Mid March Update

Mid February Update

Normally I save these for a little later in the month, but it's pretty clear to me what I'm going to be doing for the next month, so I might as well talk about it now!

Last month I released my novella 'The Rubber Order: Sanctification' and a short story, 'The Gift That Keeps On Giving.' I consider the former to be more of a mood piece, while the latter is more of a squicky stroke story.

Neither of them did all that well, which could be because I suck at advertising, or the niche I'm writing for is fairly small. Either way, this is a hobby, so it doesn't really matter. It is nice to get validation that people are actually reading my stuff, though!

I suppose I thought another outing to the Rubber Order universe would be more popular, as 'The Rubber Order' is my second best seller of all time, though there are several possible reasons why that wasn't the case this time:

1. 'The Rubber Order' has been released for almost two years now and this story hasn't had enough time in the limelight.
2. The subject matter is a bit more serious this time around so it may not have appealed to the same audience.
3. The people who read the first novella didn't like it and aren't going to read another in the same universe.
4. I just suck at advertising.

I'm sure there's a few more possible reasons that I haven't identified. In the end, since I have no idea what's going on since I never really receive feedback on my KDP books, I'm not going to sweat it too much; I'll just keep moving forward onto something else.

I will say that the relative popularity of my works does somewhat influence decision making for what I write in the future, though it's somewhat of a 'squishy' thing. I'm mainly writing things I would like to read myself, so I wouldn't decide not to write something solely based on how popular I think it will be. However, I would be a fool to say that it doesn't influence my decision making at all.

Orthogonally, at the moment, my two other bestsellers are 'Sky Trained' and 'Doll Factory,' which kind of makes sense, I suppose, because they're a little more mainstream in their content - as mainstream as dollification and milking can really be.

Anyway, no more dwelling on the past. Let's talk about what's next.

I'll discuss my next work below, but if any of you has a preference for what I should pick up next based on the list I posted last month, do drop me an email and I might consider re-sorting my priority order.

Over Easy

As mentioned in my January update, I have a series of story ideas I delineated there. I'm still working on the story titled 'Over Easy,' which has grown larger than I intended it to. It's 30K at this point, and I expect that it might need another 10K before I'm done with it, which will put it in novella range. I'll just have to see what it looks like when I get there.

Given that, I expect the writing should be done by the end of the month, and I might be targeting an early March release. The cover is already done (see below), so I just need to do the editing and formatting, which these days usually takes about a week to get through.

There's going to be a healthy mix of humanoid alien women, breast expansion, alien parasites, collars, egg birthing, lesbian romance, and bodysuits that look suspiciously like latex (but are definitely some kind of alien material). If you like any of that sort of thing, stay tuned!

'The Gift That Keeps On Giving' has been released!

 My latest short story, 'The Gift That Keeps On Giving,' has been released on Amazon and KDP!

The Gift That Keeps On Giving - Kindle edition by Waters, Caroline. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

This is the first short I've ever released on Amazon, and I'm curious to see how it's received. It's also more squicky subject matter, so of course that won't be to everyone's taste. Even so, I'm pleased that I've managed to produce a shorter story, and I intend to release more shorts this year than last (as long as my ideas don't grow to longer lengths!)

Synopsis

"Justine doesn’t know what to make of the alien gift her husband brought home from work. Is it a plant? Is it an animal?

Either way, the golden globes that extended from the creature’s egg-like carapace were certainly mesmerizing, and she couldn’t fault its desire to soak up the soothing yellow light in her bedroom.

But why can’t she stop herself from admiring it? From petting it? And why did her body seem to be changing to address its various needs?

Sure, the reptilian scales looked pretty, her tongue was super long, and she felt awfully horny all the time, but it was starting to get difficult to convince herself that she was still human. Perhaps her husband would know what was going on.If not, she certainly wouldn’t mind showing off her new gifts."

'The Rubber Order: Sanctification' has been released!

 My newest novella in 'The Rubber Order' series, 'The Rubber Order: Sanctification' has been published on Amazon KDP!

