WIP: Want To Do’s and Need To Do’s

Some weeks are about the practical side of writing and planning for upcoming projects.

So I finished the next dragons and I’m playing with some bonus chapters and random things for them, but I haven’t jumped head first into a new project yet…mostly because I need to figure out what I have to write next.

This is definitely a playing catch up week and that means to-do lists and getting my brain wrapped around what it wants to write next and what it needs to write next.

Those are generally two different things.

Right now, the plan is to jump between a want to write project and a need to write project until I get behind on the have to write project and that becomes my primary project.

Need to projects: The Secret Santa Daddy book for this year, bonus chapters, my Patreon story, and some more Christmas fun.

Need to planning: Planning more about the Monster Anthology release because I haven’t told you guys enough about that one yet, writing out ideas for the upcoming books I haven’t started writing yet, and planning for 2026 because Sage said I have to (and she’s generally always right about this kind of stuff).

Want to: My brain has started thinking about new series ideas and that’s a terrible idea, so I’m telling it no. I’ve got way too many random starts open on my computer, so I’m going to try to trim those down into practical ideas that need to be written so both lists match (I’m not holding my breath on that one.) A slightly strange story I started on Patreon about a guy who wants to adopt a little. It’s weirder than you think and my brain really likes this one.

Okay, off to work on the to-do list and hopefully get a few things planned out today because my head is very full and it’s distracting as hell. Wish me luck and let me know which of the upcoming projects you’re most excited about.

Monster Anthology with Bigfoot
Secret Santa Daddy for 2025
A Little Christmas
The Tender Control bonus
Dragons bonus

Yep, the to-do list just keeps growing.

Ready for More Dragon Shifters? – Pre-Order Culture and Curiosities Now!

My dragons are coming back!

This will have spoilers for the Blue Ridge Magic series, so if you’re not through with that one it’s time to catch up and then come back to this post if you like to live spoiler free.

You need to be up to date with the other books for this to really make sense.

Last warning…

Here we go…

I will be the first to admit that it took a while to get back to my dragons. I love these guys and everything about their world makes me laugh, but after Myths and Shifts I couldn’t figure out how everything should look.

Continue the main series?
Do a spin-off series?
Who gets to be in the series?
Who goes through the portal?
Do we go through the portal?
What happens if we go through the portal?

Some characters were more helpful than others when it came to chatting about what they were up to and what they wanted to happen, but it was still a ridiculous number of decisions that took me entirely too long to answer.

Squirrel brain and generally being indecisive about a lot of things is a terrible combination.

But my adorable dragons didn’t help the situation…Lorne just wanted to talk about his ereader (you’ll see what happens here) and Kenzie was worried about strange things and bookshelves (again…you’ll see what happens with this) and the diner men were just up to shenanigans.

But we finally got everything figured out and organized all the random pieces into a book…Culture and Curiosities.

This is going to be the first book in the spin-off series Blue Ridge Charm.

It’s Wren and Toman’s book, and I couldn’t wait to share more of it with you, so check out the blurb below! Click here to read the first full chapter.

Culture and Curiosities will be live on Amazon on September 26th and will be live for Early Access on September 21st.

I’m going to be introducing you to these guys soon, so check back to get to know my new cuties. If you like the way my tentacle aliens are always trying to understand their humans, I think you’re going to like how Toman tries to understand his mate…and everyone else in town because he’s never met anyone like them.

Culture and Curiosities by MA Innes - Placeholder Cover Gay Romance

Wren
Mates. Wren knows they just pop up when it’s completely unexpected, like at a party with clowns, crazy townspeople, and the cutest alien he’s ever met. Alien dragon? Mage? His mate is clearly not a local but that’s just going to make the adventure of a lifetime even more interesting. Besides, the only thing that matters is he’s a Daddy…right?

Toman
Mates. Toman knows mates are granted by the fates, but the last place he expected to find his was on another world where nothing quite makes sense. Team Binkie? Team Pony? His goals were planned out, but everything changes when his adorably confusing mate bounces into his life. Now he’s got a new list of things to learn, like what makes a Daddy and how do Earthlings fall in love.

When the mate bond strikes, two men must learn how to build a love that crosses cultures and bridges the stars.

Author’s Note: This is the first book in a new spinoff series. This takes place after the events in Blue Ridge Magic and is best read after the original series. You’re not going to understand why the old men are so funny if you don’t see the original chaos and you have to meet Deputy Talon the way he was meant to be seen, cussing about f-ing aliens and wondering what kind of crazy job he signed up for.

WIP Wednesday: Aliens, Dressing Up, and Chatty Dragons

First some random teasers…

I’ve been working on some shorts for the alien world and the human helper guy from the last alien book is the one who’s talking the loudest. So we’re getting to see lots of random bits about how he started his job and some of his favorite interactions with the humans and aliens around him.

“I want to climb him like a monkey.” The wide eyes were back but he kept going. “I want to do inappropriate things with him.”

Oh.

“He’s basically a stranger.” Shocked cutie’s eyes somehow got wider. “I don’t do that.”

Then it just got better.

“Does it count as him being male since he’s not human? In like…you know…the traditional sense?” Looking a bit like he was wondering about where the penis was hiding in a tentacle alien, the confused cutie’s frown got deeper. “I don’t want to be rude…but…but I thought I was straight.”

These shorts are going on Patreon for the time being (any paid tier gets access to these) but if you had things you wanted to see from our human helper cutie let me know.

—————

The guys from the Tender Control series are getting some bonus chapters so I’ve been poking at them…

“Am I dressed right?” Porter had dressed me in nice pants he kept calling slacks and a polo kind of shirt, but my host was in a Fifties dress with heels and everything…and I was pretty sure that meant I was underdressed.

