Synopsis

"After conducting a ritual her friend had found online, Selene is astounded to discover the bull’s head that subsequently appears on the surface of the moon. Before she can escape, she is drawn into the demon lord Hygraxus’ realm, her body rapidly changing into that of one of his cow concubines.

Although she finds this confusing at first, Hygraxus is sufficiently intrigued with her personality that a new opportunity soon presents itself - becoming his bride.

This path is fraught with peril, as the other concubines are not at all happy with her presence. Their jealousy soon pushes her back to her own world, but now that she has been given a taste of a new life, she finds herself yearning for the impossible.

Her friend consoles her by helping her to discover a newfound taste for latex outfits and self stimulation. However, this is not what she truly desires.

Reaching out for the future, it is up to her whether she can find true happiness as the demon lord’s breeding heifer."

'Sky Trained' is now live!

 It's been a long time coming, but finally my extensive novel about hucows, ponygirls, and superheroes and villains has been released!

You can find it on Amazon here: Amazon.com: Sky Trained eBook : Waters, Caroline

I've raised the price for this book by a dollar since it's so freaking... long, but there is a possibly I will reduce it at some unspecified point in the future. I'm pretty pleased with this one, so I believe it merits the price increase - especially since it isn't a novella.

I've poured far too many hours into bringing this to life, and I do hope it scratches the itch for some of you!

"Allison thought that she had won the trip of a lifetime when her and her college friends were handed sweepstakes tickets to a tropical island. Her impression soured immediately upon arrival when she discovered that all the visitors were being trained to become latex clad cow women and ponygirls. Worse, her best friend knew this, and was already well on her way towards becoming a prime milker!

Rebecca traveled to the island for a far different purpose. Belonging to the hero agency Blue Stars, she is gathering intel to shut down Mistress Moon's villainous milking operation.

Neither of them know how their special powers will react when faced with Mistress' creamy delights. If they are not careful, they may both end up becoming happy cows in the island’s dairy!"

End Of May Update: Sky Trained + Containment

May is almost over, with summer fast approaching. I think that this is an excellent time to discuss where I'm at with my current projects, though I have no covers to reveal this time, sadly.

I do hope the small number of people who have read 'Transference' have enjoyed themselves. I've heard nothing so far about that release, one way or the other, so it's quite difficult to know what the market is looking for. I suppose I shall have to keep writing stories with different plots to get a sense of what people want in their longer form smut.

Sky Trained

I'm still in the middle of editing Sky Trained, almost literally, at 156/321 pages. At an average rate of 5 pages/day, this process should be complete at the end of June, giving this novel a release date somewhere near the beginning of July.

Depending on how well how the process goes, this may be done a little sooner.

I will say the story is turning out to be fairly fun, and I do hope to get it into everyone's hands as soon as possible. There's a lot of cow milking that's going to happen.

Containment

This story, at 43 K+ words, is starting to turn into a novel. I have a vague idea of where I'm going with it, and I'd like to keep it under 80K words if I can. If that's possible, I might be able to start the editing process for it at the end of June, at about the same time I release Sky Trained.

Just in time to start a new editing cycle! Oh joy!

I haven't given the next project too much thought yet, but it's likely to either be something shorter, or the next installment of the Rubber Order, which is very unlikely to be short.

I like the idea of writing a short, but none of the ideas I've had so far have turned out to be short. Oh dear.

So - nothing too much to report, really, except that I've been working diligently! Cheers!

Sky Trained Editing + Containment

Sky Trained

I've started the editing process for Sky Trained, and it's clear there's no way I'm going to be able to keep the pace I was using while editing Transference without horribly drying out my eyes. As such, I've halved the pace in an attempt to keep my sanity.

At the moment, that means I'm reading about 5 pages a day, which is a little unfortunate, because I expect that means I won't have this done being edited for at least two months. Bummer!

While that will push out my schedule quite a bit, at least it's happening, right? Currently, I'm 20 pages in out of 324, so it's definitely going to be a ride.

That said, there isn't much more to report here. I'll keep plugging away at it and hopefully I'll have good news to share about this (or a release!) eventually.

Containment

I've continued writing this tale, but it still doesn't really have an outline - just a rather vague idea of having two titanic forces clashing against each other. I think that actually is going to work, given the scope of this story is fairly small.

'Small' is a relative term for me, however, as I've already hit 20K words on this one, and I expect it to take at least around another 20 K more to finish it out. It's pretty likely that this will be another novella.

The good news is that I already have the cover done:

What do you think? I'm really quite proud of the result. This took quite a bit of editing, and I added the smoke effects myself with the help of some free paintbrushes in Gimp.

Anyway, there's going to be plenty more latex fun on this one when it's complete.

Of course, that means I'll have ANOTHER huge amount of text to edit before it can be released, but that's just the way it goes with authors, I suppose!

My updates from here on out might be a little sporadic, as I won't really have anything to share until I finish the first draft of Containment or I finish editing Sky Trained. I suspect Containment will be done first, but we shall see!

Rubberily yours, Half Shim

Sky Trained Update + The Future

I do hope that those of you who picked up Transference are enjoying it!

