Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 41

Amara stood in her living room, heart racing as she stared at her mother. Her hands, still covered with chitinous exoskeleton, crackled with hellfire; the only noise cutting through the stiff silence. More than ever, Amara felt like the spitting image of Evelyn; the rich scarlet of their demonic ...

Book Two Feedback

You may recall that, three or so months ago, I officially released Book One of the Aurelius Archives: Suddenly A Succubus. Moving forward, my goal is to release two books a year, which is roughly the same rate at which I write them! The hope is that whatever I'm writing online is always about two...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 22 - Reflection

When writing this chapter, I really wanted to spend more time digging into Alicia's POV regarding Roxy. However, this did end up breaking a bit of an informal rule I've been trying to stick to with these chapters; I normally try to alternate POV between Kat and Alicia, and that didn't happen this...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 22

As the sun crept over the horizon, warmth flooded Alicia’s branches, and she woke with a heavy sigh of relief. Although she was still merged with her Heart Tree, the memories of her many injuries from yesterday lingered, which created some unusual sensations; it was hard to translate the human ...

April Update

Spring is almost here! I'm thrilled the weather is finally starting to warm up, and I can't wait to start taking long walks in the summer sun again. However, before that can happen, I suppose I should let you know what's going on around here, yeah?

Suddenly A Succubus Book Three has finally...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 40 - Reflection

With Book Three now fully wrapped up, it's time to dig into the aftermath. This was an interesting chapter to write, as I wanted to strike a balance between showing Amara dealing with her grief, but also struggling with everything else that needs to happen. Brandon finally being defeated doesn't ...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 40

Amara clenched her fists, watching them closely as blackened, chitinous plates grew from her knuckles. Once covered, she smashed them together, sparks of hellfire jumping up her wrists. She skipped from side to side, moving faster with each step to force her heart rate up. With a heavy, guttural ...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 21 - Reflection

As I've said many times before, I struggle to write more mechanical conflicts. I understand many people enjoy them, but they've always been something I struggle with when writing. I want everything to be about my characters! The last two chapters of Blood & Chlorophyll have been a bit more me...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 21

Searing pain assaulted every fiber of Alicia’s body. She was trying to put on a brave face for Kat, who she wanted dearly to not worry, but it was hard to hide just how hurt she was. The pain was slightly easier to manage while adrenaline coursed through her veins, and although the fight was ov...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 39 - Reflection

Truth be told, I have no idea how many of you actually read these Reflections. I know some of you do, but I also know they're nowhere near as popular as the actual story. This makes perfect sense, obviously, and I've always intended the Reflections to be fun little extras for those ...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 39

Late last year, Chloé found a small note-taking app in her search to organize her volunteer efforts. Her poor memory had always been a frustrating weakness, and her phone was cluttered with dozens of calendar alerts designed to keep her focused. A weekly alarm for hormone shots, a monthly alarm ...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 20 - Reflection

So, last time, I was able to cheat at the start of the chapter by showing everyone getting ready for their first delve. I wasn't able to do that this time, and we start right in the middle of it.

I will say, though, I'm having more fun writing out the Dungeon bits than I expected. It's defi...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 20

Gentle music drifted through the canopy, backed by the subtle percussion of leaves crunching underfoot. Inspiration flowed through Katrina, suffusing her guitar before leaping through the air to return vitality to her party. In her opinion, their first fight had been an overwhelming success, and ...

March Update

Welcome back! We've got an exciting month ahead of us, don't we? This will likely be a bit of a shorter update, as there's not too much happening for me at the moment.

The most exciting thing is definitely the resolution of Book Three. My Beta Readers already have the final chapter, and let...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 38 - Reflection

It was incredibly refreshing to be back in Amara's head this chapter. Her POV has been absent from the last two chapters, and for a large chunk of those chapters she was completely unconscious. As much fun as it's been to explore all the characters in her absence, I'm happy to be back.

Spec...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 38

Amara took a deep breath as she walked, each stair bringing her closer to the cafeteria. Previously, fresh off her reaper kill, she’d been too exhausted to care about the crowd of students, but now things felt different. The adrenaline had worn off, and she’d fed enough downstairs for her inj...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 19 - Reflection

So, fun little secret about this story. I've kinda been dreading the moment where everyone finally starts tackling the Dungeon, because it's such a foreign concept to me. I love writing romance and character drama, but Dungeon crawls? I've been scratching my head for months trying to find the bes...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 19

Alicia paced back and forth at the edge of Elias’ pond, nervously watching the sun as it began to slip under the horizon. Every few minutes she glanced back to her house, wondering when exactly Kat would wake up, knowing that the Vampire’s arrival would signal the beginning of their first del...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 37 - Reflection

Fun fact—when I first outlined this book, I didn't have a clear picture of what exactly was going to happen after Amara and Vee first discovered Brandon. I knew they were going to race back to Earth and fight off reapers while getting students to safety, but it was hard to figure out what might...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 37

With a burst of magic, Tessa threw open the door in front of her, stormed through, then slammed it shut. She began furiously pacing back and forth, eventually letting out an angry scream as her tattoos flared again, this time hurling a chair across the room. It collided with the far wall, denting...

Membership Tier Updates

Hello all my lovely Patrons! Quick bit of news today: I'm going to be making small adjustments to some of my Patreon Tiers. It's nothing crazy, and for most of you nothing is going to change, but I still want to make sure everyone is on the same page.

So, as a quick refresher, these are the...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 18 - Reflection

This is a chapter I've been incredibly eager to get to. It's been sitting in my head for a while, and it's specifically the reason why Tab asked for blank checks all those chapters ago.

I've mentioned this before, but I did significantly less planning ahead with Blood & Chlorophyll than...

Ask Chloé Anything!

A few months back, I ran a Q&A with Amara in celebration of my Patreon hitting 100 members. Since then, the community has continued growing, and I'm now at 150! Honestly, I've had a surge of new members in the last few weeks, which has been absolutely exhilarating for me. Welcome all you love...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 18

It was a surreal experience, planning a cam show. Tab had started calling tonight ‘Kat’s debut performance’ but Katrina didn’t like how that sounded; it implied a chance that she would ever do this again. She kept returning to the same thought, over and over; her greatest shame, the guilt...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 36 - Reflection

In Chapter 35 I purposely left a few things pretty vague. I didn't show Amara and Vee coming through the Lysander Circle portal, I didn't show what Vee was up to, stuff like that. Now, on one hand, this was a perfect way to build suspense for Chloé's showdown with the damaged reaper. In my opini...

February Update

I published a book!!!

I'm so incredibly happy with how the final version of Suddenly A Succubus turned out. The entire process was thoroughly enjoyable, and I learned so much about the world of self-publication. The best part (other than having a paperback copy of my very own book) is that ...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 36

Earlier

Tessa spent the entirety of dinner gossiping and floating wild theories about Amara and Vee. She would never in a million years have guessed that they would hook up, but apparently the stars had aligned in Purgatory. It also made sense in hindsight; the first time t...

Suddenly A Succubus Now Available!

At long last, Suddenly A Succubus is available to purchase in both eBook and Paperback!

Again, I want to thank each and every one of you for your support. I'm so h...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 17 - Reflection

There's something incredibly refreshing about writing the aftermath for an event that I've been teasing for ages. Like, sometimes in stories, the slow build of tension leads to a great moment and then the story falls flat afterwards, and I'm really happy that's not a problem I've struggled with. ...
