There Arose Such a Clatter . . . Tales from the Naughty List is a short anthology of bite-sized, scorching hot tales from Krampus’s Naughty List, sure to keep you warm beneath the sheets all winter long. CWs on author's website!

“A choice,” the beast chuckled, gripping her tightly by the wrists. “You’ll continue to receive your lashes, or you’ll receive your punishment in a more creative way.”

Everyone knows that Santa keeps a list of who is naughty and who is nice . . . but what happens to those on the naughty list? What happens when naughty girls grow up and stay naughty? A lump of coal is the least of their worries when Krampus comes knocking with horns and hooves, his basket filled with branches he knows how to wield in the most delicious way . . . He’s here to punish misdeeds with lashes and pain — and dark, unspeakable pleasures that last the whole night through. How can a naughty girl think of repenting when the punishment is just so good?

There Arose Such a Clatter is a short anthology of bite-sized scorching hot tales from Krampus’s Naughty List, sure to keep you warm beneath the sheets all winter long. CWs include: some (but not all!) dub-con, forced punishment, spankings, sex as punishment, sex work, forced orgasm, human/non-human relationships, and a fantastically long tongue. This anthology features monster/human relations of an extremely sexual nature and is only intended for mature audiences.

So with @monster-bait releasing her Girls Weekend book it got me thinking that you should consider doing a book of all your stories. I would definately buy it!

@monster-bait‘s amazing book is definitely an inspiration, but it takes SO MUCH work to make something ready for publishing, and there’s a big leap between ‘post-able on Tumblr’ quality and ‘publishable’. I’d have to re-edit everything, and while I would love to create an anthology of my short stories (and intend to perhaps one day), it’s not something i have the energy for at the moment. I’m in AWE of the lovely and talented monsterbait, and thoroughly recommend anyone to check out her book on Amazon, but for me, it’ll have to wait.

Most of my Patreon folks said (when I closed it down) that they’d buy a book of the Patreon-only stories, so I might do that in the future too. We’ll see. Thanks though!

"The long coil of his tongue dropped from his mouth to follow the trail of berry juice he'd smeared against her skin, dipping beneath the low neckline of her dress. When it curled around a pebbled nipple, Grace wondered just how low it might reach."

Turn on your lamps — Merrick will be flying into Cambric Creek this January!

Hi, I see lots of people asking about stories of yours that you've taken down for publishing and it made me wonder. Do you have a place where people can read synopsis (plural??) of upcoming books/books that have been taken down? I saw the teaser for Sweet Berries at the end of your Farm book, but I don't know the one coming in 2022 I don't think and I wanna get hyped! (Have read Sweet Berries stories, but the book is gonna be bomb)

I don't have a synopsis landing page, but my website is about to get an overhaul, so that might be changing!

In the meantime, here's the tentative order of things:

Parties, GW book 2- Several months after a weekend girls' trip, suburban elves Lurielle, Ris, and Silva are still affected by their experiences at the resort and the orcs they met there.

Lurielle discovers that being in a multi-species relationship has its challenges: meeting Khash's family, introducing him to hers, and facing the harsh realities that lie ahead if they stay together. A lifetime together or a lifetime apart - she must decide if she can bear the heartache the future holds.

When Ris returns to the resort on a whim, an unexpected encounter with a slightly familiar face upends this elf's desire to be a free as the wind. Ainsley is simultaneously everything and nothing that she's looking for - smart and sexy and completely unattached . . . but how long can they "keep things casual?"

Silva struggles to juggle the expectations of her family and seeing Tate in secret until she becomes tangled in her web of lies, necessitating a choice - following the carefully mapped life of privilege her family has planned for her in their Elvish community . . . or throwing it all away to follow her heart, for a man with his own heart full of secrets.

Parties is a multi-POV story, following all three girls through a succession of soirees, each one winding their separate story lines - and the work friends - tighter together.

Sweet Berries - Grace has a job she loves, a community she adores, and plenty of friends . . . but her lack of bedroom action has left this event planner too horny to think. When one ill-advised night at the bar leads to her giving an exhibitionistic show to an unknown presence outside her bedroom window, she thinks she’d hit a new low. When her voyeur turns out to be a nebbishly charming mothman, Grace needs to decide if she can trust her body — and her heart — with this garnet-eyed stranger before he flys out of her life for good.

Sweet Berries is a monster/human romance novella featuring high heat and a lot of heart, with a guaranteed HEA. It is the second book in the Cambric Creek Romance series, and can be read as a standalone. CWs: human/nonhuman romance, nonhuman anatomy, size difference, exhibitionism

Pride - Don’t ever go into the forest alone, gorza, there are strangers there who will take you away.

She had grown up in the shadow of the forest, with the story of the boy who’d disappeared into its black confines having been passed down in her clan for generations. She never imagined the story’s subject might be real.

