I owe this wisdom to my aunt (What can I say? I come from a long line of people who take way more responsibility than it’s healthy and also love to swear). It’s not literally about superheroes but the moment she told it to me I thought of Superman and his issues with intimacy, where he can’t even successfully date a total workaholic like Lois Lane (or Lex Luthor, if you are fanfic inclined). Stories are always about a truth we cannot name or point at directly, so it’s hardly

The Price of Ice is ready to pre-order on Amazon (coming April 13th), though it will be available direct April 6th both here and on my Payhip store. If you missed it, chapter 1 is here . His team may own his body, no one can claim his soul. Cover of "The Price of Ice" by N.J. Lysk And here's a bit more of Kallen in the meantime ;p Chapter 2 Getting assigned to live with the family of an older teammate was normal, but Kallen thought most rookies got asked, at least. He was pr

I have been trying to pretend to be okay. Because fake it till you make it, right? And no one likes whining. But fuck it, because you know what? My pain is real and if you are in pain, I want you to know your pain is real too and admitting to it isn’t a weakness. It doesn’t matter how many bad things happen to you in a row, if it’s a string of bad luck of just a combination of your own exhaustion leading you astray. If you are hurting, it’s true. You don’t need a doctor’s not

How’s February? Also, how is it February already? O.o I can’t quite comprehend. January felt a like a weird time loop to me, both eternal and instantaneous. Menu for today: ·      RL + travel photos + recipe ·      Writing updates ·      Hardback updates ·      Kittens fresh off the press! I’m currently in Bariloche, known as a ski/hiking city south of Buenos Aires. For the people of the Americas… it’s barely 17 hours drive from Buenos Aires. Europeans, don’t faint, it’s just

1 and ½ cup of lentils 2 big carrots 3 big onions 3 garlic pieces Optional: 1 tomato, chopped (fresh or tinned) Coconut oil Turmeric Salt First, this might totally sound like a normal lentil stew, BUT this is not the case at all. By trial and error with my very limited diet, I hit an amazing combo in coconut oil and turmeric, which is how very simple ingredients are elevated to a dish that everyone gets seconds of (even my friend's kid, who ended up with a tummy ache from ove

As a werewolf devotee, the full moon has always been my jam. I mean, even last night it was insanely gorgeous, can't wait for tonight. But now that I know astrology, I realise there is more to it that it's beauty. For one thing, it's time to let go. Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about (at least not at a conscious level), maybe something is niggling at you and you've been sort of wondering, kinda sideways because it's impossible , isn't it? How could you leave without.

*Also really shiny (pun intended) deluxe hardbacks. When I did the audiobook for “Omega for the Pack” in 2019 I was super excited, and I lucked out and found Gary Furlong, who nowadays has become a star in the M/M romance community because he is awesome at his job. That said, a lot of listeners don’t want to give a first book in the series a go if the rest of the series isn’t there, so I decided it was time to fix the problem! The solution? Kickstarter . What is this Kicksta

No actual candy is involved in this recipe, but the result is so yummy it's hard to stop eating it! Thus the name. I feel like Jayden would totally come up with this recipe to feed Jude some veg! By the way, the paperback is available for a little bit before it disappears until October . Ingredients: Cauliflower (fresh or frozen) Turmeric powder Garlic powder Onion powder Salt Olive oil For this one, I think I actually prefer frozen cauliflower (works if it's a mix that also

Hockey is all Kallen has ever wanted… But as an omega, his role is to keep his hockey team together. His body is his team’s both on and off the ice. It’s a price he is willing to pay to play, but when he is finally accepted into a professional team, all his expectations of team as family are shattered. He still wants the ice badly enough to stay, even knowing one day he will be asked to breed with his team to produce a new generation of players. But no matter how hard he trie

Brought to you by me getting to day #24 on my meditation app (How is writing 1k for 400+ days in a row so much easier than being quiet and breathing for five minutes a day?! O.o) The last six years have been a seriously tough time for me. Things aren’t super easy now either, but what makes all the difference is having ways to cope with it, so I thought I’d share some of those ways with you guys. Pick and choose, set a reminder on your phone to repeat them every Wednesday or

