Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 23
Chemistry class the next morning proved to be one of the longest hours of Amara’s life. She could barely keep herself awake, as she’d been up all night glued to her phone. Vee was back, after all, and had agreed to help them stop the cult. When they’d last spoke, she’d promised to reach out ...
Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 06 - Reflection
I actually rewrote the beginning of this chapter a couple times. At first, my plan was to completely revisit the scene at the end of the last chapter, with the same dialogue and everything, but instead seeing everything from Kat's point of view. However, after getting through about half of this,...
Rough Draft - Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 07
As the sun slowly dawned on the city suburbs, and warmth filled Alicia’s branches, she let out an immense sigh of relief. Her branches felt as if they were stretching towards the light, and powerful energy flowed through her once more. She let herself relax for another few hours; not quite asleep,...
Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 06
The “Becoming Monsters” LitRPG setting was originally created by AiLoves, and is now managed by OtterlyMindblowing.—Katrina’s nerves were on high alert for the entire train ride. She’d only needed to ride it a handful of times in the last few years, but this was her second trip in less tha...
Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 22 - Reflection
Woo boy, this a relatively new experience for me as a writer, and it took me longer than usual to really cement everything that was happening in this chapter. Still, before we get into the meat of things, lets start at the beginning.We pick up just moments after our last chapter, with Amara fleeing ...
Character Prompt - Blood & Chlorophyll
Hey everyone! It's a Blood & Chlorophyll week, and the chapter I'm writing needs some characters! I'd love to hear your ideas; maybe you have a cool visual for a character, or there's a Race you'd love to see briefly in a story. If you want to include personality ideas, that coul...
Rough Draft - Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 23
(Hey guys! I went ahead and updated some of the sections in this chapter. I tried to incorporate in all your notes, while also slightly altering the fight at the end to make it easier to follow. If you find the time, I'd love to get your opinions on how Version 2 fares. Also, when you share your...
Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 22
The elevator ride took ages. Amara’s heart was racing the entire time, and she was terrified the cult might have a way to stop the elevator or call it back. There was also the demon; what could it do? Could it race up the elevator shaft and break in? Was she ready to fight another demon? She tried...
Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 05 - Reflection
This was definitely a chapter that, while enjoyable, I was a little nervous about. I try really hard to focus on showcasing my characters, letting them do interesting things, but this chapter necessitated a not-insignificant bit of worldbuilding. For many authors, worldbuilding is a pretty tough bea...
August 2024 Update
Welcome to August everybody! Can you believe we're already more than halfway through 2024? July was pretty exciting; I got to share a cool piece of guest work, and we got to see the first of my Patreon-exclusive Side Stories! I'm hoping to get Chapter 2 of Tessa's story out sometime this...
Rough Draft - Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 06
Katrina’s nerves were on high alert for the entire train ride. She’d only needed to ride it a handful of times in the last few years, but this was her second trip in less than a week, and the strain was wearing her down quickly. It didn’t help that Alicia seemed equally stressed; being separat...
Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 05
The “Becoming Monsters” LitRPG setting was originally created by AiLoves, and is now managed by OtterlyMindblowing.—“But that doesn’t make any sense!” Alicia said. “The Chicago Dungeon is miles away, we’re way out in the suburbs. How could there possibly be an entrance here?”Katrin...
Tessa Ch. 01 - Reflection
I finally started my Side Stories! Woo! I hope it didn't feel like too long a wait, but this story is taking longer to write than I anticipated. From the beginning, I knew Tessa would be a great character to focus on, but how would I do that?I have a lot of opinions regarding spin-offs, side sto...
Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 21 - Reflection
Did you know this is only my third lesbian sex scene? I'm consistently surprised by how little girl-on-girl action I put in my story as a very devout lesbian. Still, when it does happen, it's a blast, and I have a feeling it'll become more common as we get further into the story.One real...
Guest Work - Amara's Phone Call
Hi everyone! I've got a special treat for you today; one of my readers felt inspired to write a short piece about Amara, and gave me permission to share it here. I think it's a really great read, and a fun way to speculate about possible futures for our collegiate succubus! I hope you all en...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 21
Several hours had passed since the sun disappeared behind the horizon, and Amara was relaxing on her couch. Her head was resting in Tessa’s lap, and some generic action movie was playing on the TV. The two girls had finished dinner recently, and were slowly preparing for the main event of the nigh...
Tessa Ch. 01
A strange noise echoed through the house from downstairs. It was loud enough that it woke the little girl who’d been sleeping peacefully on her parents’ bed, unaware that it had been empty for hours. She slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes as she yawned.“Mommy?” she asked, looking to both sides ...
Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 04 - Reflection
I'm really happy to be past some of the slower, introductory chapters now. The first two chapters were a blast to write, don't get me wrong, but it was a lot of set-up with very little plot. I'm also incredibly excited to be writing what is, essentially, a more straight forward story. I&...
Rough Draft - Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 05
“But that doesn’t make any sense!” Alicia said. “The Chicago Dungeon is miles away, we’re way out in the suburbs. How could there possibly be an entrance here?”Katrina set her guitar case down, opening it up to pull out her guitar. “It’s a little complicated. Every dungeon works diff...
Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 04
The “Becoming Monsters” LitRPG setting was originally created by AiLoves, and is now managed by OtterlyMindblowing.—Katrina didn’t sleep well the following day. She tossed and turned, even woke up a few times as rush hour traffic loudly announced its presence. In the end, she rose before her...
Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 20 - Reflection
So I'm walking my dog last night, right? It's finally a half-decent temperature, I'm enjoying the weather, when I suddenly realize that I never posted a Reflections piece yesterday. Cards on the table, I've been a bit sick this week, and my sense of time is all over the place. It was...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 20
Birds chirped outside the window, enjoying the morning light as it slowly filled the sky. A soft breeze passed through the autumn leaves, shaking some of them loose before they fell to the ground. Inside, a phone prepared to sound its alarm, but was silenced before it had the chance.Vee had recently...
Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 03 - Reflection
This Chapter is where the main thrust of my plot really coalesces, at least in my opinion. One fun difference between this book and Suddenly A Succubus is that things get off to a slower start here, and I'm glad I approached it that way. Giving Katrina and Alicia their own introductory chapters ...
July 2024 Update
Welcome to July everyone! I hope you're all enjoying your summer, I know I am. It's been pretty toasty in my area, and I think this heat wave is hitting most of the US. If you're in the States, please make sure to drink lots of water and find someplace cool to relax. If you're not in...
Rough Draft - Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 04
Katrina didn’t sleep well the following day. She tossed and turned, even woke up a few times as rush hour traffic loudly announced its presence. In the end, she rose before her alarm went off, while the last traces of sunlight were still lingering outside. Careful to avoid the tiny sunbeams that m...
Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 03
The “Becoming Monsters” LitRPG setting was originally created by AiLoves, and is now managed by OtterlyMindblowing.—Katrina’s melancholy mood vanished immediately as she realized she wasn’t alone. In her surprise, she reflexively pushed off the tree and floated a few feet away, all while k...
Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 19 - Reflection
Before I jump into the Chapter, I want to share some behind the scenes stuff on how I approach my books. For the most part, I outline the events of an entire book before I really get started, with a few exceptions. For example, when I started Book 1, I had no idea I was going to take everything this...
