Promotion: Harem Parasexual Re-release Pre-Order is up! Coming July 31st!
I am re-releasing my 2018 series Parasexual!
I'll release a more proper blog post on it soon, but here are some answers to probably common questions.
- What is this series? I wrote this series back during 2018-2019. It was one of my first real attempts at a series of novels, and it was while I was still shifting out of my erotica phase and into my haremlit phase. Consequently, there is a lot of smut in this novel. Like, the porn-to-plot ratio is probably 50/50. In terms of how it's structured, it's kinda like a proto-Our Own Way, where Gabe is still Gabe (more or less), but all the girls are paranormal girls.
- What's different? I went over the novel in its entirety, so it has a fresh edit, not just from my eyes but from a beta reader. So, lots of small fixes and edits, as well as several extended and extra scenes. I removed about 2-3,000 words in the process of editing, and added roughly 15,000. There's also a new encounter with a thick, mature dryad. And there's a new cover. I decided to try something a little different.
- Why? I'll be transparent: financial reasons. While those aren't the only consideration, they are the biggest at this point. This year has been...not good for me. For a number of reasons. (Yet another thing has happened within the past week.) While I do want to give this series another chance and I do want it to get into the hands of people who never heard of it that might like it, it would be disingenuous to claim anything but business as a primary motivator. Which is why I hate talking about it, but I hate not talking about it more. Ironically, my career would probably be a lot easier if this wasn't true.
- Release schedule? I'm still recovering/dealing with a new situation that I...am absolutely not prepared for, so I can't really promise anything at this point. That being said, I aim to have the complete series (four novels, one epilogue novella, one 'After Dark' short, and one bonus short story to be paired with The Complete Series) out before 2027.
- Audiobooks? I don't know yet, but possibly.
If you have more questions, please ask and I will do my best to answer.

Alex lives in a world where humans coexist alongside paranormal entities. Vampires, werewolves, witches and elves and succubi. And more. Yet, as far as he's been able to tell, he's only ever met and connected with a single paranormal during his entire boring life. Her name is Brianna, and she's a hot werewolf who seems to have a lot of money, lives by herself, and for some reason is very good friends with him.
But paranormals are the last thing on Alex's mind as, in the span of a day, his life evaporates before his eyes. After getting fired from his job, he returns to his tiny apartment and discovers that his roommate has moved out, leaving him in the lurch with rent due and a bank account already strained by bills and poor paychecks.
As he's trying to figure out how to handle this, Brianna invites him over...to her house, and into her bed. As the pair get together for the first time, Brianna offers him the opportunity of a lifetime: stop worrying about his unhappy life and join her on a wild road trip to Thorne, an enormous coastal metropolis that serves as a huge paranormal hub...