Now that it has been released, and the Robotic Restitution changes are in my rear mirror, it's time to look at what's next!

Sky Trained

As of Saturday, 4/23, I have the first draft of Sky Trained completed. It weighs in at a whopping 134,334 words, which I will have to read aloud to edit. (That seems like a bit of a daunting prospect!)

At 320 pages, reading 10 pages a day, that would take me a little over a solid month to do.

Yes, I'm planning on doing it at some point, but no, I'm not sure when I'm going to start that yet. At the moment, I'm in 'recovery' mode, trying to de-stress. This is my 'fun' hobby - it's not supposed to be a second job! (It definitely doesn't pay well enough to be a second job!)

I also know I don't have enough chapter breaks, so that will have to be fixed, too, before I can even consider getting it into an e-book format.

Worse, this is almost at the length where I should really consider splitting it into TWO novels... which leaves me with these options:

1. Do the split. Requires a good splitting location, and a second cover. Plus all the baloney that goes with creating two e-books.
1. Pros: The first half of the story can be released earlier while I'm working on editing the second half.
2. Cons: If I mess up in the first half while editing, that makes the second half more difficult to edit as I can't change details in the first half. Also, I would need to make a second cover and setup a series.
2. Raise the price, from the usual $3.99 to $4.99.
1. At double the content, in theory this is justifiable, but I suspect at that level, most people would simply give the book a miss. I'm currently in the solid 'NO' category with this idea.
3. Suck it up and release it as one, gigantic novel.
1. This seems like the most likely option at this point.

Ah, the fun parts of being an author. If anyone has an opinion on the above options, I'm willing to entertain them.

If I DO go with option three, I would expect the book to be released sometime in June. There's simply too much to get through to ask for anything sooner. I suppose this is on me for not writing and editing something shorter.

Containment

Since 'Sky Trained' has been finished, I've been scrounging around for another story to work on. I'm pleased to announce that I've started a new project, called 'Containment,' which involves latex clad rock band members, mind control via dark otherworldly smoke entities, an AI hive mind, and an organization tasked with keeping the world safe from interdimensional monsters.

I'm honestly not sure where this one is gonna go, because I started it without an outline (foolish me). I know how I want it to end, so I'm hoping that will be enough to get me working on a proper outline... eventually.

In the mean time, I'm going to keep writing this thing and see where it goes!

In theory, that should be exciting, but after coming off Sky Trained, I'm just hoping that this isn't going to turn into another two novels that should really be one novel.

Anyway, cheers, and at this rate, my next update will probably be in a month! Hopefully I have gotten a lot done by then!

April Update: Transference, Sky Trained, and more!

Transference

Weighing in at around 42,000 words, my tale about sexy futa robot drones finally has a completed first draft. For a story I was intending to only be around 15K, this one certainly got away from me, as most of my works tend to!

I've just finished writing the author's notes, so the next big chore is the proofreading/editing.

I was able to churn through 'Vanished' in about a week, but I'm not certain I want to push that hard for this one. Certainly, though, I don't wish for it to take another month before I release.

I'm not sure what Amazon's policies are around sexy robots with metallic dicks, so we'll see whether or not my synopsis gets approved for publication.

Anyway, I'll post here when/if I get this novella released, which I expect will be in a few weeks.

Sky Trained

In the meantime, this behemoth of a novel has reached about 120K now. Fortunately, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I believe that there's only about 1 1/2 more scenes to write until the end. I expect that won't take more than 5 K, which puts the first draft within reach by the end of the week.

Unfortunately, that means I have an incredible amount of writing to edit, which is liable to take a LOT longer to get through. Imagine having about 170K words to read and edit ahead of you, and then you'll begin to understand my pain.

It must be done to get to release, however, so that's all there is to it. May-ish sounds like a good release time frame for this one at my current rate of progress.

Re-covers of Drone Shuffle/Drone Circus

Mid last month I also worked through new covers for Book 2/Book 3 of Robotic Restitution. Here they are:

Eventually, I'm planning on re-releasing these books with these new covers, at which point I'm planning on making book one completely free (on both Smashwords and Amazon).

At one point, I vaguely thought about putting them together into one big omnibus, but as time goes by that sounds less and less appealing. I think this will be a suitable place to put them permanently. As my first works, they're not good, but they're not bad either. I'm proud of what I've managed to accomplish so far.

The Future

I'm not going to completely stop my writing while I'm editing, so in the meantime I'll also have to come up with something else to work on. I don't have anything planned at the moment, but I figure what I'll do this time (for fun) is to trawl through my collection of stock photos and come up with a story that fits them. It could be fun! (And also a lot more work!)

I also want to get back to the Rubber Order universe this year, but I don't really have a plot put together yet. Plans are subject to change (TM).

I am committed to making this year a year of publishing multiple works, so stay tuned! There will be more to come!

Sky Trained & Transference - Plus Working on Updated Covers!

It's been over a month, so this seems like a good time for an update! I haven't been slacking off, I assure you!

Sky Trained

I'm up to ~90,000 words on this book now, and I suspect it will take another 20K to complete. That's almost TOO long, but I want to tell the story properly. I'm currently not planning on splitting this into two books, but let's see how I feel after I finish editing this beast.

