October Update

Hay, y’all, I hope you’re having a good week. I wanted to let you know why I haven’t posted. It’s fair and a must that I let you know I lost my grandmother. She passed, and no, I am not okay. She was my best friend and such a loving, caring soul. And I know we’re not here forever, but it’s still hard to accept. I’m struggling with this and thinking hard about mortality. Death is consistent and yet, we don’t consider it until we are forced to. My mother isn’t in the best health and my god mother is almost 80. I-god damn it. I don’t want to feel this way again, but I know it’s not over and I know it’s going to ruin me. I am grateful for having known my grandma and her love, I am. But I am also selfish because I wanted her to live forever. I don’t know, my thoughts are everywhere right now and I’m a mess. But I wanted to let y’all know what was going on. I can’t even bring myself to touch my keyboard or open my laptop. It’s going to be a minute, but I want to thank you all for your continued support and patience. You are amazing humans and please, please, check on those you love, they won’t always be here.

Neon Red Update

Y’all, I am a one woman show, and with that said, things happen. I am sorry for that. Sometimes, when I’m doing one thousand things at once, I fk up. And for chapter fifteen, I forgot to add ABs POV! But, I fixed it! He’s there, getting cracked open like a can of biscuits! If you’d like to go back and read it, by all means, please do. It is kinda important for y’all to see just how far gone he is for Low and Max. Their first moment was explosive and fleeting for a reason. 😏😌 As always, thank you so much for being patient with me, I be trying y’all. 🫶🏾✨Anyway, I hope you have a good weekend, and I’ll see you next week! Drink more water, and stay hydrated, bookie. It’s hotter than the devils nutsac out there.

To The Beautiful 11!

I want to thank each and every one of you for even subscribing and reading. You’re amazing! You keep me going, seriously. Without you I’d have no reason to continue, so again, thank you. Also, your patience hasn’t gone unnoticed. I finally posted another P&p chapter after taking a minute off. i had to focus on publishing my first book for about two weeks but it’s out now! I’m incredibly proud of myself for blogging this long and publishing. If you’ve read my older posts then you know just how scared I was to publish.

Now that it’s over and done with, I can’t wait to put my second book out there. I’ve written and finished about 44 novels. Will I publish them all? Maybe. I don’t know yet. Most of them are in the same universe save for five, Last year, I dabbled in first person pov and monster romance for the first time ever. I’m quite sure I’ll publish that title in the fall. Anyway, I just wanted to let y;all know that I am stil here! I won’t disappear on you without notice. I’m not the sort to leave a story unfinished, that actually chaps my whole ass. It makes me itch and feel like a quitter. So, Patchwork and Pitchforks will go on! I think this web novel is great because I’m a planster and at this point, the story can go anywhere.

As we explore Indigo Plains and Ravensguard keep in mind that I have no idea where we’ll end up. Thanks for taking this journey with me! And once agian, THANK YOU, WONDERFUL ELEVEN!

The Unexpected Resurrection of Neon Red and its CWs

About two years ago, I gave Vella a try. It went absolutely nowhere. I don’t know, maybe it was my lack of marketing skills. Anyway, I took Neon Red down six months before Vella shuttered and said I’d release it on D2D or Smashwords. I can still do that. I’m still thinking about it, but I figured why not give Substack a go and see what happens. If it doesn’t pick up after about six months, I’ll bring it here. No big deal. I get more reads through FB than anywhere else anyway.
So, with that being said, I will post Content Warnings here. Neon red is a Dramatic Paranormal Romance. Keyword: dramatic. It’s dark, twisted at times, and messy.
The story follows four vampires. First up, there’s Maxine, a depressed, ninety-eight-year-old divorcée living at home. Then we have Low, a bodyguard intent on fucking up his career and personal life. And because I love chaos, there is Jaxon Aubrey, a genius accountant moonlighting as a drug lord.
Lastly, and not my favorite character, Tracy. Maxine’s father, Low’s boss, and Jaxon’s newest client.
Neon Red is the first in a three-book series I completed four-five years ago. It’s not my best work, but it is fun and enjoyable. I have been editing and tweaking since its Vella days, so it ain’t sooooo bad.
Neon Red is a journey some may not like, and others might love. Keep in mind, again, this is a dark story with dark themes. I don’t condone drug use or selling, nor do I care for those who actively destroy lives. This is fiction, and trust, I do not glorify it. There are consequences for every action. If you follow along to the very end, you will see what I mean.
The main coupling is a fast-burning polycule. Mmf. Crossing swords and sloppy toppy for everyone! By everyone! I’ve said it many times, but all these characters are Bi or pan. No assuming, just know!
Also, Maxine and Low are Black. Jaxon is not; he is Irish. I suppose this makes it an Interracial and Black love romance. Neon Red is unapologetically Black, and some language will seem dated. That’s intentional. These are old ass vampires with decades behind and in front of them. Time moves differently when you’re immortal.

Without further delay, the CWs and trope card.

Off-page death of a parent, Depression Murder, Parental Neglect and Financial Abuse Trauma, Mild Gore Blackmail, Drug Selling, Drug Use (weed), Parental Abandonment, Mention of Religious Bigotry, Past Domestic Violence

Neon Red trope card includes Polycule dynamic, plus-size FMC, Secret Relationships, morally gray MCs, Paranormal Romance, Forced Marriage

It Feels Sooo Good To Be Baaaack!

Well! What a month March was. First, let me say this: I didn’t intentionally vanish. I lost my ac adapter for my laptop! I had nothing and could do nothing for three whole weeks. And I was miserable. No writing, no posting, nothing. Okay, that’s a lie; I brainstormed and wrote on my phone. Short stories (ones that never see the light of day), but stories I had fun writing.
Anything pertaining to PWAPF or blogs, however, was on hold. Everything is on my computer. With zero storage left on my device, I don’t have IG or WP on it. Obligatory work apps take up a lot of space on my phone. So, I was stuck for weeks and loathed every minute of it. But WE ARE BACK, and I hope to push out a new chapter on Tuesday.
