Hey, everyone. My book, Nature of the Beast, came out today. It's my 10th book! (I can't believe it.) You can find it on Amazon or my publisher, Desert Palm Press.

Please, check out the book, leave a review, and enjoy it. I appreciate all of you. šā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Quinary rough draft chapter 2
Previous chapterI donāt own these characters; DC/the CW does.2:Kara was surprised how smoothly things went announcing that she and Alex were bond mates. For a moment, she feared Alex was going to have a heart attack until Eliza gave her approval. Alex really needed that. It was a very relaxed night after that and even went on longer than expected, but it was good. Alex dropped on the couch as soon as they were gone, though, and laughed almost hysterically.āYou okay, love?ā Kara asked because she could hear the sob just underneath the laug...

Oh, there is sexual stuff right at the start of this one. I hope you like it.I donāt own these characters; DC/the CW does.1:Kara adored spending the night at Alexās place. Yes, she loved her bed with her dearest Lena, but she also liked being able to sleep next to Alex. It had been a month since Alex accepted they were mates and things went well.

He refused to discuss it with her, but ordered her not to go with Crow tomorrow. She would see how Crow reacted to the task. While she might not have any more mothers out there, there could always be other family members and if not, Crow was the Black Knight. She had already had enough adventures to fill a libra...

Kumari stood in by Fatherās throne. Father glared at Crow, who was quite unfazed. It was time for the second task.āGood morning, Great King.ā Crow bowed her head and Kumari now understood Crow was being extremely respectful. This daughter of a dragon, fed by a unicorn, could probably destroy their litt...

She was not used to such things and was not sure what she should wear to breakfast. Dumali and Citi were just as clueless. They were all accustomed to dressing for days in the library or the little garden. Citi held up Kumariās second best dress, also red and gold, but with less gems.āIs that too much for breakfast?ā Kumari wondered aloud.Dumali shru...

Kumari was hustled to her rooms as the idea settled. Crowās strength was even more impressive, like she could be a follower of Artemis or maybe even the goddess herself. The very concept made Kumari flush and her body grew warm. She did not have time to contemplate before her father burst into her room with Bembe behind ...

July writing news
All right, everyone. I'm here with July writing news and most of it looks similar to what you've already seen. I'm hoping to write faster now, so we get a little more exclusive stories this month. Still, wish me luck. So, I am done with the fairy tale type story and I'll be posting it shortly for Ice Cream and Sandwich tier. It's five chapters long with a bonus chapter for Sandwich tier patrons. I'm going to do my best to start posting the sequel to Creating a Monster. The first draft is done, but I have to tighten it up...

Previous chapterI donāt own these characters; Disney/ABC does.15: Positive FeelingsRegina and Maleficent sat in her living room, on the couch. It still felt the same, even smelled the same. She was not sure what she expected with everything, but it was good that it all seemed intact. It was all in the exact same place. It was impossible to tell something happened a couple of days ago by sight, but in Reginaās heart, nothing would ever be the same again. She would never be the same again.Maleficent looked around, shook her head, and opened h...

What the hell happened?Her heart pounded against her ribs and she felt sick. Please, be okay. Please, be okay! She was not sure what she would do with herself if Regina was hurt, or worse.She was able to pull into the driveway, almost ramming Reginaās Benz as she was more focused on the house rather than parking. She rushed into the house. It canāt be bad if I can just rush in here like this!Ye...

Previous chapterI donāt own these characters; Disney/ABC does.13: Better Psychological Well-BeingEmma stared down at Regina, who had fallen asleep against her yet again. This was the third time in the past few days, the first being when Robin canceled their big dinner date. Obviously, that was more than a canceled date, but Regina did not talk about it. Emma would love for Regina to open up to her, but she understood why Regina did not. They did not have that type of relationship. Emma needed to build a relationship of equals, a relationship ...

Previous chapterI donāt own these characters; Disney/ABC does.12: Develop TrustRegina found her favorite thing in the morning being replaced. She used to very much enjoy making breakfast for Duckling and watching Duckling eat. Duckling always looked so happy just eating the meal. It did not so much make Regina feel like a great cook, but there was something to seeing Duckling take pleasure in a meal. This was still afavorite thing, but not thefavorite thing.Reginaās new favorite thing was seeing Duckling work on her car. It was the sight th...

Previous chapterI donāt own these characters; Disney/ABC does.11: Make FriendsEmma worked on the Bug whenever she was home alone. She needed something to occupy her mind and the Bug was always good for that. Besides, she was making some progress on the car, even though she did not really want to be outside with the car. It was Reginaās day off. They should be hugged up on the couch, eating junk food, and watching some junk on television with Regina caressing her head. Regina was not there, though. But, Emma would not be alone for long.Regin...

Previous chapterI donāt own these characters; Disney/ABC does.10: Comforting CompanionsThe weather was warm enough for Emma to work on the Bug without gloves, but that did not save her hands from being cut up. Little scratches and nicks dotted her fingers, palms, and the tops of her hands. It was not as bad as before and that was fine. Regina did not scold her about it, anyway. She did keep on top of Emma about cleaning the wounds, though.Emma needed more tools, too. Reginaās garage was well-supplied with things Emma was certain Regina had ...

