be bigger. A lot bigger. So I kept going.

Honestly, I definitely could have kept going. In a way, the last two titles, 8 & Epilogue, really make it feel like there’s more to come. But I think Haven needs to be allowed to rest. David and the others need to rest, and settle into their lives. Eventually, it will be time for someone else to pick up the mantle. And don’t worry, we’ll hear from David and the girls again before this is all over.

At present, I’m debating about what to do next for the Post-Apocalyptic Universe. Although I have three solid ideas, I’m debating about which should come next.

But as for what comes next for me, as a writer, right now? That’s A Warm Place. Also wrapping up Like A Fine Wine (if possible, as mentioned previously, it may take longer than anticipated due to circumstances beyond my control.)

I hope you enjoyed Haven! I had a lot of fun writing it.

Introducing Crystal Candy

So, I had a breakthrough near the beginning of the month, and it felt like a big one. As in, I broke through a mental dam, and a tsunami was released.

I’m going to start a second author pen name: Crystal Candy.

This was born of several different competing needs, and ideally will solve a few problems. It came in the shower, as cliched as that sounds. Like, just a bunch of different stuff coalesced in my head all at once, and it was like one of those cartoon light bulb moments.

It was a really exciting time.

So why am I doing this? Here are the reasons.

• Probably the biggest reasons is that there are difficulties that I am facing behind the scenes with my writing career. I don’t want to get too much into it, but let’s just say that I’m impeded in a way that’s difficult to fix. I’m currently working on a more permanent solution, but this, if it works, would really help take some of the pressure off.

• Money. February was brutal. Although March was definitely a good month, sales wise, April is again looking like it’s going to be brutal. I’d love to not give a shit about money, but honestly there are some things I feel kind of obligated to do, people to help in my life, not to mention paying my own bills, and every month that goes by where I’m not able to do some of those things, I feel guilty. This could help with that. Ideally a lot.

• Ideas. I have a lot of ideas. I’ve talked about them a lot before, but there’s even more that come to me that I tend to reject or, at the very least, put away for the time being, hoping to be able to find some way of working them in somehow. When I began to understand the potential and parameters of this second pen name, it released a cascade of ideas. Within ten minutes, I had a dozen unique series ideas jotted down. These are ideas that can’t really fit into my current model for Misty Vixen for one reason or another, but, free and independent of that, could work out well, I think.

• Freedom. One of the coolest aspects of how I’m going to handle this is that I’d be doing this 100% on my own. No one would be helping me at all. There was a brief window of time in 2017 where this was true. Where I was doing literally everything myself, and then I shifted back to relying on other people. And don’t get me wrong, I love being able to work with other people and am extremely grateful for the help they give me. It’s just that the freedom of being 100% in control of something is almost intoxicating.

• Cover art. Interestingly, probably the most minor reason being that I’ve been thinking for awhile now that I wish I could still somehow use my original cover art style. For any newcomers, all my covers used to have pink women silhouettes against a simple background, like stars if it was sci-fi, or a mountainous or forest landscape for fantasy, etc. I mean, it was basic, sure, but I actually worked hard to come up with that. It had to do several things: like be recognizable, convey what the genre was at a glance, be easy to mass produce, help build a brand, all that. So I figured it’d be perfect for this.

So, what can you expect from Crystal Candy?

Well, a few things will be different from my standard fare.

• In terms of quality and length, these stories will fall somewhere in between my older work (episodic shorts below 10,000 words), and my current works (60,000+ word novels). I don’t want to say these stories will necessarily be low effort, but they will be written at a brisker pace than my novels. I’ll be aiming for somewhere between 10,000 & 20,000 words per entry. However, there will be outliers. A few of my ideas will be on the lower end, more sex-heavy and less narrative-focused, and some of them will be the opposite.

• Structurally, I’ll be releasing triple-packs slightly reminiscent of my original packaging, and closer to what I’ve got going on nowadays for my re-released older titles. It’ll be a little more basic, in that there will not be bonus exclusive content, it will be a simple convenience package. Honestly, I doubt many people will feel like buying it and it’s really just there for people to support me, given I earn a bit more if you buy the whole package instead of the individual episodes. (Roughly 6.15$ if you bought 3 titles at 2.99$ apiece, vs. 6.95$ if you bought a single title at 9.99$.) I also won’t be releasing paperback versions unless for some reason there’s a demand for it, because honestly almost no one buys paperbacks even now. On a good month, I might sell a dozen paperbacks. Which, I mean again, honestly, if there’s some people who REALLY want them, I’d put them out, but I really just don’t think people are interested.