Nineteen, rebellious, and queer; trapped in a marriage she never wanted, Elshona wishes that she too could disappear from her life, never to be seen again. When she meets a sharp-toothed stranger in a pub, whose past bears more than just a passing resemblance to the tale she’s known all her life, she does the one thing she was taught not to do: follows him into the night, out the door and away from her family and all she knows, all the way across the sea.

Pride is a Girls Weekend side-story about Tate and Elshona: how they meet, their shared connection, and the pain of not being accepted and leaving home behind. It's a story of queer acceptance, chosen family, and the ties that bind us, for better or worse. CW: ALL the emotions

Moon Blooded Breeding Clinic - Returning to Cambric Creek is the last thing Lowell Hemming wants to do, but when his career as a photographer is put on hold, he’s not left with much of a choice. Suffocating under the weight of the Hemming family name and the confines of his small hometown, the monthly full moon is the only time he doesn’t feel trapped. When an intriguing flyer requesting healthy male werewolves catches his eye, he finds himself calling Moon Blooded Breeding Clinic, signing up as a donor for their catalog.

From the outside, recently divorced Moriah has everything - except the one thing she wants: a child of her own. Desperation pushes her to contact a very unconventional clinic with an unparalleled success rate . . . all she needs to do is align her reproductive cycle to the full moon and pick a werewolf from a catalog with whom to mate.

Moon Blooded Breeding Clinic will feature a high heat slow burn that examines real-world issues through the unique lens of Cambric Creek. CW: knotting, breeding, werewolf/human relationship.

Changes, GW book 3 - hahahaha, nope. Not yet!

Wheel of the Year - Ousted from her coven, hurting for clients, and struggling to keep her aging family home, socially awkward witch Ladybug is at the end of her rope. When she rents the attic bedroom to a silent, unsmiling drider, she thinks her life might be on the right track to improve; when she lets him into her bed, it will never be the same.

Wheel of the Year is a series of short vignettes, centered around the witch's sabbaths. CW: arachnophobia, spider anatomy, biological aphrodisiac, HUGE size difference, non-human/human romance.

Beneath the Linden Trees 1 - In a time of war and kings, the orcs of clan Duh’lar have secured the mountains for their own, and if adopting the customs of men is the only way to keep it, they will do what they must. Peace and prosperity follow, but when war comes to the Easterlands, the Lord of Linden Hall must decide if the orcs will honor their treaties.

Beneath the Linden Trees follows tree orcs and the women they love, and how the decisions of one affects the lives of the others:

Aurelie is a well-bred human Lady from the Easterlands, promised in marriage to the youngest son of the orc lord, sent away from her father's keep to her new home at Linden Hall. To her shock, her betrothed is warm and kind, well-spoken and indulgent . . . but after several weeks in residence in her new home, she has still not laid eyes on Tilianus, the orc she is to marry.

Lisette and Gelgrah, a witch destined for the stake and the orc who rescues her, have built their home at the base of the mountain, far from Linden Hall. When war comes to the mountains, Lisette realizes their little family is at risk of being torn apart.

Eh'lazar is an acolyte at the temple of the moon, learning the ancients arts from the high priestess, Eonar, before he is cast out for dabbling in darker magics. Hardening his heart, he cultivates a reputation as a powerful necromancer, capable of raising an army of the dead . . . but when war comes to the mountains, he must choose between cementing his power and the elf he once loved.

Beneath the Linden Trees will be a three-part series (for now) that should be read as a series. CW: typical period-era violence, human/non-human romance, size differences

Rosemary & Time - She had always known the way through the wood, until the day the wood changed.

When Thorn follows a light into the forest, the world she thought she knew falls away. Memories and lives already lived shift and dance in her head, obliterating reality and leaving her at the mercy of the fae to whom she is forever bound. Jack of the lanterns is the last person she ought to trust, but as she is thrust into the world of the high courts, he is all she has.

Surviving the treacherous Court of Autumn's capricious Queen and her deadly consort are only the start of Thorn's journey through the wood, and she must decide if she is willing to play their game forever . . . or free herself from her captor, the man she has loved for several lifetimes.

Rosemary & Time is a topsy-turvy journey through the world of the fae, where magic and memory weave a confusing tapestry, and where nothing is ever what it seems. It is a standalone story, but is connected to Girls Weekend, and recommended for the richest reading if both worlds. CW: it's the fae, baby. All the content warnings.

Reunions, GW book 4 - I promised happy endings for all my babies, and after a lot of suffering, this is the book in which they finally get it.

That's what I have planned for now!

Happy 5 month Birthday to my girls!!

The milestone day was actually yesterday, and I spent most of the afternoon waiting for the clearance to make this post, which did not come until early evening.

I went to bed not feeling great, and this morning I woke up one year older, feeling like warmed over garbage 😂 Honestly, that sums up the last year pretty well for me -- catastrophe tempered with bright spots of sun, and even though I'm sick on my birthday, I can't think of a better way to celebrate than being able to share my girls' news with you all!