Previous chapterI donāt own these characters; Disney/ABC does.9: Contribute to Self-EsteemThe weather was getting nicer. Spring was seriously in the air, not just in name, but it was regularly fifteen to twenty degrees over the temperature when Emma first came to Reginaās house for saving. So, Emma decided to approach a subject that always got shot down because of the weather.āThink I could go out and start working on the Bug?ā Emma asked as Regina eased breakfast in front of her. Cinnamon pancakes, a favorite, even though Regina used t...

Previous chapterI donāt own these characters; Disney/ABC does.8: Fight LonelinessEmma stared at the dark ceiling of her nest, unable to sleep for the first time since coming to live in Reginaās home. She did not get Reginaās relationship with Robin, but she was not one to judge. Regina had gone out with him earlier and he might as well have been holding Regina hostage. Emma did not get it, but again, she was not one to judge. She had too many messed up relationships to ever judge anyone elseās relationship. It was just⦠she expected R...

Throughout the week, she had finally gotten back to him. She even spent a couple of days with him and Roland celebrating Minerās Day. It was not much. First, they did the carnival at the school for Roland, even though he had already done it with his mother. Yesterday, they had walked around Main Street during the annual art fair. He was not very interested, nor was Rolan...

Mary Margaret refused to believe she was okay and she could understand why. She had been missing for a couple of weeks now, which was not new, but also never good. Except this time was good.Emma had spent her time as a pet ...

Next one in a couple of days.5: CompanionshipRegina was a few days into pet ownership and it was just bizarre, but not in a bad way somehow. She did not mind waking up and making breakfast for Duckling. She even enjoyed shopping for Duckling with Duckling, even though it was just on the internet. She was not quite sure how this pet thing might play out, but it stayed on her mind, especial...

She had not been expecting Emma to agree to being a pet. Well, she wanted to give a cop out answer on Emma staying, but now the ball was back in her court. Letās see what you got.āYouāre really going to accept being my pet after your proud and fiery speech on how you can take care of yourself and you donāt need handouts and youāre not a stray?ā Regina asked.āYup.

June writing news
All right, everyone. I promise you, June will be way better than the disaster that was May. I'm done with New Tricks and will be posting that as quickly as I can to be rid of it, so it can't hold me back from the other stuff I have to write. So, here's my writing goals for June. Wish me luck. I'm going to write the fairy tale original story now. It'll be about five chapters long. *** added edit*** The next story in the Counting Saga, which will probably 7-10 chapters. Gotta get Alex and Lena together after eventually, right?...
Sincere apologies
Hey, dear patrons. I just want to say that Iām very sorry for the lack of chapters in the month of May. New Tricks was much more of a challenge to write than I expected. I worked on that since March and it sucked my will to write so much that I couldnāt even work on another story. I never expect a story, especially one less than 20 chapters, to take up three months of my time. But, I finished the first draft of the last chapter yesterday. Expect chapters to be posted if not tomorrow definitely Thursday. Again, Iām deeply sorry for what ha...

The one time she did, Daniel died ā possibly poisoned in her opinion ā and she almost married a man older than her father. It was all sorted and put her on this path of misery. Even when she tried to pull herself out of it, it did not work out.From that point on, she was very selective in who she troubled herself over. She needed to attach herself to people who could stand up for themselves, fight back sound ...

I donāt own these characters; Disney/ABC does.Super special shout-out to Kael Duke in this chapter because we see Regina doing the job she was meant to, even though she hates it. Added to that, their suggestion made me realize this story did not need to be as AU as I wanted to make it. I canāt express how much that helped me, even though this story is still kicking my ass.2: Improved HealthRegina could not believe the nerve of that little urchin! She went out of her way and offered help, only to have that thrown back in her face as if she h...

Summary: non-magical AU. Emma ends up living with Regina due to unusual circumstances and it improves both of their lives in ways they never imagined.I donāt own these characters; Disney/ABC does.A/N: this is a non-magical AU. Thereās also no Henry. There is, unfortunately, some Robin/Regina in the story, but the story is ultimately a SwanQueen story.Special thanks to Jennifer Barrata, Kael Duke, and Sour Leeberry for giving me suggestions to help me with this story. The story is still very much kicking my ass, but Iām pushing my way thro...

May writing news
Hey, everyone. So, here's my writing goals for May. I never make the mark on these things, but I do like keeping you informed on what I'm making an attempt to bring you for the month. I'm still working on the SQ story. Hopefully, we'll get to see the complete story this month. I will write the fairy tale original story once I'm done with SQ story. It'll be about five chapters long. After the fairy tale, I would like to wrap up the Welcome to the Neighborhood series. No idea how many chapters that story will have. I'l...

Untitled SQ rough draft 5/5
Last one of these. I've gotten some good feedback. Please, don't hold back if there's something you'd like to see in this Emma as a pet story.5:Emma could not believe it, but she had a collar. A bright yellow collar with a freaking jingle bell on it. She should feel huni lated, furious, and maybe even homicidal because Regina did this to embarrass her. But, she liked the stupid bell and every time it chimed she was engulfed with a brief moment of happiness.āIt looks good on you.ā Regina took Emma by the chin and lifted her h...