• As in the example above, price wise we’ll be looking at 2.99$ per title, 9.99$ per triple-pack.

• Everything will be enrolled in the Kindle Unlimited.

• Here’s probably the most important thing: Content. What will I be writing, and how will these stories differ? My primary focus will be harems, pretty much. That’s the big focus of this: harems. Given that this is closer to a marketing venture, I am making a somewhat more concerted effort to appeal more directly to that market. I’m making a few adjustments to the way I tell the stories and the way the characters interact. Don’t worry, I won’t be writing douche-bro alpha males or anything, but several people have advised me to have more decisive male leads, guys who take charge more and do more shit on their own. So that’s what I’m aiming for: more traditional harem protagonists. As for the plots themselves, well, that’s something else that’s going to be different. I mean, some will be pretty similar to the stuff I’m familiar with writing, but some will be really different.

Honestly, this is one of the reasons I’m so excited. I’ll be getting to write stuff without agonizing over it. More and more often, I’m finding myself getting caught up and stopped dead in my tracks because I’m afraid of screwing something up. Parasexual 3 took way too long to write because I kept worrying if I was going to fuck it all up. Same thing with Haven, a little. I actually wrote like a whole chapter before deleting everything and starting over. Now, that was the right move, as I’m a lot more happy with what I have now, but still, the point stands. With this, I feel a hell of a lot freer. I can take an idea and just fucking…GO! It’s liberating and exciting. One of the ideas I have is like a hardcore horror series that I’m really looking forward to, and I can finally dip my toe into a few genres without going like all-in. Like superhero stuff, or game-lit.

I honestly have no idea how this will turn out, but if it could even become a semi-stable secondary income stream, a nice outlet for my weirder ideas, and more content for fans, then that’d be pretty great.

I currently don’t have a release schedule yet. It’s more of me writing when I can alongside Haven. Basically, I’ll be putting out episodes as fast as I can in trilogies. When one is done, I’ll likely switch over to a second series, or if I’m super into what I’m currently writing, I’ll just keep pressing with the current series. I would deeply appreciate it if anyone would be willing to help me spread the word about this. Word-of-mouth is still some of the most powerful marketing. If you’re part of any erotica, harem, or game-lit groups on Facebook, I’d seriously appreciate help getting the word out. (Facebook wouldn’t let me join. I’m not joking.)

Right now, I’ve got one title out, with the sequel coming out very soon.

You can get it right now, right here, for 2.99$, or for free if you’ve got the Kindle Unlimited.

I’m also working on three other series right now. The first, and most primary, is a GameLit Sci-Fi story, it’s mostly action with a bit of horror. It’s called Planet of the Bugs. I have to admit, I’m afraid of this one, because it’s so totally different from anything else I’ve written. I’ve never even tried writing a story where someone is inside of a video game and that’s part of the story and acknowledged. I’m also writing something called Hot For Teacher, which is, you guessed it! About a dude fucking his former teachers, cause that’s awesome. That one will definitely be shorter and more fuck-focused. I also started writing When the Monsters Came, which is NOT a story about monsters jizzing all over hot chicks, believe it or not. That was just the best name I could come up with. It’s a dark horror about a guy and a few hot chicks trying to escape a city that suddenly becomes overrun with crazy ass monsters.

I’ve got a few other ideas I’ll probably start writing too, since I’m too excited about them.

So yeah, I hope you enjoy the new stuff, and I’m still getting regular work done on Haven. I’ve actually made good progress. And right now, I’m thinking that with this new schedule, I’ll be tackling one Misty Vixen book at a time. And also, that was something I wanted to touch on. If this stuff with Crystal Candy works out, and it takes the financial pressure off, it would actually be really good for Misty Vixen, because then I could write whatever the hell I wanted. So I could hop back onto Demoness V, which would be awesome.

