Romance is the mask we wear over primal desires.
It feels like October is coming too fast! Where did the summer go? We’re through Phase 2 editing of Magnolia Borne. Right now, I have the draft with Alpha Mazeira, our editor, and a Beta Reader or two. While I await feedback from everyone on this round of edits, I thought I’d fill in some…
Being a genre and collection of tropes workshopped on the internet, the Omegaverse is … interesting. We think of it as this mash-up of ideas that can sometimes seem (or outright be) contradictory. That’s because, frankly, it is. When you look at any genre or trope idea across multiple works, especially from different authors, you’re…
Today, I’m not going to talk about the Meta of our Omegaverse … because I’m going to go Meta. I want to peel back the curtain and look at how Alpha Mazeira and I crafted the Three Rivers Claimed series. It’s been an interesting journey, one that challenged how I wrote, and allowed me to…
I’ve brought up the debunked wolf study a few times in articles here because, frankly, I have a bone to pick. Look, I get that it can be annoying if you know literally anything about wolves to hear someone go “I write common wolf tropes into my fiction.” I understand. That said, I am going…

Even before that, though, I was a fan. There’s something haunting about a person forced to become a beast. It’s not surprising that I fell in love…
It’s always a good idea, in my opinion, to ask yourself why you chose a location. I could say we chose a Pittsburgh Omegaverse because it’s where I live. It’s easy to pick out locations and get the vibe of places when I can go there myself. But … I’ve lived lots of places. I…
I’ve seen a lot of ink spilled over variations of this question. Why do we love morally grey men? How are we still consuming the “I can fix him” trope when we know it doesn’t work in real life? What’s the perennial appeal of the bad boy? It feels like a new discussion, but it’s…
Holle talks about what makes Omegaverse and Shifter stories endure … hint … it’s not romance and magical realism…
Never fear. Your favorite erotica author returns. Welcome to my website and blog. I’ve been working on some new projects, so I thought it was time I dusted off some things. I hope you’ll stay in touch. You can follow the blog if you’re not already and receive updates when I post. You can also…
