Last year, I had a baby. It was full of ups and downs. Parenting is one of the more challenging roles I have taken on in my life. As an mpreg reader and writer, though, going through pregnancy, birth, and now parenting, has had an interesting impact on what I prefer to read and write. What my writing looked like for months after I had my baby. (Jessica Lewis 🦋 thepaintedsquare / Pexels.com) I...
It’s been a while, huh? The last time I posted a blog, it was summertime. It was still 2024. Now, it’s a whole new year. Time has really just slipped on by. So, what happened to me in 2024? Why did I basically go dormant for months on end? And, more importantly, what’s in store as we look ahead to 2025? A Roller Coaster of a Year in 2024 When I was outlining my goals for 2024, I mentioned that I...
The following is a preview for Host Club on the Pleasure Planet, a book in the PLEASURE PLANET series, available January 28, 2025! One The bells were tolling the hour, calling the brothers to prayer, when the messenger arrived. He arrived in a sleek black vehicle that barreled through the gates of the abbey, nearly running over several of the monks hurrying to the chapel hall because they were...
(And Why I Won’t Be Doing Any NaNoWriMo Events in the Future) What my writing output has looked like the last couple of months (Jessica Lewis 🦋 thepaintedsquare / Pexels.com) Right! So, it’s May already. You may have noticed that the blog went on a bit of an extended break from early March. That wasn’t really my intention, but … life happened, as it is wont to do. Truth is, I haven’t written...
Omegaverse has taken off in the last five to ten years or so. With it, we’ve seen plenty of batshit crazy moments—like someone claiming to have “invented” it. We’ve also seen it cross over into the realm of M/F books, even if the trope was represented there early on. A lot of m/m and queer omegaverse is also mpreg, so I wanted to focus this post on books that were less firmly in that category...
There are a ton of people writing mpreg out there these days, and I’d say we’re somewhat spoiled with how many new titles appear from month to month now. What can be difficult, though, is keeping track of all the new releases. I know I often don’t know about a book until it’s been out for months and months. Often, I just happen to be scrolling social media and someone posts about the book. It...
It’s the start of a new year once again, and that means it’s time to lay out some 2024 goals. Last year was a big year for me. I got married in the spring, went on a honeymoon, switched jobs, and published five stories in five months. I’m almost always ambitious at the start of a new year. This year, I need to be careful not to make my 2024 goals too lofty. There are some big life changes heading...
It’s hard to believe we’re at the end of yet another year. Most of us are already looking forward to 2024 and making plans, goals, and resolutions for the next twelve months.As we do that, though, it never hurts to look back at the year that was. Taking a moment to pause and think about what we did well, what we accomplished, and what we’d like to do differently is almost never a misstep.Of...
Another year has flown by. In just a couple of weeks, we’ll be saying goodbye to 2023, and hello to 2024. One thing I set out to do and actually accomplished this year was doing more recreational reading. In my day job as an editor, I read books all day long, sometimes six or seven days a week. Most of the books aren’t exactly what I’d choose for pleasure reading, since I mostly deal with non...
I was super-ambitious in January and had lots of goals! Now it's July, so it's time to check in and see how I'm doing with those.
Coming January 28! Get set for more intergalactic hijinks when a monk inherits a HOST CLUB ON THE PLEASURE PLANET!