The Rubber Order: Sanctification - Kindle edition by Waters, Caroline. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

I struggled with this story more than most due to the serious themes addressed inside. Abuse and death are nothing to joke about, but redemption and hope are strong messages. In the end, I think this turned out to be a strong entry in the series, and I hope everyone will enjoy!

Synopsis

"Ruby withdrew from her rubber nun training, attempting to start over again at a small convent as a working menial. Blaming herself for the death of her husband, and grieving her lost child, she tries her best to fit in with the other menials.

Her presence is not accepted, however, and when a new Father arrives, she becomes his number one target. Braving punishment after punishment, she begins to believe that she is no longer worthy of salvation.

Picking up the ruined pieces of her life might take more help than a visiting Father can provide, but her desire to wear the rubber has only grown during her time in isolation. Putting her trust in God, she desperately searches for a way to heal her soul.

Inflatable rubber, floggers, and revenge can be a heady brew indeed."

January Update - The Rubber Order: Sanctification and more!

The Rubber Order: Sanctification

I hope the New Year is treating everyone well!

I'm excited to announce that I will be submitting my latest novella, 'The Rubber Order: Sanctification', to Amazon for publication tomorrow.

Here's the synopsis:

"Ruby withdrew from her rubber nun training, attempting to start over again at a small convent as a working menial. Blaming herself for the death of her husband, and grieving her lost child, she tries her best to fit in with the other menials.

Her presence is not accepted, however, and when a new Father arrives, she becomes his number one target. Braving punishment after punishment, she begins to believe that she is no longer worthy of salvation.

Picking up the ruined pieces of her life might take more help than a visiting Father can provide, but her desire to wear the rubber has only grown during her time in isolation. Putting her trust in God, she desperately searches for a way to heal her soul.

Inflatable rubber, whips, and revenge can be a heady brew indeed."

I'll post full details when it releases, of course, but in the meantime, I also have news on the road ahead as well.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

As of Friday, I finished a short story (~16 K), about the transformation of a couple into weird reptilian aliens via mind control squickiness. It ran around ~40 pages, so I've finally managed to produce a short!

This is a rather new thing for me, so it's going to take a while to get it sorted out for release. I don't even have a cover for it yet!

I'm planning on working through the editing and cover over the next few weeks, and I suspect I should have it ready by early February. Since it lands within the 'short' length, I'm going to sell it for $2.99.

If you like this sort of bizarre stuff, keep a look out for it around then, and here's the synopsis to whet your appetite:

"Justine doesn’t know what to make of the alien gift her husband brought home from work. Is it a plant? Is it an animal?

Either way, the golden globes that extend from the creature’s carapace were certainly mesmerizing, and she couldn’t fault its desire to find more light on a mining planet that received little.

But why can’t she stop herself from admiring it? From petting it? And why did her body seem to be changing to address its various needs?

Sure, the reptilian scales looked pretty, her tongue was super long, and she felt awfully horny all the time, but it was starting to get difficult to convince herself that she was still human. Perhaps her husband would know what was going on.

If not, she certainly wouldn’t mind showing off her new gifts."

The Future

I have a large assortment of various story ideas I cooked up over winter break, which I'll be working through one by one in the new year. I've created outlines for all of them, so they're already past the stage where I might consider scrapping them.

I expect most of them to be shorts, while others might turn into novellas, but none of them, so far, appear to be novels. That could always change, of course, but we shall see!

I've roughly grouped them by subject matter, and I'm not planning on tackling them in any particular order. If anyone has a preference as to what you'd like to see first, let me know!

Over Easy - Two college aged girls get infested by alien parasites and become egg breeders (currently in progress).

The Lump - A woman gets infested by beetles and is turned into their nest.

Repopulated - The aliens invade with slug-like creatures and begin to take victims for unknown experimentation.

Mars Needs Milkers - Cow aliens abduct a couple and turn them into breeding cows.

Bull Moon - Two women get involved with the Bull/Minotaur demon, Hygraxus, who slowly corrupts them into his cows.

The Milking Hour - Katy has just reached the age of maturation in her family of cows. She desperately wants to be a cow, but her family wants her to consider her other options. This goes off the rails when a lab, who's experimenting on cows, starts experimenting upon her.

There's more details in my outlines, but that should suffice for now. This year should be super interesting!