Again, it’d be extremely appreciated if you could help spread the word around.

Demoness II Release & Other Updates

First and foremost, Demoness II is finally freaking out!

You can purchase it as an eBook for 4.99$ HERE.

You can also purchase it as a paperback for 9.99$ HERE.

It feels good to finally get this book out! It's just over TWICE the length of the original Demoness. As for what it's about, well, here's the synopsis: 

John Greenfield's life has changed forever.

After finding a wounded, unconscious demoness while out hunting one morning, he saved her life and learned much about her. Her name is Yelena and she is from another realm of existence. As they got to know each other, something that first grew out of intense passion and lust has transformed into something more: a powerful and deepening love.

Now, both have decided to cast off their former lives in search of a life together. But this will be difficult. As a demoness, Yelena is hated and reviled without thought by most of the people who occupy the land, and John along with her as a demon-lover. If they're going to do this, they will need something special, unique, and very rare: an amulet that will hide Yelena's true nature from the local populace.

But in order to get this, they will have to travel into the Emerald Wild, the most dangerous forest in the land, in order to earn enough coin to purchase such an artifact. The time has come to explore the untamed wilderness and each other...

CONTENT WARNING: This title contains adult situations, sex scenes, an interracial and open relationship, and a lot of hot human on inhuman action. You have been warned.

So have at it!

Also, the paperback version of Demoness is out now! It's 7.99$. You can get it HERE.

Now, the time has come to get to updates. There are a LOT of them. I've covered some of this in previous updates, but not everything. Basically, a LOT is going on right now in terms of what I'm planning on doing with my writing and ideas keep coming to me and getting reorganized and that's why there's so many update blog posts. I'm trying to kind of keep it all organized in my head and for the fans.

So with that, here we go!

Now, because I kind of ramble a bit, I'm going to post a straightforward, bullet-point list here now. If you like having more information, keep reading below that.

• I am updating almost ALL of my titles with new cover art that I designed and better formatting.

• This is resulting and will result in free titles not being free for a little while.

• I will be re-releasing Hellcats, Wanderlust, Alien Harem, and The Royal Trilogy (retitled Royal Lust) as novels. This will take some time, as I need to do some rewriting and brand new writing in some cases. These will be getting brand new covers featuring some hand-drawn art!

• I also intend to, eventually, replace almost all of my cover art with covers featuring hand-drawn characters.

• I'm going to try and get Amazon to push out an e-mail to allow people to get updated versions of some of my titles. (Demoness, My Undead Lover, Exploration, Misty Vixen Starter Pack.)

• I'm going to update my website and my blogger, especially my blogger, as I figure I should probably keep it around for awhile longer.

• Hellcats will be out April 11th!

• I've decided to finally release Women of the Wild #1, since it's done and I'm just sitting on it. First chapter will be up on Patreon very soon and it is slated for release April 18th in eBook, Kindle Unlimited, and paperback!

• Nude versions of Demoness II, Exploration, and Hellcats will be coming to Patreon soon, with more to follow in the future.

• I will be turning Exploration and My Undead Lover into trilogies. These will be non-exclusive and will be available through Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc.

• Starting sometime this month, I will begin posting PARASEXUAL, and once that first season is wrapped up, I'll begin writing HAVEN. And then bounce back and forth, releasing an episode roughly every four days.

• A few round-up random things: I'm going to be taking down the Quickies in June, making Large & Lovely free, I'm going to be posting most of the stories in Quickies to the site as free shorts for the fans, and try to write a few new ones. I'm debating about whether or not to publish these for the fans shorts or just leave them on the site as basic freebies. I'm also going to try and find some time to start doing some fan fiction. It's either going to be Mass Effect or Dragon Age, based on the poll. Not sure yet.

Now for some expanded intel.

Right now, I'm in the process of updating almost all of my older titles with new cover art, all of which is designed by me, (for better or for worse...), new formatting, and updated back matter. (Basically just the links to my other books and social media in the back.) This is taking like...a long time. I'm trying to power through it. So that's what's happening right now.

Small Side Note: As a result of updating older titles, stories that are supposed to be free are kicked back to costing money. It should be a simple process of getting them back to being free.

