WIP Wednesday: Omegaverse, Bigfoot, and Getting Distracted

Every year I forget how distracting my kids are in the summer and this year I’m actually getting words in but I’m losing track of what day it is.

But like I’ve said I’ve gotten words in and I’ve done a pretty good job of managing that part of my author life. (It’s the rest that I’m having to work on.)

So what has Shaw been doing?

I’ve finished Dally’s book, so now I just need to do all the other important bits like the cover…and figuring out who should go on the cover. Yes, I’m still calling it Dally’s book but I’m not sure the title will revolve around him so I think I need to look for Harley for the cover (the little).

But our sexy lawyer Santos might be easier to find.

Ugh. Covers are so hard.

What else have I done, though?

I’ve made really good progress on Eddie’s book (Eddie the Hacker in the omegaverse) and that will be ready as soon as I figure out the cover and edits and a few important bits like that. But if you want to refresh yourself with that world, reading the Romance & Revolutions books is probably the best plan.

Because we’ve also got an omegaverse story in the Dirty Daddies Pride anthology coming out on Friday. Yay.

I admittedly have gotten behind on the Patreon story, so if you’re waiting for that I’m very sorry and have been working on it today.

What else have I been doing?

Writing about Bigfoot for the Dirty Daddies Monster Anthology coming out this fall. These two are interesting and starting off very…logically. It’s kind of odd but they seem to need to get the practical things out of the way before they can relax…especially our new little.

Bigfoot is going to be a fun Daddy.

Okay, off to work on Watching Me (Patreon) and possibly a bonus if inspiration strikes. So let me know if there’s a bonus short or chapter you’re hoping to see.

Supportive Mothers, Writing What I Knew, Shy Characters, and A Loud Character (June Past Pages)

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!

—————

June- 14 total books have been published in June 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 3 books to this list!

Let’s take a closer look at 4 of the titles released in the past.

His Missing Pieces

Just before I started writing this I remember having a conversation with someone about how there weren’t enough positive mothers in mm books. (If this was you then thank you but I can’t remember who this conversation was with.)

I loved the idea of having a positive mother figure but I could see how that would be traumatizing in its own way and funny in others. Once I figured out that point it was time to figure out who this wonderfully frustrating woman was going to torment.

Bryan.

He really is fun to fuck with so I can’t blame her.

I love these guys and I have from the very beginning, but when I started writing this book this was the longest amount of time I spent writing about any characters. Three books felt crazy and then the fourth was just waiting in the wings because I couldn’t wrap it all up in a trilogy lol.

Now that doesn’t sound nuts at all but back then it felt like I was writing about them forever.

Have you read about these guys? They started here but since then have been popping up in the Loving series (the Too Close books). Bryan’s grown a lot since this first book.

Answer in the comments: What are your favorite parts of their story or this series? Any standout moments that just make you laugh? Do you have any questions for me about His Missing Pieces?

—————

Garrett

I remember exactly where I was when I figured out what this series was going to be about. I was driving to my daytime job at the time and I knew I had time to write a series of novellas. But that left me figuring out all the rest of the details lol.

As I drove through the tiny tiny town I was living in at the time I drove past an insurance office and I realized that I wanted to write a series about something I knew really well. Insurance. (At one point I was licensed to sell insurance in almost every state…car, home, life, and more.)

Once I got to that point, everything else fell into place and I spent the rest of the drive (sooo sooo long) talking into the memo app on my phone and talking about what the series was going to be about.

I never imagined that people would be reading this series years later or that it would still be getting recommended so many years later. You guys are amazing and I really appreciate how much you love this series and just how you recommend my books in general. That’s actually one of the best things you can do to help your favorite authors.

Now, I wrote this series based around a career that I knew well but what other careers do you think a family series could be about? These guys are fabulously close and their family leans toward oversharing, but what kind of families would you like reading about?

Answer in the comments: Do you have any questions for me about Garrett?

—————

Unexpected

I love shy characters and scenes that are slightly unexpected and this book has so many things that I love.

I love that Ryland’s so shy and loves burying his head in the sand.

I love the first grocery store scene and how Holden overhears his ridiculous logic.

I love the teddy bear scene because it’s just so sweet and Ryland’s trying to open up.

This whole series was fun to write but Unexpected is one of my favorite books. Ryland is an adorable ostrich and just hides from anything and everything he doesn’t want to confront and he’s got a great best friend, Finn.

Have you read Unexpected?

Answer in the comments: What was your favorite scene? What are your favorite ways for the main characters to meet each other? Do you have any questions for me about Unexpected?

—————

An Atypical Love

Oh, these guys are just so sweet.

Sometimes characters just stand up and say hi then do something interesting…like say they’re confused or that they need something different in a relationship.

Dayton (the sub in the book) was one of those characters. He just stood up and started explaining everything he couldn’t do because his pain tolerance isn’t the same as most people, and since that seems to be the only thing anyone has focused on it’s kind of ruining his dating life (It’s really the only thing the Doms at B&C have focused on, so he’s frustrated.).

So after I poked at random ideas, I turned to Conner and asked him what he thought and Conner to the rescue. (That’s always scary.) I love any excuse to go to the B&C club and to see what mischief Conner is getting up to because as one of the owners of the B&C club, he knows the most interesting people and always loves to chat.

This time he started introducing me to a Dom that he knows who’s had terrible luck with dates and subs in general. Somehow people don’t always understand what being asexual means or how to accept his limits. Luckily for him, he didn’t have that problem with Dayton.

Answer in the comments:
What did you think of the shibari in this book and the different kinds of scenes? Do you have any ideas for characters who would be a little more unique? Do you have any questions for me about An Atypical Love?

Blue Ridge Magic: Bonus Shorts Collection – Available in the Freebie Bonus Library for Newsletter Subscribers

My dragons!

I’ve got something fun for newsletter subscribers and I want to make sure everyone sees this. There is a bonus library of shorts for newsletter subscribers (some that have originally popped up in random places), and I add to it on a semi-regular basis (when Sage reminds me too lol).

I’ve recently added a shorts collection, Blue Ridge Magic: Bonus Shorts Collection, that has four shorts that take place in the Blue Ridge Magic world! Some of the stories started out free on Patreon and one is a completely new one (Lorne’s Arrest).

Blue Ridge Magic: Bonus Shorts Collection Contains:

-Friends and Flying (Secrets and Kisses bonus)
-Lorne’s Arrest (Sparkles and Scowls bonus)
-Cruise Night (Wishes and Research bonus)
-Daddies to the Rescue (Wishes and Research bonus)

These are not standalone stories. These are newly edited bonus chapters and shorts that only make sense after you’ve read the original books in the series. Let’s face it, without knowing how interesting Lorne is you’re not going to understand why Sage was so excited to see him getting arrested.

The newsletter bonus library also has other fun bonuses from a variety of series and books. Everything from The BBQ Short, The BRM prequel, 2 stand-alone stories, bonuses from Austin, Archer, Kenton, and more! Here’s a graphic showing everything in the Freebie Library.

There are now 18 items in the Freebie Bonus Library. So if you want to get some freebies from my college cuties or with Kevin and the gang, check it out.

And just to reinforce the obvious, signing up for the newsletter gets you weekly-ish emails with extra behind the scenes info on what’s coming up and you get longer teasers about upcoming books, so I hope you’ll join us there if you haven’t already.

The Blue Ridge Magic Shorts Collection contains four bonus chapters/shorts to show you what other
ridiculousness our favorite dragons have gotten up to.

These are not standalone stories and you need to
have read the books in the main Blue Ridge Magic series for these to make sense.

-Friends and Flying (Secrets and Kisses bonus)
-Lorne’s Arrest (Sparkles and Scowls bonus)
-Cruise Night (Wishes and Research bonus)
-Daddies to the Rescue (Wishes and Research bonus)

A First Trip to The Club For These Omegaverse Cuties – Pre-Order Dirty Daddies Pride 2025

Ready to head back to see what Austin and the gang are up to?

My book for the Dirty Daddies Pride Anthology this year is Beautiful and it’s about two new cuties in my omegaverse world who are going to the club for the first time.

Not stressful at all…nope…neither of them are worried at all.

That they haven’t been dating long and that neither of them has much first-hand experience with BDSM isn’t stressful either.

Oh, and the fact that Austin is going to be the one showing them around doesn’t make them nervous.

But when both of them have to admit they need help figuring out what kind of relationship they’re trying to create and how to explain who they are, they might actually need his help.

Here’s the start of the book…

“You’re questioning whether this is a good idea too, right? It’s not just me?” I was really hoping it wasn’t just me since I was technically the Dom in our still slightly new relationship…and even in our slightly screwed up society, alphas weren’t supposed to be this unsure of things.

Collin snickered, nodding as he set his phone on his lap and leaned back in the passenger seat. “Oh yeah. That’s kind of why I haven’t been able to get out of the car.”

Well, at least I hadn’t been reading the signals wrong.

“You mean you haven’t needed to tie your shoes three times and you really didn’t need to complete those last two levels in your game?” He was kind of passionate about the game, probably because of his love of everything online, but it’d seemed excessive, even for him.

Yep, there was definitely a bit of guilt on his face.

“Um, well, technically there was that bonus thing where I got the extra levels, so that wasn’t a lie. It was just rude and probably ridiculous?” He shrugged like he wasn’t sure how much he was supposed to apologize.

But it was a familiar enough expression that it had me trying not to smile. Collin was the cutest omega I’d ever met but also the most easily distracted by online searches and games. He was some kind of computer genius which probably explained a lot…but his vague explanations about what he actually did for a living had not filled in nearly enough gaps.

Dating someone new was always hard, though, so I’d given myself six more months to figure out if he was some kind of white hat hacker or weird impulsive genius who day traded stocks and didn’t want to admit it.

The Pride Anthology goes live on June 27th (in KU) and it’s on sale for $3.99 while it’s on preorder. Oh, and I’m going to be in the Monster Anthology in October so keep an eye out for more teasing about that one too.
Check out the first chapter of my story if you want a peek before you jump in.

Dirty Daddies Pride 2025 Anthology - Book Cover

Buy on Amazon

Morris is struggling. He knows he is meant to be Collin’s Dom but he’s realistic about his lack of knowledge when it comes to anything in the lifestyle. Understanding safety and where to spank isn’t going to help him figure out the best way to handle his adorably distracted new boyfriend. So it looks like a trip to the club is his only option. Right?

Collin is struggling. With a new boyfriend and desires he can’t quite explain, he’s not sure what to do besides bury his head in the sand…and in his favorite games and apps. Unfortunately, while Morris doesn’t seem to mind that he’s not the most grown-up omega out there, Collin knows he’s going to have to work on being a bit more grown-up if he wants to submit. Right?

When a new relationship leaves two men with more questions than answers, it’ll take new friends and a new adventure to help them see that being a grown-up isn’t always the goal.

Author’s Note: This is a standalone age play story in my Love and Secrets series. It contains alpha/omega dynamics and BDSM but no mpreg.

About Dirty Daddies Pride 2025

There’s more than one way to be a Daddy…

Whether it’s a Daddy claiming his boy or her girl or their little one, these Daddies know that love doesn’t always look one specific way. And that regardless of what the world may think, everyone deserves the Daddy of their dreams.

Deserves to be spanked and spoiled just like any other little one dreaming of a Daddy.

And that something like gender or identity should never get in the way of finding the love of a lifetime…

Kevin and a Fire Filled Science Experiment – A Bonus Text Convo

Inspiration for books comes in a variety of ways like songs and random things people around me say. But most of the inspiration for bonus shorts and text conversations like this usually come from different places. And the inspiration for the different groups of friends come from different places too.

