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?