A Very Merry Christmas Update - The Rubber Order: Sanctification

I just finished the cover of my next story today - 'The Rubber Order: Sanctification.' You can see it below!

This will be the second entry in 'The Rubber Order' universe, sharing elements from my first 'Rubber Order' novella. None of the same characters will be shared, however, and this is a standalone entry in that universe, so it's not necessary to read the first story to understand this one.

I've struggled a bit with this story so far, as it's definitively not going to be a stroke story. It will be chock full of fetish elements and bondage, but at its heart, it's a thriller, through and through, dabbling a little bit on the horror side of things.

I'm not even certain at this point whether fans of the first novella will like this one, but I'm not going to change directions now!

This go around, the main character will be a failed rubber nun trainee, whose husband accidentally died during rubber bondage training. The events are going to be pretty brutal - this time I'm not holding back any punches.

So far, this story is at about ~34K in, and there are about 3-ish more large scenes to go. That means this will likely also end up novella length like the first one, which pegs it at around a late January release. No promises, of course, but I doubt it should take much longer than that.

After this project is wrapped, I don't have a definite direction to move in, but I have some shorter story ideas down that I would like to take for a drive. Whether those turn into an anthology or something else, I'm not sure as of yet.

What I do know is that I would like to delve back into some hard core squicky stuff - insect parasites, alien monsters, that sort of thing. For fans of erotic horror, these shorts will hopefully scratch that itch. 

It just remains to be seen whether I can come up with enough fun plots! I already have one that will work for sure, but I'm not so certain about the others yet.

I'll reveal more about these ideas once I'm closer to the release of this novella, so stay tuned around the same time next month.

In the meantime, a very Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Have a Happy New Year!

'Doll Factory' has been released!

My latest novel, 'Doll Factory,' is now available on Amazon and KDP!

Here's the link:

Doll Factory - Kindle edition by Waters, Caroline. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

Story Tags

MC (Mind Control), MF (Male/Female Sex), FF (Female/Female Sex), FD (Female Dominant), FT (Fetish), Bondage, Rubber, Transformation, Doll

This is primarily a lesbian fic, though there are a handful of sex scenes between a married couple intermixed. There are a lot of rubbery bondage/conversion scenes involved, if you're into that!

Synopsis

"As a SERIOUS person, nobody has been able to find a way to treat Hannah’s depression. Desperate to be HAPPY and find her Mistress, she submits herself to an experimental protocol to change herself into a rubber coated DOLL.

As she rediscovers her sexuality with another female DOLL, she struggles to reconcile the various forces that are vying to bring her under their thumb. While being a DOLL may be sublime, deciding how and where she should submit is not so simple.

If she chooses wrong, she might very well become a weapon used to take down all of HAPPY society, including her prospective Mistress.

That fate may already be impossible to avoid, as the DOLLs are reproducing rapidly. The day of DOLLs may soon be upon us."

Doll Factory - Late November Update

Today I finished the first draft of my next novel - 'Doll Factory.' It ran on longer than I had anticipated, landing somewhere around 91K words.

Unfortunately, this means it's going to take longer to edit than it otherwise would. I'm not exactly certain when I'll be able to get through it, but I can promise that it will be released before the end of the year.

I ended up writing a second version of the author's notes and synopsis because I wasn't certain I liked what I had so far. I'll have to determine which version I like the best before release (or perhaps combine the two!)

There will be plenty of bondage predicaments and DOLL conversions to be had when I'm done, so please look forward to it!

Here's a preview of the cover to tide you over until then:

Upcoming Projects

I've looked through my list of story ideas, and I think it's finally time to write the next entry in 'The Rubber Order' series. I've been wanting to re-visit my world of rubber nuns for a while, and I think this is a good opportunity to do so.

This won't be a true sequel, but it will be set in the same universe as my initial novella. I suspect that this one may turn out to be novel length, and if that's true, it's very likely I won't be done with it until sometime in February, at the soonest.

Something to look forward to in 2023!

My next blog update should be when I release 'Doll Factory,' so stay tuned for that!

'Hot Pressed' has been released!