The dragons like the games on my phone. They have crazy opinions and thoughts on what’s going on in the games and it’s a constant odd stream of random comments.

But Kevin and the gang love memes and silly things that get posted in the Facebook group where you guys to “Look at this. Kevin would love it.” Yep. He does.

This is one of those pictures that got posted in the group and I just had to show you what the guys thought about it.

So if you’ve already enjoyed Too Close to Ignore and need another fix check out the text conversation below or some of the other fun stuff over on Patreon.

Plain text version of texts is shown below each image.

Kevin: What do you think about this?
Kevin:

Cody: Oh…I’m not supposed to design experiments that deal with fire. I didn’t do it but some people aren’t careful.
Bryan: That’s pretty.

Cody: You were supposed to tell him no. That’s your job. Then that would’ve meant you’d told me no so I couldn’t get in trouble.
Bryan: Sorry.
Cody: That wasn’t believable at all.
Bryan: I’ll try again? I’m sorry I wasn’t the logical person in this situation.
Cody: Thank you.
Kevin: I didn’t say you were designing an experiment. Someone else already did that. I was just very skeptical about it and I think we need to double check their results.
Cody: Well…at first glance I think it could’ve gone further.

Kevin: See! I knew it.
Bryan: Can you get in trouble if you’re just checking someone else’s results…it’s like checking their homework right?
Cody: Um, Daddy said I can’t trust either of your logic.
Kevin: I’ll get someone like Hayden to explain it to you. Would that help?
Cody: Yes. Thank you. That will work as long as he doesn’t tell his Daddy. That’s one Daddy that can hold a grudge.
Kevin: No one was hurt and the cops weren’t mad. I don’t know why he can’t let it go.

Bryan: Because he knows we make spectacularly bad decisions when left unsupervised?
Cody: Yes. Unfortunately.
Kevin: It’s for science. It’s educational.
Cody: I don’t think you know what that means.
Bryan: He doesn’t.
Kevin: So…where do you think we can build a trebuchet?

A Well Planned Road Trip With a Few Daddy Surprises – Too Close to Ignore is Now Live!

Road trip time!

Too Close to Ignore is live and Kevin is ready to show you how to plan a road trip that is unforgettable. He’s got a first aid kit, a sex kit, and plenty of room in the car to drive everyone bananas.

He and Bryan also have everything planned down to the tiniest detail…with the only exception being some surprises from the Daddies.

I had so much fun with this book and they’ve gone to some of my favorite places. I made up a few too but let’s see if you can figure out which is which.

Either way, these guys have a ton of fun on their trip but there’s a lot of growth too. There’s also a couple of scenes that you guys have been asking for, so I was very glad everyone behaved and didn’t go off script too much.

Kevin just can’t help himself, though.

Too Close to Ignore is book 11 in the Loving series which is a taboo bro-cest series that must be read in order, so if you haven’t read this one yet, start with book 1 which is free and read the blurbs. It starts as a slow burn but gets hotter through the series and eventually mixes with the cuties from the Pieces series. (click here to see suggested reading order for the two series together)

Click HERE if you haven’t grabbed the recent freebie which is book 10.5 and HERE if you haven’t started this series yet and need book one.

Have fun with my cuties and I can’t wait to see what you think should come next for these guys.

“How does his insistence that he followed the rules and Bryan’s limits make him look even more guilty?”

Kevin didn’t do it…well, not on purpose anyway. Just because Bryan’s hiding in little space and acting weird doesn’t mean Kevin’s at fault. Accidents happen…even accidental orgasms. But it was for science and he’s going to make sure everyone knows it too.

“Why is he hiding? Did you manage to talk him into sex in the car to prove you could?”

When planning for a road trip shakes things up, a cutie with newfound confidence learns it’s going to take more than hints and blushes to get what he’s set his mind…and his heart on.
