I have been wanting to dive further into the written work of my peers for some time. Throughout the last year or two I have enjoyed the snippets and working together to problem shoot writing with them, so it's time I indulge in the fruits of their hardwork and devotion. Among them, Laura Perez, Ross Ellison, Sammy HK Smith, Hazel Butler, Sophie Tallis, Jeremy Rodden, and many more!

Another To-Read this summer are the submissions for the upcoming Anthology, Demonis Wildlife: A Fantastical Funny Adventure! Look forward to seeing this in October for a funny and scary read about animals we encounter!(less)

King Incubus: A New Reign - Chapter 1 & 2

The ringer on Tony’s phone sent it vibrating across the nightstand. The phone danced and buzzed angrily to get his attention. He cracked an eye. Just an alarm. Over a month had passed, but Lillith hadn’t been back since the night they… I can still taste her, feel her orgasm lingering from where I felt it at my core. Tony sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes with the palms of his hands. His body Read more of this blog post »

Valerie Willis In celebration of releasing my first novel last October, and in spirit of Halloween, I have dropped the Kindle version of Cedric the Demonic Knight to 99 Cents!

Be sure to share the news and get ready to snuggle up with Cedric and his story. Werewolves, Hellhounds, Incubus and Succubus, Vampires, and Witches are only some of the list of opponents and acquaintances you will experience in this Medieval Tale.

Find Cedric the Demonic Knight here on Amazon.com:
