A short preview of the new work, really just introducing a couple characters. The Grinder title's growing on me more.
(and, yes, I deliberately targeted Sunday morning, when you're waiting for Warlock 3 chapters and Warlock 2 audio, to post this, because I'm a sadistic asshole)

2025-03-02 15:13:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe extra scene for this month just went to editing (like, 45 seconds ago) and will probably be up Sunday.
This will be Noah and Mel meeting, but from Melaina's point of view.
It could be considered a bit spoilery, since it has Mel's thoughts that readers of the books ha...
2025-02-26 23:50:15 +0000 UTC View Posttl;dr - Expect preview chapters starting in April. February and March will see some short works here on Patreon.
Alright, so first ... thank you. Again. If you're on your third or fourth thank you from me, get used to it. It's been a wild four months, exceeding everything I could have asked...
2025-02-03 00:51:00 +0000 UTC View PostI had three releases to prepare and finalize in January so it's been a busy month (Warlock 2, then a Sutherland title, and one other).
I plan a longer update 2/2 after Warlock 2 releases on the status of Warlock 3 and timing expectations for sample chapters, etc.

Here it is - I hope you like it as much as a whole rather than in pieces. :)
My editor has instructed me to make it entirely clear that this is a chapter added to the book after she edited the bulk of the text, therefore, she is not responsible for missing anything in it.
In the end chapters I posted this morning, there's reference to a Sara Morgan-Gou...

I'm scrambling a little bit, trying to get some things done before the first of the year. The coming change for next year being fully self-employed comes with a lot more paperwork than I'd expected.
When I set up the Patreon, I wasn't expecting Warlock to be anywhere near as successful as i...
2024-12-29 14:04:52 +0000 UTC View PostThis might be the last preview before the ARC. It's pretty close to the end of the book now. :)
2024-12-25 14:55:14 +0000 UTC View PostProductivity this month has been good -- not great, but I think a drop around the holidays is to be expected.
Mostly I've been doing revisions and additions to Warlock 2 with some work on Warlock 3 -- and...
This is just the new chapters, since there's some work still being done in the previous ones.
2024-12-20 13:59:43 +0000 UTC View PostWarlock 2 is coming along nicely. It's going to need another round of editing, though -- just editing, not the edit-and-revise cycle I've been going through. When it went to editing, it was 120,000 words (about 20k less than Book 1). Now it's 140,000 words and I still have several scenes to add. ...

2024-12-08 15:18:57 +0000 UTC View PostOver the last year I've begun using AI for critique and research in my writing. Never to create words, because it sucks at that, but for things like "Tell me all the witch related events between 1500 and 1900" or "Within the context of your knowledge [the book] what would the likely population di...
2024-12-06 11:09:52 +0000 UTC View PostGood news or bad news first?
Okay, so good news is you get more preview chapters before Sunday.
Bad news is the next preview might be delayed, because I added about six or seven thousand words that need to go back through editing.
2024-12-04 14:56:38 +0000 UTC View PostUp to Chapter 12. :)
Regular caveats apply - subject to further revision, but the basic story and content will remain the same.
A day early and not the next chapters, but the prologue.
I went round and round a bit in my head with this, debating whether to include it, include it as a prologue, epilogue, or even an inline interlude.
I think I'm going with prologue, and there will likely be some changes to this....
2024-11-23 15:08:28 +0000 UTC View PostCourtesy of a Smut Master, we have Sam's fantasy about their first time with Rachel in the coven.
A reader told me this genre likes to have a discord server to chat about things, so here we go.
I'm going to have to figure out what all we can do with it, since I'm more of a Slack-guy. :D
2024-11-19 09:49:46 +0000 UTC View PostHere are the first preview chapters of Book 2 - about 14000 words, so 10% of the final book.
Please keep in mind that this is before I've done my final revision passes, so it's been proofread, but isn't final. I have an annoying tendency to say things three or four times over the course of ...

Okay, so not the most imaginative title in the world, but here is the first of the custom scenes brought to you by one of the Smut Master members (and a second is one the way in a couple weeks).
