We’re wrapping up the current book, Watching Me, and getting ready to start a new book. Watching Me is about an adorable Peeping Tom who ends up in a very curious Netflix-and-Chill type of relationship with the man in the next building.
It’s a date if you watch movies together and there’s a happy ending involved, right? It doesn’t matter if they’re not in the same room.
This has been so much fun and they got up to so many wonderfully naughty things, but all sexy stories must come to and end, and it’s time to jump into a new story. Tiers 1 and 2 will be able to read all the chapters posted on Patreon and Tier 3 will get an edited ePub as soon as it’s finished! There’s currently 2 chapters left to be posted in Watching Me so head over to catch up, you can even read Chapter 1 for free (no membership required).
We’re bouncing around a few ideas, one involving a naughty cutie who’s decided to find himself a Sugar Daddy, lol. But we’re (me and the Patreon members) are talking about a story that’s roommates-to-lovers, too.
So if you have an idea for a new story or you’ve been waiting to test drive Patreon and see what you think, now is the time to come join us and see what we’re up to over there.
When I first started working on Klynn and our grumpy human agent’s book, I had no idea where to start. They both just kept shrugging at me, which isn’t surprising considering how little they like sharing with anyone else. So I poked at them by doing some alternate point of view scenes to get them to start talking.
That got us moving in the right direction but wasn’t the lightning strike of inspiration I was hoping for. (They really are pains in the ass to everyone but each other.) But it did give me a few bonuses I could share with you guys.
The first one is when Klynn meets Wren for the first time and it’s from Wren’s POV.
As long as you’ve read Culture and Curiosities then this won’t have spoilers at all and I think it’s fun to show you what Klynn was thinking when he met Wren for the first time.
Now if you haven’t ready book one in the Blue Ridge Charm series then this is your reminder to get caught up and go grab that one before Tropes and Tenderness arrives on the 23rd. So head over to Patreon if you’re curious to get a peek at what Klynn is like.
Grumpy is supposed to meet sunshine…that’s how the trope works.
Every reader knows that.
Klynn knows that.
Agent Murphy knows that.
It seems like no one told the mate bond that.
This was the temporary blurb and basically all I knew about their story when I put the preorder up for the next dragon book, Tropes and Tenderness.
We’ve got Klynn…a grumpy reader who isn’t going to talk about diner nonsense.
Then we’ve got Agent Murphy…a grumpy G-man who’s not going to talk about diner nonsense.
But poking at these guys didn’t get much to begin with, so I worked on bonus chapters and alt-POV chapters and ended up with a lot of random things before I figured out where our grumpy agent wanted to start.
His work.
Okay.
So this is how Tropes and Tenderness starts…
“You’re human, right?”
Screaming at him never helped.
Screaming at him never helped.
Screaming at him never helped.
“Have I started glowing in meetings?”
I’m starting to understand why he’s so nuts and I can’t wait to share it with you. But for now, here’s the full blurb and this is the reminder that you need to start your dragon reread before Klynn and Agent Murphy get here on January 23rd.
Humans. Klynn knows that humans come in a variety of shapes, colors, and personalities. What he isn’t expecting is to find a human mate. A stern mate who glares and doesn’t talk about diner nonsense or mate business in public. He’s perfect. The only problem? How to tell his mate that he’s Klynn’s mate.
Agent Murphy
Aliens. Agent Murphy knows aliens—dragons especially—come in all shapes, colors, and personalities. What he isn’t expecting is to find one rational, perfect man in a sea of ridiculousness and inappropriate questions. Klynn is private, serious, and not into talking about diner nonsense. The only problem? How to figure out what kind of diner nonsense his boy is actually into.
When a passionate reader finds the main character of his dreams, two unconventional men will write a story that bridges the stars.
I started working on this plan months ago and you don’t want to know how many times it got revised and tweaked. I’ve tinkered with it so many times I’ve driven myself and Sage (best PA ever) absolutely nuts.
I think we both started wincing every time and email with a heading of 2026 Plans popped up in our inboxes.
But we’ve got a plan and I’m hoping to stick with it for at least a month before I start tinkering again. (I’ll blame it on the people in my head…don’t worry about me taking the blame for any shenanigans.)
So what’s coming up?
Dragons, monsters, a sexy new doll, and werewolves to start.
Right now the plan is…
January: We’ve got dragons (Tropes and Tenderness which is already up on preorder on my website and Amazon.)
February: A slower month with vague plans for a taboo book, publishing on my website store and Smashwords.
So yeah…I might’ve started a few things out of order already. I’ve been hard at work on the dragons and some bonus fun and the werewolves and I’ve got random notes on a lot more like our New Neighbors aliens…a book with an older little…and a fun MMM story that’s still evolving. (And for Aubrey and Lincoln…I haven’t forgotten them and I’ve added new words to their story.)
The further out the year goes the less concrete everything becomes except for a surprise in August that I can’t tell you about yet (rules suck…I love to tease) and some Dirty Daddy fun later in the year. So we’ll see what else pops up, but if there’s something you would love to see or characters that you think need their own book in 2026, you have to let me know by commenting here on the site or by replying to my newsletter or finding me on social media.
I love hearing from you guys even if the characters don’t cooperate.
Oh, and we’re going to use this as a reminder to start your reread of the dragons before Tropes and Tenderness comes out in January.
In 2024, I ran a series called ‘Past Pages’ in my reader group. Each month, I’d spotlight past books published during that month – sharing writing secrets, character insights, and the stories behind them. I even opened the floor for questions and comments. This year, I’m bringing ‘Past Pages’ to my blog! Feel free to join the conversation, whether you participated last year, or not. I’m excited to revisit these books with you!
—————
December – 13 total books have been published in December since 2016! Below is the full list by year, click on each title to check out it’s full blurb, keywords, tags, preview the first chapter, and links to purchase. In 2024, I added 2 books to this list!
Let’s take a closer look at 3 of the titles released in the past.
Christopher and Ethan
The fantasy was supposed to be anonymous.
This is the first line in Christopher and Ethan’s book, and Ethan is surprised to hear a fantasy about him being read in his human sexuality class. The assignment was to anonymously write a fantasy and I had to do this assignment in this class in college.
Thankfully my situation didn’t turn out nearly as interestingly as Christopher’s confession did but it was a very strange experience to hear your fantasy read out loud. I’m just going to say some people have a better poker face than others and at that point I had a really good one.
But I always knew that idea had to show up in book somewhere because it’s a situation that could’ve gone very wrong.
I love the Beautiful Shame books because they’re so much fun to write. Blushing subs are almost as much fun to write as drunk subs.
And I really liked how this book connected to The Only Way to Live and we get to see more of that part of the college universe.
Answer in the comments: Have you read Christopher and Ethan’s book? What’s your favorite part of the Beautiful Shame series? Any ideas about what you want to see next in that series?
Do you have any questions for me about Christopher and Ethan?

Jonah
My omegas!
I love asking what if questions to the people in my head. What if someone did this in a scene? What if someone liked this kink? What if someone liked this kind of person?
My omegas have given me a lot of fun answers to my random questions but this one especially because Russ and Graham are two alphas looking for a third.
I love seeing how people act and live when they love someone they shouldn’t. I think people are fascinating creatures and its so much fun poking at them. (Mostly because for some reason real people don’t like it when you’re nosy.)
But my characters don’t mind even though some are more open than others. Even between Russ and Graham there were big differences between how open they were. I love characters who surprise me. And I love it when characters like Jonah get everything they’ve ever wanted.
So who is your favorite omega? Russ and Graham have a great house for drunk shenanigans so I think we might need to have the omegas go hang out at their pool again lol what do you think? What bonus scenes do you think we still need to have for them?
Answer in the comments: Do you have any questions for me about Jonah?
This year feels like it’s been a thousand years long.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had a lot of fun this year, wrote a lot of books that I love, and survived the first half of my son’s senior year in college, but it feels like I wrote Experiments in Love a thousand years ago instead of January.
My naughty boys from Becoming His…yep…same feeling.
How has it only been months since my drama llama of a ghost told us his story?
The creative side of me loves the reminders about all the ridiculous characters we met like Dally from Their Little Helper causing chaos everywhere he goes or Kennedy from Experiments in Love trying to decide why tops think bigger is better. (He knows size matters but not in the way that people think. lol)
Then we’ve had dragon shenanigans and our newest omegaverse stalker…and then we had Bigfoot and Christmas…and that doesn’t even begin to touch on the bonus chapters and Patreon goodies.
It’s been a packed year no matter how long it actually was. I hope you’ve had fun this year with all the new books and I can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.
In the comments, share which book of mine was your favorite this year!