Derek snickered, lowering his voice to a whisper to match mine. “Yes, you’re fine. Destin just wanted to look special for our dinner party.”

How the kinky people I’d met were the fanciest I’d ever met would never make sense.

—————

The dragons are rushing toward the finish at a frantic pace because everyone’s started talking at once and telling random things that they think have to make it into the book. So when you’re reading the next dragon book, Culture and Curiosities, and find something random just know that it’s the character’s fault not mine.

If it gives you a clue about how it’s going, right now I have a file labeled “missing chapters because I’m an idiot.”

And then there’s the guy that wants to adopt a little…yep…creatively it’s been a busy week and the interesting characters are just popping up right and left.

Please don’t ask about my to-do list…and one of you dropped the ball on helping me remember that I need to gather up all the half-started bonus chapters.

Okay, back to dragons and telling myself I’ll look at my to-do list later.

Conner Helps These Two Open Up – Weston and Cyrus are Now Live on Amazon and Free in Kindle Unlimited

Are you ready for some Beautiful Shame?

I love these books…I love all the dirty talk and the embarrassed cuties…and the ridiculously questionable decisions they make when they’re turned on and kind of stupid.

Weston and Cyrus are best friends who are both hiding something…so it’s Conner to the rescue to give them a push and to create just a bit of unintended chaos.

We’ve got…
Humiliation play (sweet, cute, and sexy)
Exhibitionism
Cutesy dirty talk
Spankings
Video voyeurism (Nanny cam and hidden camera)

Friends-to-lovers is so much fun because they already know so much about each other it makes the fuckery even better.

Have fun with these two and check out the first chapter if you want to dip your toe into this one first.

Weston and Cyrus by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book Cover - Beautiful Shame Series Book 6

Weston has a secret…one he hopes his best friend never finds out. He’s got a thing for humiliation and for his best friend. But since that’s hopeless, he’s decided to enlist the best know-it-all ever to help him find the right guy to live out his fantasies with…ones that involve being watched, used, and hopefully humiliated.

Unfortunately, sometimes things don’t go as planned at the Bound & Controlled club.

Cyrus has a secret…one he’s more than ready to get out into the open. He’s got a thing for his secretive best friend. Weston is hiding something and to get to the bottom of it he goes right to the top…Conner. If anyone can help him, it’s the biggest drama queen at Bound & Controlled.

Unfortunately, sometimes things don’t go as planned when dealing with a helpful drama queen.

Humiliation and Best Friends – Read Weston & Cyrus Today with Early Access

Are you ready for some naughty fun?

Beautiful Shame: Weston & Cyrus is up on preorder on Amazon and available here on early access…and they’re spicy…and best friends.

Weston & Cyrus is a friends-to-lovers romance in my Beautiful Shame series so this is high heat, has lots of dirty talk, and a sub who loves it when his Dom makes him squirm.

And because they’ve known each other for so long, Cyrus really knows how to get to Weston.

The timing has also given our slightly demi Dom Cyrus time to have his feelings grow but he hasn’t been able to make Weston realize that.

Conner to the rescue. (This doesn’t go quite as any of them planned.)

And if you need a longer peek so you can get to know these two, check out the first chapter.

Early Access for Beautiful Shame: Weston & Cyrus is now live through Thursday and the book will release on Amazon on Friday, August 29th.

Check out the blurb and cover below!

Unfortunately, sometimes things don’t go as planned when dealing with a helpful drama queen.

Author’s Note: This is a sweeter version of humiliation play. It is completely consensual and both main characters are enthusiastic about their desires. The heat level is higher than some of my other books, but it is very much a romance at heart. Each book in the series will be a standalone story. Please see my site for a full list of the content.

Story Contains: M/m friends-to-lovers romance, spanking, exhibitionism, in-person voyeurism, consensual humiliation play, restraints, video voyeurism, embarrassingly cutesy dirty talk, and BDSM relationship dynamics.

An Online Friends to Lovers Omegaverse – Eddie is Now Live on Amazon and Free in Kindle Unlimited

My omegas are back!

I love getting to play at the club and poking at all these guys. They have so much to talk about and there is always stuff going on.

Eddie and Shelby have been even more fun than average, though.

These two are…unique.

But those are my favorite kinds of characters because they see the world so differently and they get into so much mischief.

Eddie has what we’re going to call consensual stalking because Eddie is watching Shelby behind the scenes and helpfully steering him in the right direction. Don’t worry. Shelby appreciates his special helper and he’s hoping that his online friend will be just as helpful in real life when they end up at the club.

I love how frustrated Silas gets and how Austin finds their relationship fascinating.

So if you’re looking for something different and to get to know two unique cuties then check out Eddie. You don’t need to have read the Love and Secrets books to enjoy this one, but just know that the club is up and running and they’ve had a lot of fun adventures there so far.

Have fun with Eddie and Shelby. (you can find chapter 1 here if you want a preview)

Eddie by Shaw Montgomery - Gay Romance Cover

Shelby knows his special online helper just wants what’s best for him, but he’s not sure how to steer his, hopefully, not-imaginary friend in a more interesting direction. Helping him with his budget and his caffeine consumption is nice, but what he really wants is to figure out where all the Doms are hanging out.

Eddie just wants what’s best for Shelby…mostly because Shelby can’t seem to do that on his own. But when Shelby makes it clear he’s ready to date again after a string of disasters, Eddie has some decisions to make…help Shelby from the shadows like he has been for years or take their relationship to the real world…and the club.

Author’s Note: Eddie contains what is probably considered consensual stalking and an MC who is really hoping his online friend/helper isn’t AI or imaginary. It is a standalone story that takes place after the events of the main Romance and Revolutions storyline.