One of the things that I miss the most being unable to eat any premade food because of all the additives and the frankly absurd number of ingredients is biscuits. And when I finally #reintroduced Oats, I was in luck because it turns out you can make really yummy slightly sweet biscuits with them :D There are some decent options if you want to go for oats biscuits of Scottish Oat cakes as they are known in the UK. I have modified the recipe from this cool person . 150 g oats (

After I wrote my last update for my mailing list, I got a couple people asking about the stretches I do that help with my fibromyalgia ( here’s a link to my fave neck ones ). So I thought I’d share a bit more about my health today than I already have . First of all, I fully believe every person has got to find their own way to health, there isn’t a one diet fits all. That said, there are certain patterns we can observe, say… added sugar doesn’t do any body any favours. But wh

If this wasn’t so utterly delicious, I’d almost say it doesn’t count as a recipe, but since I had to discover it by accident, I’m gonna save you from possibly never discovering it. Prep time: 10 minutes.  Cooking time: 1-2 hours unsupervised.   What you need: Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (The smallest you find with undamaged flesh/no blemishes) Deep tray Oven Instructions: These can be done at any temperature above 180 degrees Celsius/356 Fahrenheit (ie cake baking temperatu

So Nate, one of the triplets in Entwined , has coeliac disease. That’s the gluten-free one in case you’re wondering, but it’s also an autoimmune disease which often leads to multiple food sensitivities and which can be treated via diet*. I’ve been eating like that since last August and since I’m a creative person and I LOVE food (obsession might be more accurate, but love is shorter) I have come up with some pretty awesome recipes that pretty much anyone can eat.   Simple Gou

First of all, listen to Matt Haynes tell you how Cole falls apart in Ari's hands. I don't think I can make the point any better than that, but I'll admit I got a little bothered while listening (or well, a lot, but hey, I still find my own books sexy and Matt could read the phone book and make it dirty). Get it direct here and both ebooks are included free (I'm including the just released sequel, Six Months Later). Also on Audible and other retailers . If you are not an audi

Since I can remember, I have always been obsessed with twins. The Olsen Twins and their movies were a staple in my house growing up and both me and my younger sister agreed being a twin would rock. But for me it didn’t end up in fantasies of pranks in the Parent Trap style, I also soon began to fantasise about twincest. Back then, it was private, but after years of living it in my mind, I began to write it too and I found a community of like-minded people. Fandom first, then

Tim from His, Truly finally gets his turn to shine Once day, this author made the brave and crazy decision of redoing the cover for His, Truly . The inspiration? A short-story from Tim’s point of view where he angsts like a pro over his feelings for Shane (if you haven’t read, I won’t say more, except #twincest, if that’s your cuppa). That decision resulted in an Amz ban, naturally, but that’s why I’m glad to have my own website and be able to reach out directly. The covers a

So this one is #personal, but I wanted to share because it's been life-changing for me #pain/#health-wise and it might help someone else. Let me start at the beginning. I'm 5 years old and I'm crying because I have a blinding headache, my dad sits next to my bed and holds a cold compress to my forehead while he tells me to breathe. I'm 10 years old and I've just recovered from another bout of migrainous stomach-ache (Turns out migraines in kids often present with vomiting and

Recently, talking to a friend about how many people in the BDSM community feel being a dom/sub/etc is part of their identity and not simply a practice, this idea crossed my mind. In my experience as someone who’s never fit the norm, labels have always been freeing. Knowing I was autistic liberated me from the expectation that loud noises shouldn’t make me curl up in pain (and wear earphones and other muffling devices to counteract this crazy loud world cities are). Autism bec

It was almost worse, feeling his fingers curl at his command, his hips twitching under the weight of the alpha sitting over his knees—nothing he could have dislodged regardless of the magic, but something he would have fought, to the death if that’s what it took. The alpha looked up into his eyes and then Liam felt his sack being lifted carefully but without ceremony. His range of movement was more than enough for him to flinch at the intimate contact, enough for a little whi