I'm pleased to announce that my first non-erotic fantasy novel, 'Hot Pressed,' has finally been released for publication! (If you're interested in 'Doll Factory,' that one is still being written, I'll have a short update on it at the bottom).

Hot Pressed - Kindle edition by Stockton, James Reed. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

I've released the book under a different pen name, so as to properly separate my different offerings, as I do eventually plan on writing more mainstream novels in the future. Never fear, however, I don't have any plans on deserting my erotic offerings... they are simply different projects, and I never quite know which story idea will be more compelling to work on, or where they might fit in. Today I might be writing more erotica, but in the future I might write more sci-fi and fantasy, depending on what I feel like.

It's been a long journey to get to this point, as the genesis of the idea for this novel came around 2016. At that time, I wrote about 30-40K words, but there it stalled for quite some time. I only picked it up again in 2021, working on it at the same time as 'The Rubber Order', and I believe it was finished a few months after that novella released.

It then languished in editing for another year before I finally had the opportunity to pick it up again recently and get it finished. Significant work needed to be done to create a paperback, as I've never put one of those together (I have notes on this process that I might release as a separate blog post at another time).

Now, it's finally here, my debut novel! Let's dive right in to the details!

Synopsis

"Namzu’s solitary life as a spy ended when a Remenkhemi airship visited the dusty streets of Subartu. The mysterious men and women they sent to find new soldiers to bolster their nation wore metallic animal masks that represented their gods.

Soon after stealing a set of armlets from them, a regal snake goddess took up residence in her head, demanding her loyalty in exchange for information about her past. Worse, she finds that the goddess’ power is changing her, making her more snakelike with every passing moment.

Escaping the city with the King’s guard in hot pursuit, she finds herself mixed up in the power struggles of gods and men alike. Remenkhemi needs a new heir, and her heritage lands her directly in line for the throne.

There are those who seek to use her, including the goddess. It will take all of her wits to navigate the narrow path between faith and family, lest she lose everything she holds dear."

Doll Factory

I did promise a short update on this story, didn't I?

Well, there's not too much to report beyond the fact that it's well into writing. Currently sitting at 65K words, I know for certain that it will be another novel.

It's shaping up pretty well so far, though I've hit a bit of a doldrums with my writing. I think it'll get better once I figure out how to close out the current scene.

The question is, how much more remains? There's about one to two and a half more major scenes to write, then an epilogue. I'm guessing roughly that's going to be 80K max?

That would put completion at around two weeks from now, at which point it will go into editing. I'm guessing a late November release at this point unless something changes on my schedule.

I'm currently posting here monthly, so I'll post an update next month with the progress - or, with any luck, with a release post! Cheers!

'Trancemaker' has been released!

I'm pleased to announce that my latest novel, 'Trancemaker,' is now available on Amazon KDP!

Synopsis

"Kai quit her high-powered job as a lawyer to become a full-time live-in slave for her Master. However, she doesn’t remember how she acquired this Master, and she still isn’t certain why a tattoo is being inscribed on her belly around a ruby red gem.

Her cybergothic friend might help her to discover these answers, but there’s a cost - she’ll be required to visit her club and be dressed as a goth herself. That is the only way she’ll be accepted by the resident Pathwalker and shown her possible futures.

The fae's help does not guarantee success, but failure will ensure that she becomes a jewel slave to a fae lord.

Embracing her new gothic style and potential elf suitor might be the only way for her to navigate the shadowy paranormal world which mirrors our own."

Trancemaker Update V3 and Doll Factory Mk 1!

It hasn't been a month since my last post, but there's a fair bit to show off, so here we go!

Trancemaker

As I mentioned last time, I wasn't satisfied with my cover for 'Trancemaker,' so I've given it another shot, replacing the background and font. An icy background didn't make sense given the fiery themes contained within the novel. Now, at least, it's more neutral and fits the aesthetic without seeming incredibly out of place. I'm happier with it now, so this will likely be the final version:

I'm currently 15 pages into editing this novel, and at ~175 pages total, using an estimate of 5 pages/day, that puts the release for this book sometime around early October. This release date may shift as I continue working on it, but I think that's a reasonable deadline.

Given the gothic themes, an October release would fit, but I have enough ongoing projects that I just want it done! The perils of writing too many things!

