Untitled porn: What happens next…?
Surprise, I wrote some porn! (Possibly because my current project is very psychological and I needed the release ;) But also, surprise, I haven't finished it yet. Should we go for some omega revenge? Some alpha cruelty? Both? Mpreg? You tell me, we will see what happens ;p Warnings for now: noncon, omegaverse slavery The ground smashed into him like a wave, out of nowhere, implacable, deafening. His legs jerked beneath him, still intent on getting away, on saving him. But i

Scenes cut from "Paper Kisses"
So even though " Paper Kisses" is barely a novella, I cut a LOT of scenes out because the original plot had Deryn believing Abel was still with Tristan (since, you know, they share a kid and Abel doesn't think to clarify because as you know from " Runt of the Litter " , they were never really together). Scene #1 – They lose control and have sex in the classroom Deryn breath caught, thighs clamping shut around Abel’s thigh, heart jumping as his body froze for a second, then re

Books that stop you in your tracks...
If you are a reader, you know the ones: the moment you see something in print (or screen) that someone actually published and that you have been waiting to hear all your life. You didn't know other people could feel like you do, think like you do, want like you do. And then there it is: another person across distance, or perhaps also time, that has smiled reassuringly and become your friend for life. They understand; you are not alone. It is not only those who are the same

A True Reader (August, 2022)
A true reader has no boundaries. Whatever its on the page comes straight into her heart, when there’s an injury or a loss, you will see her weep. A true reader laughs aloud—not alone, the joker is grinning right back at her from the confines of the book in her mind. A true reader is a chameleon, thinking like a detective, a murderer, a mother, a scared child, a brave young girl determined to make her own path, or a heartbroken man who cannot see a future without the one who m

At the whim of the stars... (not really)
I have always been a supremely logical person (hello, autism!) But in the last year, thanks to my partner, I have got into astrology. All my life I thought it was those 5 lines in the newspaper or whatever and I thought: how can everyone born in a 1-month bracket be the same? It can’t possibly be true! Of course it turns out the simplified version of literally nothing is true, isn’t it? Imagine describing a bechamel recipe as ‘add milk, flour and heat up’? lol Then for my bir

LGBT Movie rec: The Old Guard
So this is not book related, but if you love gay romance and you watch visual media, you HAVE to check this out. I stumbled on a rec for this myself and watched it that night straight through (I just couldn't PAUSE). The tension in is The Old Guard phenomenal and although it is not a romance, there are not one but two same sex romance subplots (main characters both!), as well as other types of diversity and a group of friends who are like family. There is some graphic viol

LGBTQ Rec: Young Royals (tv show)
O M G! I can't express how excited I am about this show right now. Last year (century?) we got Red, White and Royal Blue a sort of young adult but not really romance between a fictional prince of England and the bisexual biracial first son of the United States (also fictional lol). But if you read and wanted visuals... here we come! The Swedish got you covered with Young Royals where the second prince of the Swedish Crown falls for his working-class biracial classmate at boa

Rec: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
This book is deceptively simple, its language plays no games and has no curls. And it works. I was not only unable to stop reading but at the edge of my seat. I loved pretty much every single character and that could feel like a bit much but well, some people are just lucky, why not? I had some issues with the Spanish. Mascoto? And stuff like 'di me' but I'm guessing that just proves that people who speak but are not educated in a language don't write it that well (It's 'mas

LGBT+ Book Rec: Red, White & Royal Blue
A forbidden romance between a closeted gay prince of England and the biracial First Son of the first female president of the USA is a GREAT formula. But this book, which reads like YA on the sexier end of the spectrum and reaches for the heights of language of the best literature, goes well beyond the formula. The narrator, Alex, is a hyperfocused twenty-something who actually enjoys the opportunities his mother's presidency affords him to make connections and start his own p

Werewolves of Windermere
The series will go out of Kindle Unlimited on March 30th, but if you borrow before that, you can keep reading as long as you like :) Or you can grab it on my shop any time, of course. Anyway, let me tell you a bit about these guys... Devlin was my first. Before I was brave enough to give an omega (Ray) 5 mates, I thought two was quite enough… Of course, I also went a lot more accurate with biology (you’ll see what I mean, it’s traumatic for the guy, shockingly ;p). The main d

Sports, keep them low
I gotta confess, for a sport to make sense to me, the ball has to be under waist level. I’m quite good at drawing and minimalist work in general so I’m thinking maybe my poor eye-hand coordination in the context of tennis and basketball is an autistic superpower (like running into walls, mostly while reading <.<). But anyway, hockey was pretty perfect for me, they even gave me a stick to hit the ball! I got quite hardcore about it in primary school, and then again when I bega

Stranger than Fiction
Let me tell you a story... it’s the kind of strange that’s better suited to reality than fiction, but since it’s me, it mixes them both. In 2015, I began writing what I thought was a fun hockey romance about an omega with a chip on his shoulder and the alpha who believes he is straight until he smells said omega, his new teammate and totally off-bounds. It was not meant to be an epic but it took a life of its own. Keenan soon revealed all his romantic notions about soulmates

Did I ever tell you how I learned English?
This is something I have been keeping close to my heart, and to be honest, it's stupid. I have never let fear of judgement keep me from telling the truth, and furthermore if anyone thinks learning another language to the level you can write novels in is not amazing... Well, they can take it up with Nabokov, I guess, I don't give a fuck. So here's the story, more or less, first published in this blog here . Bilingual editions: a love letter to language I always loved languag

Lessons in Pretty & Passion
Before we get to New Year Resolutions and all that, I want to tell you about what I learned this year. It all started with a book called Time Management for Authors that I picked up on someone’s recommendation, only it turned out it was not an author thing , it was a person living in this fucking crazy century guide! So the first step was to write down everything you have to do in your life, whether for work/family/housework. The list gets long , unless you’re living in an i

Writing tips: Themes or hyperlinks
In literature, a theme can refer to an issue being explored (homelessness, coming out, racism, post-imperialism) but it can also be a metaphor or series of connected metaphors, this is normally known as a leitmotif . What’s the point? Well, themes will show up in all stories, whether because it’s a genre story (Romance: love is a theme. Science fiction: is technology dangerous? Thriller: does power always corrupt?) or because the author decided they wanted to write about a

A Bond Unbroken (cover reveal & first scene)
So I'm absolutely in love with the cover of my next book. It's called A Bond Unbroken and it came about when a fan asked me to write a version of Omega for the Pack where Ray & Josh were girls. It is probably my favourite lesbian romance of mine to date and I even managed to keep it to a manageable short story size. I have rarely seen lesbian omegaverse romance and I think there is a lot to explore there so if readers enjoy this one, I might do another! Do you like the cover?

Foreign languages—suggestions for writers
So the question of whether you should include foreign languages in your fiction comes down to whether you have a reason to do it at all. And no, ambience is not a reason. As a rule of thumb, the answer is just don’t. First of all, every word you write in a foreign language is a word you’re writing blind (obviously this is not the case if you’re a fluent bilingual) trusting another person to have understood what you meant and translated the nuance properly. Alternative: use

A Somewhat Update
Today's gonna be tough. It's my dad's birthday and in 9 days it will be the four month anniversary of his passing from Covid-19. In his case, the situation was already dire enough and I can find some solace in the fact that he is no longer in pain from the various conditions he suffered from. I still don't quite know how to deal, a part of me has said goodbye... A part of me hopes I can say goodbye properly when we hold the funeral next week. Through all this, I have been wri
