A Brief History of Brian and the Yuletide Slay Ride Blurb
Here’s the blurb for Yuletide Slay Ride… It’s coming out HOPEFULLY next Wednesday (the 13th) but no later than the 20th. I’ll keep you posted!
“I turn slowly toward her, and that thin frail hope that I’d held onto… the hope that I could sate the demon raging within me and cool off my simmering rage by hacking up Gregor… that I could spare Mina my evil tonight… that hope is gone. What will I do when I catch this little rabbit?”
The events of Halloween haunt me. I can’t get them out of my head.
I wanted to remove Mina from this world. But it wasn’t me… I don’t want her gone. I’m not some crazed jealous abusive boyfriend. I wasn’t mad at her. I know she did nothing wrong.
It was the wild in me. The dark in me. It was the other, the something else that isn’t me, the broken shards of what I became so long ago.
The animal. The monster. That inhuman thing.
There is no saving me.
A Brief History of Brian…
Brian’s first appearance is in my 2010 book, Guilty Pleasures, the first book of the Pleasure House series. Originally I wrote him as a complete stereotypical/cardboard sort of horror movie villain.
Dark Romance wasn’t an actual subgenre yet. It was still early days, and I wanted readers to let themselves go and relax into the fantasy I was creating in Guilty Pleasures. So Brian acted as a foil to allow women to read this book and think the other trainers were amazingly wonderful and merciful and hot and sexy by comparison, whereas Brian was just a straight-up damaged psychopath. That was his role, and he did it well.
Soon after Guilty Pleasures came out though, Brian started nagging me for his own book. I was like “No, get away from me, you psycho! You are absolutely NEVER getting a book.”
But he stalked me for about 3 years and kept pleading his case. I held firm until he dropped some knowledge on me about his backstory. Talk about sympathy for the devil. Then I found his other half, Mina… and wow… she was just so broken in all the right ways, and her jagged edges fit into his jagged edges to make a perfect puzzle.
So then I was on board (With Brian smugly saying ‘I told you so’) and started writing Broken Dolls, the second book in the Pleasure House series. (Broken Dolls also works as a standalone. So if you want to get caught up with the Holiday Hits, start with that one. You don’t have to read Guilty Pleasures first.)
I started to get really excited about this book and started telling my readers about it. I said: “I’m giving Brian a book, you’ll love it!”
And the readers are like “Brian!?!?!” “Guilty Pleasures Brian?” “Ewww no, he’s terrible. He’s evil. I hate him. No way can you make me love Brian.”
And I was like… Challenge accepted. But what I actually said was… “Trust me, I’m going to make you want to have Brian’s babies.”
And they did. “I will never doubt you again, Kitty,” I believe was what some said. 
As the Pleasure House series progressed, Brian and Mina would make cameos, and due to a big thing that happened at the end of Broken Dolls, Mina starts to become more and more dark, mirroring Brian. Something inside her cracked open after the last straw bit of trauma she suffers (not at Brian’s hands). As a result, something releases inside her, and she ends up becoming a lot darker.
By the third book in the Pleasure House series, Surrender, Mina is going out on these hit jobs with Brian. And she’s basically completely changed. Her wardrobe becomes less “damaged flower” and more “Queen of the Damned.”
I kept wanting to give readers the backstory of how exactly she became that. And while Brian and Mina are obviously together, the way Broken Dolls ended, their HEA sort of happens “off camera” so to speak. I think they had a big moment at the end of Broken Dolls which was about as much emotion as Brian was capable of in that moment, but I always wanted to explore this whole thing with them further.
I had an idea percolating in the background for years about how I wanted to do a novella series for Brian and Mina and it would be these sort of hit jobs they go out and do together and basically how Mina becomes a badass and how the two of them find their complete and full HEA.
But that was all I had, the desire. I had no actual plot or structure or anything for any of it. Then in late 2021, The phrase “Brian and Mina’s Holiday Hits” popped into my head, and I thought it was hilarious, because I find strange things hilarious. You hear that and you think you’re about to listen to an album of Holiday songs, but no it’s these different hit jobs these two psychos go on during holidays.
I had wanted to get the Christmas one done in time for the holiday that year but there was NO inspiration. It’s like… hey thanks Writing Gods, get me all amped up about this and then… crickets.
And by the time Valentine’s Day rolled around, there was still nothing. But… Easter was a different matter. I had an idea and a whole story arc for the series by this point. And I began to get very clear on exactly WHY the stories had to happen in THIS order. Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day.
There’s a lot of symbolism and various important story elements that must happen at certain times. I didn’t know that at the time, it was only in partial hindsight that I started to see it.
Yuletide Slay Ride, the fourth installment, is coming VERY soon. And I’ve got the whole plot for the Valentine’s story and I’ve written the epilogue (Because I write shit out of order). It’s epic. You guys will LOVE it so much!
If you haven’t read this couple yet, you need to start with Broken Dolls. And here’s the page with all the books
Some readers have worried this series will “turn Brian too soft” but keep in mind that Twisted Fates in the Pleasure House series occurs in the timeline AFTER this entire series I’m writing right now. There’s some crossover with Surrender in The Massacre Ball and Yuletide Slay Ride, but Twisted Fates occurs years after the events of the Holiday Hits and Brian is still just as dark in Twisted Fates as he ever was.
Anyway, nobody wants a man who is dangerous to THEM. The entire appeal of Brian is that he’s so dark and terrifying but Mina is safe with him. She lives in a special bubble of protection from his darkness. And that’s really sort of the universal fantasy and the real reason women like bad boys. They don’t want to be hurt, they want to be the one who is spared because they’re just that special that he can rise above his inner beast for her.

