Besties, I’ve been in a bit of a writing slump.
Once my last book hit the Amazon Library and I was comfortably basking in that post-release glow (you know… the ‘ohmigod holy shit I can’t believe I published ANOTHER book’ feeling), I sat down, opened my laptop and realized I hadn’t actually written anything in months.
Sure, I was doing the indie author thing—editing, marketing, sorting out my cover, obsessively checking my pre-orders, and double, triple, and quadruple checking that my Amazon listing had no glaring errors—but I realized I hadn’t actually written.
And that was a problem, because when I finally sat down to start Book 3 of my steamy MC romance series, I couldn’t get a damn word out. Was the idea there? Yes. Had I plotted out the entire thing from start to finish? Just about. Were the characters perfectly planned and ready to be written? YES! Right down to the way they take their coffee (and guys, the kinks I have planned for this one? *chef’s kiss*).
But I was unmotivated. Uninspired. And a weird thought had started to creep its way into my mind. What if this whole… writing thing was just a three-time fluke? What if I don’t have any books left in me? What if my words have run out and I NEVER PUBLISH AGAIN??
Obviously, that’s not a thing, but I sure was thinking it, and the more I obsessed about that, the more challenging it was to sit down and start working on my next book.
But then, spooky season happened, inspiration struck, and after a full weekend of bingeing every slasher movie I could get my hands on, I had a brilliant idea for my next release that I am SO EXCITED ABOUT.
So picture this…
A dark erotica anthology. Five stories all based on our favourite slashers, stalkers, and knife-wielding sociopaths.
I’m talking Jason. Ghostface. Jigsaw (who engages in a DIFFERENT type of torture and who REALLY likes rope play). Some dude on a quest for vengeance with an over-the-top primal kink. A Halloween funhouse.
And a whole lot of dark and dirty smut. Sound like your kind of thing?
The Masked Men if Migshaw County won’t be released until October 2024, but I’ll be working on this alongside my next full length Novel, which I also anticipate releasing in fall/winter 2024. Stay tuned for updates, but in the meantime, I have a fun little sneak peak below on what you can expect coming.
Biggest Fan: Stalker romance with scream vibes. It’s got them classic horror movie tropes (don’t go in the basement, don’t answer the phone, and for god’s sake woman, LOOK BEHIND YOU!), jump scares galore, and a list of trigger warnings almost as long as the novella itself. Trust me, you’ll be a fan of this one.
Funhouse: You’re trapped in a Halloween carnival funhouse with a bunch of serial killers. Except these serial killers are smokin’ hot and shirtless. Need I say more?
Camp Sunshine: Classic summer camp slasher (I’m talking MAJOR Friday the 13th vibes) but instead of getting murdered, our final girl gets railed (though, her friends DO still get murdered, so if you’re squeamish with blood and gore maybe skip this one).
Scream for Me: Did you know that before Shibari became a form or erotic bondage, it was once a Japanese form of torture used to restrain captives? Think Jigsaw, but instead of the usual gory forms of punishment the Saw franchise has tortured us with, you get ropes. And nakedness.
Run: A man on a warpath seeks vengeance by capturing and then hunting his enemy’s daughter. This one’s got a pretty wild primal kink. So be prepared for a hell of a chase.
These guys will push the boundary of morally grey into just straight bad dudes. But I promise, they look really good without their shirts on. And despite being walking red flags, they can certainly make a girl’s legs shake.
So check back on my socials for updates! Can’t wait to release these next year!