Girls Weekend has been signed by Tantor Media to bring Lurielle & co to life in audiobook form, and I am *ridiculously* excited. We'll be joining the Tantor family alongside Ruby Dixon, Scarlett St. Clair, and Nalini Singh, so I know Tate, Khash, and all the girls are in good hands.

As soon as I have a release date I'll be posting the news here, but make sure you're subscribed to my newsletter in the meantime. I'll be doing some audiobook giveaways once we are closer to the release, so stay tuned!

Also! Every book you see in this photo (except for the open one which is off my own shelf) is going out today in book boxes. Thank you so, so much for continuing to support this book and its extremely congested author, it means the world to me. As soon as Morning Glory is live I will be putting 100% of my energy and attention into getting Parties ready for publication, and I can't wait to share the next chapter of the Girls' story with you!

[monster-bait]

Hold on to your butts, Morning Glory fans!

Show of hands, please: how many of you are familiar with the term Stern Brunch Daddy? I first learned about this romantic hero classification over on bookstagram, and as I read different bloggers criteria and descriptions for the type of character they consider an SBD, I realized that the MGMF rewrite sort of puts Rourke into that classification. He's a bit more commanding, a touch sterner . . . and a whole lot sexier, in my opinion!

Patrons got a taste of his new characterization in the teaser excerpt posted this week, so if you are a subscriber and have not yet checked it out make sure you do so! As a reminder MG MF will be available on Kindle and on KU, and in a limited print run sold exclusively on my Etsy storefront.

I'm hoping to have some information to share on cover reveal and potential arc copies for MGMF very soon, but in the meantime enjoy this new Rourke character art, courtesy of Saturn Tepes @vampire-jesus

💧Morning Glory Milking Farm excerpt💧

She should have let go. Violet knew that; told herself she ought to do so immediately, but she was hypnotized by the way his heavy balls throbbed as he came, each spurt of his cock into the milking machine originating beneath her fingertips, and she began to squeeze them in time, helping him empty every drop.

.

Morning Glory Milking Farm will be releasing this summer - available on Kindle ebook, Kindle Unlimited, and a limited print run and book box exclusively on my Etsy store front. Please stay tuned for details!

[monster-bait]

OMG, IT’S COVER REVEAL DAY! 💜💚💜

I’m so excited to be sharing this story with you, and I can’t wait for you to meet (or re-meet) Lurielle, Ris, and Silva — three suburban elves who take a weekend trip to an orc nudist commune. Shopping, sunbathing, and sexytimes are the plan, but the girls quickly learn that sex tourism isn’t all it’s cracked to be. The weekend has a lasting impact on the lives of all three girls, and the orcs they meet. Can a weekend of easy sex really end in love?

Girls Weekend will be available in print and in ebook form on February 9th, just in time for your socially-distanced Valentine’s/Galentine’s Day! 

A huge thank you to @ilustrariane for creating the breathtakingly beautiful design for this book, both inside and out...I’m obsessed with this cover!

"On the screen, the fox-woman twinkled as one of the minotaurs rose, following her through a set of double doors. Violet felt a sudden wave of nerves grip her, an inexplicable panic that tightened her throat and made her cling to the sides of her chair as if she needed to hold on for dear life. 𝘈 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭, 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 . . . 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯? She had no idea why, no clue what caused the sudden premonition to squeeze her heart, but a tiny, panicked voice in her head had begun to whisper 𝘳𝘶𝘯." 

 It's #monsterfuckermonday!! 

Patrons got a first look at the Morning Glory intro yesterday, in which you'll meet Violet -- a down-on-her-luck human with a brand-new master's degree and not a single job prospect in sight -- as she travels to Cambric Creek for the first time for a very unconventional job interview. 

Morning Glory Milking Farm, a monster romance novella, will be available on Kindle, KU, and a limited print run, which will only be available on my Etsy storefront! Book boxes will contain a signed paperback copy, an exclusive print, and an enamel pin, and as always, Milking Assistant patrons will receive the book box automatically with their subscription! 

Stayy tuned for cover reveal & ARC info!

Hi! I’ve been away for quite some time, so I must’ve missed a lot of your earlier posts. Could you remind me what the status is for the story of the beautiful and scary kelpie Fionghall (sorry I probably butchered his name)? Cheers!

Hello!

Fionn is on a temporary hold, as both mine and Ilustrariane's schedules are pretty heavy at the moment, but once the second book in the Girls Weekend series releases I'll be reevaluating our ability to complete this project together. If we can't, I'll be taking it in a new direction alone!

The best way to keep up with my publication news is to subscribe to my newsletter (and get some free Girls Weekend content!) and follow me on Instagram!

[monster-bait]

For some reason I can't read past the first part of The Mabon Feast - as soon as I click the link to keep reading it says that url doesn't exist. Is it not available anymore or is my computer just broken? I REALLY want it :) :) :)

I'm glad to hear you really want it! The Mabon Feast is the first part of The Wheel of the Year, which will be published early next year. To stay informed of my publication schedule, I *strongly* suggest following me on Instagram signing up for my newsletter/website alerts.