Fated Mates box set now live
The full COMPLETE 6 book Fated Mates Series:
Book descriptions below buy links:
Buy Links:
Amazon US Amazon UK Amazon CA Amazon AU Barnes and Noble iBooks Google Play Kobo Smashwords Eden Books
BOOK 1 BLOOD LUST: (3 novellas that introduce the world. You can read this first or Book 2: Incubus Awakened first, but both should be read before the third book, Hunted)
The blood is everything…
Kept:
Cat shifter blood is sought after to enhance spells and potions, but due to a quirk of her birth, Greta’s blood is potent enough to kill for. When she learns she will be sacrificed, Greta is forced to ally herself with Dayne, the dangerous local sorcerer, and the only person strong enough to protect her.
Claimed:
Charlee wakes in a strange bed without any memory of who she is. All she knows is that a man who claims to be a doctor and is there to help her, doesn’t seem to want to let her go. And maybe this is just her imagination, but does he have fangs?
Mated:
Jane isn’t a vampire, but their blood runs through her veins, making her a target for those who resent a human being “kindred”. When she’s given to the leader of the werewolf pack to satisfy a gambling debt, she discovers her blood has a far greater impact on her destiny than she ever could have imagined.
BOOK 2: INCUBUS AWAKENED:
This title was previously published as Save My Soul.
All he’s asking for is her soul…
After buying the historic home she’s fantasized about since childhood, Anna Worthington discovers she isn’t alone. Luc, a dangerously seductive incubus, has been trapped by a curse for the last fifty years, and Anna is willing to do almost anything to get rid of her problem house guest.
All she has to do is resist him long enough to break the spell so they can go their separate ways. If she doesn’t, she could die. And that would be the best case scenario.
BOOK 3: HUNTED:
It started with one lost pup; it may end in a war…
Panthers don’t do responsibility. They don’t do long-term relationships. They definitely don’t raise kids. But when Z discovers a young wolf in the forest, he takes him in, unaware of the powerful beings hunting the pup.
Fiona is a witch who can’t leave her house; the birds have told her something bad will happen, and the birds are always right. The mailbox is as far as she’ll go, but even that may provide more danger than she’s bargained for.
When a wolf pup stumbles into her garden, her safe, wrapped-up world heads for a free fall. But along with danger, the pup brings a chance at love—a chance an agoraphobic witch and a bachelor panther aren’t likely to find on their own.
BOOK 4: BAD MAGIC:
Immortality can be a bitch…
Tamara has lived nearly two thousand years, trapped by a spell of her own creation. Hunted by her enemy and former lover, she knows there is only one man strong enough to release her from the curse. But will Cain honor her death wish, or keep her for himself, whatever the cost?
Two ancient souls. Two weary fighters torn between love and hate, forced to decide if the other could be worth living for.
BOOK 5: FORBIDDEN:
To see him again is forbidden…
Angeline knows Father Hadrian will never forgive her for their ugly history. Taking him from his calling and turning him into a monster… no one should forgive that. When the king of the vampires seeks vengeance for Hadrian’s recent betrayal, she’ll risk everything to protect the vampire she still loves.
But when Angeline agrees to give Hadrian her blood, all Heaven will break loose.
BOOK 6: CAGED MOON:
Can two souls trapped in separate cages ever find each other?
Twenty-six years have passed since the link between heaven and earth was severed and all hell broke loose. The fighting raged until the human magic users took over the cities, driving most of the preternaturals into hiding.
This is the world Syndey Burgess has grown up in, locked inside her father’s compound. As the daughter of a human mother and a vampire king, she has all the weaknesses of a vampire but none of their strengths. Anthony keeps her on a tight leash, ever vigilant against the constant imagined threats to her safety. But all she wants is to break free and start a real life.
Noah Riley has lived in captivity for the past twenty years, so long he barely knows how to be a werewolf anymore. Even with a photographic memory, most of his past before the facility feels fuzzy at best. His strongest memories are of the little girl he protected during his childhood: Sydney. When he reaches his full power on his twenty-eighth birth moon, he’ll have a chance to break free to find her and finally reunite with his family.
But vampires and werewolves are mortal enemies. Even if Sydney is Noah’s true mate, the vampire king would kill him before he ever let a filthy werewolf near her, especially one of questionable sanity.

