Happy Solstice!

Today marks the slow return of the sun to warm us and nourish us yet again.

That is, if you don’t live in a mostly gloomy place that occasionally cosplays as Somewhere Nice.

Either way, I wish you and yours nothing but the best as the days grow longer.

A Clean Slate

Look. Let’s be real. It’s been since 2017 since this place got any action.

And before that, the action was . . . kinda cringe-worthy for me.

So to keep myself happy—and to have a place to blog things outside of the microblog crumbling under the weight of one man’s ego—I’ve scrubbed nearly everything from the blog. Consider this a fresh start.

This space will be for whatever weird hiccups my brain emits, as well as photos from my current projects and promotion for the various ways I make a ...

Unleash the Sexy Beasts!

It’s time. No, we’re not here to celebrate the incoming season. Sorry, fellow Fall Lovers. We’ll have that party later. When it isn’t 100* F on my back porch. In the shade. On an overcast day. I’m sooo not exaggerating. That’s been my week and it SUCKS when paired with smoke from the half-dozen fires ringing the Central Valley. But enough whining about weather.

We’re here  to reunite with those drop-dead-gorgeous demigods, the incubi.

Deryck, Wolfrik, Garik, and the gang have been on hiatus f...

Everything Kinda Sucks

Life typically comes at you fast. Some find it hard to adapt when Murphy’s Law takes over and rules the land for far too damn long. Others just keep swimming, despite the hell raining down around them.

Then 2017 happened.

People I’ve come to rely on as solid rocks in the stormy seas are crumbling. Others showed their true colors and were written off because no one has time to coddle Nazis or their sympathizers these days. Not while Republicans are literally trying to ensure the demise of mil...

The Vampires are Back in Town

Things on my end haven’t been exactly smooth lately. Numerous problems arose, putting pretty much all of my books on the back burner. Except the shitty one. Of course. Because that’s how my life has rolled from the get-go.

[image error]Life is like a murderous not-clown-thing.

Starting last week, that’s changing. I’m in the process of re-editing In Too Deep. As I go, I’ll drop a couple chapters over on my Patreon page. Chapters one through four are already live on the website, with the next two chapters s...

Oh, What the Hell

There’s something bizarre in having someone tell you point-blank that your personal choices means you’re morally corrupt and unable to perform a job. A job which you’ve done countless times before without incident.

It’s no secret that I’m a writer and editor. My writing is, well, bloody. There’s sex. There’s profanity. There’s a shit ton of questionable behavior from fictional people on my page. The key word there is fictional. I’m certainly not traipsing around the globe impregnating women w...

Kicking My Ass In Gear

Life’s been shit. Anyone within the bubble of my reality has known this for a few years now. For me, the depth of the excrement around me wasn’t truly clear until Christmas vacation. And my extended vacation. And then the extra week I took off because there was no point attempting anything creative when the family wouldn’t allow me to focus. Not to mention the world losing Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds—women who’ve been life-long compass points when it comes to realigning my fucked up wor...

It’s Not Just in My Head

This was originally going to be an episode forProfessional Bitching, but seeing as Santa hasn’t brought my new microphone yet, and this is bound to be incredibly painful emotionally, I’ve opted to scribble until my fingers cramp. Because, maybe then I’ll feel vindicated in some tiny, insignificant way.

Something’s gotta give before I check myself into a mental care facility, and it’s getting to that point.

First, a little history. When I was 20, I met this guy who seemed weird, but he paid at...

Drakkar, at Last!

Drakkar Dragoni, the only son of Princess Absinthe Dragoni, always believed what his mother told him. Humans were nothing more than cattle, raised to nourish their kind and her half brother, Jared Bonatelli, stole from her a kingdom that was rightfully hers. He...