I'm still putting in ~1,000 words a day on this novel, so I'm hoping the first draft might be finished around the end of this month. No promises!

Transference

A couple weeks back I had a great story idea. One which I thought I would start working on after I finished Sky Trained. Well, I'm a little crazy, so I decided that I'd start writing it concurrently with Sky Trained, at a goal of ~1,000 words a day, as well.

So far, it's been two weeks, and I'm keeping up. I really don't know how I'm doing it, but it's happening some how.

Unfortunately, this 'short' story has already bloomed into a 14,000 word behemoth, and I'm expecting it might need another 10K to finish.

That means it's likely I will release 'Transference' before Sky Trained, if I can keep up the current pace. Work on this story only happens if I feel like I can do it each day, so it's not a hard goal (but I'm just lying to myself, I'm totally going to do it).

Anyway, that means a new, weird story about robot drones is coming to Amazon, possibly by the end of the month. I already have a cover made up for it!

Does it look good to you?

Here's a preliminary synopsis. I'm probably going to rework it before release, but it should at least give a taste of what I'm trying to accomplish with this story:

"Chloe wakes up to discover that her consciousness has been implanted in a rubbery blue synthetic body. Together, with her lover Sakura, who has also been turned into a gynoid, they try to figure out why they have been dressed in black latex and let loose among a population of unintelligent drones.

Lost in a sea of androids, will their love survive the mysterious intelligence orchestrating these events? How real can love be when your entire existence has been programmed for you?"

Robotic Restitution Re-Covers

My original trilogy is more or less done in terms of sales, so I'm thinking I may want to do something with it to make it look more polished.

I won't call myself an artist by any means, but now that I've gotten confident with my editing skills, I'm working on putting together new covers for this series. I want my entire library to look as professional as I can accomplish, and my original cover attempts were amateurish at best.

Once I've finished, I may put together an omnibus, but at the very least, I'm planning on making the first book free.

Here's the first cover as a preview of what I'm trying to do!

I think it looks way better, but that's just me!

Sayonara for now, and maybe I'll put together another update next month with an actual announcement of a release!!!

'Sky Trained': Update 2

It's been about a month since I announced my next project, so I thought it would be a good time to check in.

So far, 'Sky Trained' is around 54,000 words, with about 13 scenes left to write. That being the case, I think it's very likely that this will turn out to be about a 100,000 word novel, since I haven't quite hit the third act of the book just yet. At my current rate of writing around 1,000 words a day, that puts the first draft as being completed near the end of March.

I certainly won't promise anything sooner, since a novel of that length will take a considerable amount of time to edit. Also, I'll need to figure out the next story to work on at the same time, which means there's probably going to be some wiggle room needed. If I had to make a complete off the cuff guess, I imagine it will probably be published sometime late April.

This will prove to be a bit of an issue, as I want to publish more than one story this year, but I can't really help where my muse is taking me. This one's gonna be a long one. That's just the way it is!

I will say that there's going to be a tad less sex in this one than in my other KDP works, as this story has 'fatter legs,' and a slower burn. Hopefully there are still people out there who will enjoy it!

You know what? Since I don't have a synopsis for this novel yet, I might as well take a stab at writing one here so you can get a taste of what this story is going to be all about!

Sky Trained Synopsis

Allison thought she had won a trip of a lifetime when both her and her college friends were handed sweepstakes tickets to a tropical island. Her impression soured immediately upon arrival when she discovered that all visitors were being trained to become latex clad cow women and pony girls. Worse, her best friend knew this, and was already well on her way towards becoming a prime milker!

Rebecca traveled to the island for far different reasons - belonging to the secret hero agency Blue Stars, she is working to unravel the strange transformations the island staff are wreaking on the unsuspecting students.

Neither of them understand the insidious methods which will be brought to bear to bring them both to heel. Isolated, with the appropriate training, they may both yet end up becoming new cows in the island's dairy.

Upcoming Project: 'Sky Trained'

Hello there! I hope you all had an excellent Christmas and a Happy New Year! Welcome to 2022!

Headed into the future, my New Year's goal is to work hard to finish more works and get published on Amazon more often. To achieve this goal, I am still keeping up with my 1000K words a day goal. I am currently around ~15K into a new work titled 'Sky Trained.'

More excitingly, I've been working on the cover for this story the past three days, and I already have it completed! (See Below)

I haven't yet written the synopsis for 'Sky Trained,' and I'm also not yet sure whether it will be novella or novel length. I won't know until I get close to the end!

What I do know is that this story is going back towards my roots. There will be a lot of mind control, milking, human cattle, pony girls, superheroes, villains, political skullduggery, and plenty of sexy fun times.

I can't promise a release date right now, as if this turns out to be novel length, the editing is sure to be a bear. Just know that I am committed to continuing my current pace of work, which at 1K/day means I would potentially hit novel length around 55 days from now (if we go with a standard novel length of 70,000 words). If it turns out to be longer, it will, of course, take more time to write!

I think any fans of my past work will enjoy this one, but we shall see! Good luck with your New Year's resolutions!