A friendly reminder that it isn’t just George R.R. Martin who isn’t your Bitch
The other day I wrote the epilogue for the last novella in Brian and Mina’s Holiday Hits. I woke up with inspiration and OMG it is SO good. I’ve known the ending of this series (the Valentine’s book) since before I started writing The Easter Hunt, and few stories have lit me up the way Brian and Mina’s stories have. They’re fun, dark, sexy, and if you love Brian you’ll love it. And if you haven’t read Brian yet (Start with Broken Dolls), then you don’t know what you’re missing!
However, since you have to already be a Brian and Mina fan to read this novella side series, I know this won’t “make me all the money.” I’m writing this purely for the love of it, for me, and for the fans of Brian and Mina.
Also, just because I’ve written the epilogue to the series does NOT mean it’s done. I write out of order and I’m still writing Yuletide Slay Ride (the second to the last novella.) In fact, for Nanowrimo, I’m writing the last two novellas in the Brian and Mina series (or attempting to!)
Anyway I already knew the ending for the Valentine’s book but I didn’t know there was an epilogue, and you guys… I don’t think I have EVER HEA’d this hard in my life! I can’t wait to share this with you!
However… this morning… I woke up to a rather rude comment on my blog where I had shared that Blowing Things Up (book 2 in the Brian and Mina Holiday Hits series) was out on audio. This reader felt compelled to tell me that she’s sorry but she’s not excited for this and she wants me to finish writing Colin and Macy from The Sacrifice and to Hurry Up with it!
First, I don’t even know if there is going to be anymore Colin and Macy. Maybe my author’s note sounded like it was “definite” but I have said multiple times that I don’t know “for sure” if more is coming. No more has come to me. So take it up with my writing gods. At this point it’s not my monkeys or my circus, it’s up to the creative inspiring powers that be.
Many people who don’t write can be forgiven for not understanding the creative process, but really and truly authors, artists, musicians, we cannot just ‘pull things out of our ass.’ There is inspiration and excitement and magic. And it is not a linear thing, nor is it a thing I am 100% in control of. But even if it were… I’m not your bitch. And I say that with as much love and kindness as I can muster.
I’m not sure where the level of entitlement has come from where people think that because THEY want something and want it RIGHT NOW that this obligates and enslaves authors, artists, musicians, whoever into going to create that thing RIGHT NOW whether or not they are inspired to do so or want to do so.
And when it comes to those who would rather I give them more Colin and Macy instead of Brian and Mina, there is also a complete lack of appreciation for all the people waiting for more Brian and Mina. Last year I was in a difficult place emotionally and after The Easter Hunt I wasn’t sure if I was going to continue the series, even though I desperately wanted to from a creative perspective because it’s not exactly something new people can “just start reading”. They have to go and read a backlist book first to get caught up and THEN read it. And I knew I wasn’t going to ‘make all the money’ from it.
But I loved the story so much and was so inspired and I also knew there were a lot of readers who DID want it as much as I wanted to write it. So even if it couldn’t “break out” or “sell a ton of copies” I owed it to myself to finish this.
And so I am. NOTHING else is coming from me until Brian and Mina’s series is complete.
And after that, I’m writing something NEW that doesn’t require reader buy in to a backlist book, because I have to eat. And I can promise you, it doesn’t matter how much some people want more Colin and Macy, I KNOW beyond all doubt, that again, since people have to “buy in” to backlist, that it wouldn’t sell any better than the Brian and Mina side series.
So if there even is going to be anymore Colin and Macy it’s going to be a while. However when people push and put pressure on me and make demands, it makes it far less likely it will get written because I did not get in this business to be bossed around. I am here to create from my own heart and soul in partnership with whatever spiritual entity/energy/whatever (what people call “the muse”) and demands from individual readers just don’t factor into that. I’m sorry but they don’t. The people who love my books, don’t love them because I catered to demands. They love them because I have remained true and faithful to my creative process and my inspiring forces.
I can guarantee that the people who want more Brian and Mina want it just as fervently as the people who want more Colin and Macy. And it’s a nonsensical argument anyway because if you like one couple you’ll probably like the other. Brian is like the OG Colin so everything you like about Colin already existed and exists in Brian. So rather than stewing that you can’t have more Colin and Macy right now, it would make more sense to see if you like Brian and Mina because odds are GREAT that you would. Rather than trying to pressure an author to just drop everything for you and your demands (forgetting that other people want the other thing being created as much as you want your thing), it makes sense to see if there is something else or another couple from that author (or another author) that you could love just as much.
And if you feel offended by this that an author would DARE to have a personal opinion about the right to some personal space on her own blog in her own online space and in her own head to create what SHE wants to create and not worship at the whims of every drive-by demand, then you’re part of the problem. Read Neil Gaiman’s sage wisdom and understand that authors do not owe you their servitude.
For your convenience, here it is again.

August Corinth is a vampire cursed to kill and suffer the pain of his victims every night, until he can find the one soul who can resist his thrall and break the curse—his blood mate. He thought she was a myth, a fairy tale, but Nicolette Rose very much exists.

“Brian and Mina are THAT couple for me. I don’t care what they do, how they do it or why they do it. I’m going to be rooting for them EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.” – Morgan, Goodreads

It’s spooky season, and the stakes have gotten higher and just a little bit scarier.