Once that's wrapped up, my next big kind of background project will be converting Hellcats, Wanderlust, Alien Harem, and The Royal Trilogy (retitled to Royal Lust), into novels. Hellcats and Alien Harem will be trilogies, although they will end at the same place as they have before, there will be a fair amount of new content in both of these. The same can be said for Wanderlust, which will have four novels. Royal Lust will basically be the same, so if you don't feel like buying it, you won't be missing out on anything. As soon as all those are up, I'm going to take a break before moving on to future titles.

I'm in the process of getting some characters from the older works drawn (clothed for the covers and nude for fun extras!) to serve as cover art for the re-releases.

Some of my titles that I'm updating will, hopefully, be given the option to re-download updated versions of them. I have to ask Amazon to do this. Basically, if they say yes, they'll send out an e-mail to everyone who owns the book and you'll get the new version. New versions will include any edits I've made since initial publication, a brand new cover, updated formatting, and a table of contents! These titles will include: Exploration, My Undead Lover, The Misty Vixen Starter Pack, & Demoness.

I've decided to keep my blogspot around and I'm going to TRY to give it a makeover. I want drop-down menus! Unfortunately, they don't have a built-in way to do this, so I'll need to fuck around with HTML to try and make it work. We'll see how this comes out. But I'm also going to do a bit of reorganizing on this site here because I had a few new ideas.

Hellcats is ready to go. I'm going to release it April 11th as an eBook, in the Kindle Unlimited, and as paperback! The eBook will be 2.99$, the paperback 9.99$.

Some of you may know that I finished writing a novel last year. It is the first in a long-running series that's almost like a novel series re-imagining of Wanderlust. It's called Women of the Wild. It features a dryad as the main female lead. Since it's written, edited, and basically ready to go, I suddenly kind of realized that I need to stop worrying so much about releasing stuff in order. So I'm just going to release it! It's coming out on April 18th as an eBook for 3.99$, also available on the Kindle Unlimited, and as a paperback for 9.99$.

I'm finally going to be updating my Patreon with actual content! The first chapter of Women of the Wild will be coming very soon and nude versions of the covers of Demoness II, Hellcats, and Exploration will be coming soon! I'm hoping to make this more regular. The nude pics will then come out one month after they are released on Patreon.

I'm going to be writing sequels to Exploration and My Undead Lover, turning them into trilogies. They'll all be available on Smashwords, Barnes & Nobles, Kobo, etc. There will also be a Complete Trilogy collection with a bonus short.

While all this is going on, my primary focus will be producing two brand new episodic series. The first, PARASEXUAL, is set in the Paranormal Erotica universe. I'm aiming for it to be four seasons. The second, HAVEN, is set in the Post Apocalyptic Erotica universe, and will be three seasons.

Quickies are coming down in June. I'm going to be posting most of the stories in it here to the website as basic freebies. I'm still debating as to whether or not I will be publishing any what I call 'for the fans' to the Kindle or Smashwords or anywhere beyond the website for a few reasons: they have some required reading to be fully enjoyed since they feature already established characters and rely on already established lore, and I'm also not too sure how interested people actually are in reading them, and writing/editing/formatting free shorts does take time away from writing other more official stuff. The final reason is that, for some reason, writing these shorts is actually hard for some reason, and not in any kind of good way. For whatever reason, the shorter the form, the harder it seems to get. Despite all this, I will be trying to get some more for the fans free shorts out featuring other characters.

I'm also kicking around a few ideas for other free shorts that can serve as entry points into my shared universes. I got a potentially good one just recently that takes place on Desire, so who knows? Maybe other cool ideas will show up.

Going to try and start getting to work on an erotic fan fiction soon. It's going to be either Mass Effect or Dragon Age, based off of the poll, which had them tied. Not sure which one it will be yet, but I've got at least a rough idea of what I want the stories to be for both of them.

And the last thing I can think of is that at some point, whenever I get a new cover drawn for Large & Lovely, I'm going to make it free.

So...yeah. A shitload of stuff going on behind the scenes right now!

I wanted to thank everyone who reads and reviews and shares and comments, basically everyone who is a fan and helps in any way. I really appreciate it! You all are a big help.

Be on the lookout for more updates and releases!
