Happy October! These chilly fall mornings are magical. I got to wear a sweater this week! I love sweaters, they're so cozy!

I'm starting Pykh 3 today. :) Thank you everyone for answering my survey. I thought I'd get like 20 replies the first week, and that was good enough for me. Instead I got... a lot... And some interesting 'other' comments too. I'll check back now and again as I'm working on the book. I love hearing thoughts about the characters and storyline.

The series will be mpreg. I know that's a squick for a lot of people, and it used to weird me out too. I used to think, 'If he's getting pregnant, isn't he a woman?' But the lovely and talented Raythe Reign keeps a blog where she talks about tropes and fetishes in the m/m genre, and her fans addressed it really well, changing my mind.

Having a child with your mate is extremely romantic. You give your body and life to that person. LGBT characters get to experience it too in fiction.

Plus, ya know, cute babies.

Carter is going to get there, but I might be writing another long book. I'm hoping for a December release... I think it'd be really cool to have a three book series before the new year. But no promises, alright? I've never had control over my writing, it just takes as long as it takes.

​Check up on me once in a while though! I'll probably post a chapter preview mid-November.

Thank you SO much everyone for having a little extra patience while I put the final touches on my book! Human Omega: Trapped in the Alien Jungle is live.

​The book is a little shorter than I stated before, ending up at 110k, because I found the perfect scene to end it on.  It's still a lengthy read though. This is the longest single title I've ever published. My other long stories were published in monthly episodes.

I hope this is a satisfying pining romance. If you know what a sick fic is, this will be your jam.

There's an extra sexy scene in the back, after the author's note. With all the adventure going on, I couldn't cram it neatly into the timeline without a massive rewrite, so I opted to chuck it in there as bonus content. I liked it, so I didn't want to throw it away.

There's a poll in the back of the book too. Please take it. And if you have any thoughts to share after the book, I'd love to hear them in a comment. I've worked so hard on these books because I hope they'll give you warm fuzzy feelings of adorable romance.

Blurb & Cover:

Carter isn't sure what to call his two alien protectors. Friends? Boyfriends? Mates?

Or merely indiscriminate lovers with sexy purrs and tangling tails?

He would be lost without them, he knows that. When their home is invaded by a dangerous new kind of alien slaver, they flee into the jungle. He depends on his partners for food, protection, a direction to walk in. He's helpless even for shelter and warmth.

Thankfully, his alien lovers seem devoted, but why? Carter wishes he knew their names or anything else. Like whether the attachment he's feeling is returned. With aliens, you can't make assumptions.

Wouldn't it be nice if he could just ask?

I've got two chapters posted below because they're a unit, one leading to the other. Thank you guys so much for your patience! I know it sucks waiting for a book. This one took me totally by surprise. I expected the Pykh books to all be about 45k or so, very light and fast novels. I had it in my mind that Carter would talk in this one. And then I chased a plot bunny around, leading to two books in one, but they don't work well enough as separate novels. I'm writing the ending now and filling in some skipped chapters. I'm expecting the book to be about 120k and to be released in September.

Here's the cover!

So I'm hard at work on the next Human Omega book, but it's coming out way longer than expected. It's already at 60k and I have about 40k to add to it before it's done! It's really fun though, I can't wait to show it you. The first book was only 50,500 words.

The first chapter is below, and I think it's pretty cute. Carter is trying to teach Pykh his name. It's not going so well though.

So my book is doing really well. For me, lol. Usually they sell alright for a week and drop off into oblivion after that. This one is surviving week two with it's head above water, so thank you everyone! You're the best. 

And now a funny story....

So my family is kind of religious. My great grandfather was a preacher in Oregon during the Great Depression. No one has followed in his footsteps, religion steadily losing its grasp on my family, but my mother is Christian and does not like what I write. At all. 

​She tries to be happy for my success though.  Today I showed her how awesome the book was doing and her face lit up. I don't know exactly how our conversation went, but here's a few funny lines:

"So what's it about?"
"Gay alien male pregnancy romance!"
(all happiness drains from her expression)

"Why do you write that stuff?!"
".... uh... what do you mean?"

"You probably wish you were a man!"
"A gay man. Who is also an alien. And starting a family!" (At this point, I'm just fucking with her.)

"I guess if I want to live somewhere that's good and not evil I can't invite you over."
"Yeah, no, definitely not."

So. That's what being a gay romance writer is like in my family. I totally play into it and have fun with them. My mom tries very hard to be supportive even though she's embarrassed. Thanks Mom.

And thank you everyone who got the book! Seriously. I keep thinking 'today's the day it flatlines' but it hasn't done that yet. It'll be any day now, and that's alright. Thank you!! :D