Doll Factory

From the (very) limited input I've received, I've begun work on my next story, 'Doll Factory.' It has already breached ~14K words, and appears set to become a novella based on the current outline (unless something significantly changes like it did with Trancemaker!)

This one will have a lot more lesbian elements to it, though there is certainly also going to be some vanilla sex contained within it as well (I'm already in the middle of writing that scene!)

Additionally, I've also put together a cover for this novella, which I am fairly pleased with:

I've just written a synopsis as well (see below). It's time for the rubber dolls to shine!

Doll Factory Synopsis

As a SERIOUS person, nobody has been able to find a way to treat Hannah’s depression. Desperate to be HAPPY, she submits herself to an experimental protocol to change herself into a rubber coated DOLL.

With her new DOLL companions, safe in her faceless rubber shell, she is slated to serve her Mistress in HAPPY society, sealed away from the ravages of the SERIOUS virus.

While she would be quite happy with this existence, one of the developers of the process has plans to solve the SERIOUS problem entirely - plans that will require her to acquire and create far more rubber DOLLs.

As the factory churns to life, the day of the DOLLs will soon be upon us.

Trancemaker Update V2

I thought I'd jot down a quick note now that I know how things are shaping up with Trancemaker. I originally thought that this would be a novella, but the muse does what it wants, and now it's at about 67K words/162 pages.

In theory, this is where I'd stop, as I've just finished writing the epilogue, but a few days ago I had an exciting/hot idea for a post epilogue sequence, and since I'm so close to novel length, I don't see any reason not to include it.

Besides, I think it will round out the book and give it that extra oomph it so much deserves to have.

At any rate, that means this 'novella' has now been promoted to novel length. As a result, that means the next story will be pushed out a bit while I work through the final ending for this piece. The release for 'Trancemaker' will likely be late September at the soonest.

Additionally, I've decided I don't like the font I selected for the cover, so I'm going to have to go through that process again until I find something I like better. That shouldn't slow down the release any, but it's yet another thing on the TO-DO list!

After taking an informal poll (of the two people who responded to me) on the mind control story literature discord, I'm currently thinking my next project will be 'Doll Factory,' a delightful little tale of mind controlled women being turned into rubber drones so that they can be altered enough to fit into HAPPY society. I just hope this one doesn't sprout legs and turn into a novel, too!

The good news there is that I have enough left over stock photos from DepositPhotos that I should be set for the near future. I thoroughly dislike the requirement that you either pay monthly, or buy 100 photos which need to be downloaded in the span of a year before the download license expires.

There was also the hard sell about half way into the subscription where they try to get you to upgrade to a more expensive plan, which really stuck in my craw. Fortunately, that forced me to go find a set of interesting photos to use at the beginning of the year, so I should have plenty for the near future.

I must confess I far more enjoy the process of isolating and blending photos together than I do trying to find them. I always find it a drag to search through pages and pages of dreck to find that one diamond in the rough. Ah well, that's one of the perils of doing it all yourself, I suppose!

Trancemaker Update

There isn't a significant amount to report at the moment, but I figured I'd jot out something quick so that everyone will know that I'm still making progress!!

Trancemaker has made it to around ~58,000 words now, which means it's flirting with novel length. However, I am very close to finishing up the last scene, which leaves only an epilogue to complete.

That means I should be done with the first draft by the end of next week, and then it will go into editing. I know by now not to promise any timelines in particular for editing, but I tend to do more than I intend once I get into a groove, so it seems likely the novella will be released mid-September.

Once that has been completed, I have two stories fully plotted, and I haven't decided which one to work on next - 'The Rubber Order: Sanctification,' which has been on the back burner longer than I'd like and involves rubber nuns, or 'Doll Factory,' which involves a large amount of latex dolls/dollification.

Yes, both stories are going to have heavy rubber this go around. Maybe I'm rubber banding back to old habits after trying to write something a bit more tame? (Joke intended!)

At any rate, those are the two ideas on my pile. If anyone has a preference, feel free to comment below!

These things are always subject to change, of course, in case I get an even better idea between now and then, but there's no way to predict that! And I'm starting to run out of time... !
