Post Vacation Update

During the break, I was both able to accomplish more, and less than I had anticipated.

I was able to keep up my writing while I was out, and finished the 'Repopulated' novel. However, I wasn't really able to get any editing done, and a large part of this I blame on Covid, which hit me like a ton of bricks as soon as I arrived at my destination.

On some days, even writing seemed like too much of a bother, which was really rather annoying to me. Blegh.

I'm still dealing with a lot of the aftereffects of that nastiness, so it's hard to promise anything in particular (the symptom list from that virus is truly horrifying). It didn't help that it triggered a couple of migraines, either, making it more difficult to get back on my feet.

Well, putting all that aside, I have been fairly productive recently.

Within the last few days, I've written an erotic horror story titled 'Shadow Play,' which I'm planning on releasing online before Halloween. That should be prepped and ready to go for MCStories and Literotica this weekend.

Since I just finished writing that, I need to figure out what I'm going to start working on tomorrow. I was originally spitballing some tie-ins to 'Repopulated,' but I'm having some serious misgivings on how I want to handle that novel in general.

That book has somewhat sensitive material in it, since it's more or less all about dickgirls, which in general has more of a niche audience than the other stuff I've released. That being the case, I'm debating whether it's a good fit for Amazon at all.

Once I've finished an editing pass, I might just consider releasing it entirely for free (not sure when editing will be done on that one!)

If I decide to do that, there isn't really much of an incentive to write any spin-offs in the same universe, as the whole point of doing that would be to drum up interest in the main universe.

Well, that hasn't been decided yet. Nothing's been decided yet! It's all a mystery to me!

The next few weeks are liable to be a rather wacky ride from beginning to end, but in general I think the end result is that I'll be posting more short stories for free. Stay tuned for more news here!

Before Vacation Update

I was seriously hoping that I would be finished with Repopulated by now, but it's sitting at 65K and by all accounts it will soon be novel length. I am working on the epilogue, and have a good idea on how to end it. Unfortunately, that 'good' idea is going to stretch the length somewhat (but since it'll make the ending more satisfying, it feels worth it to me!)

I'm of two minds about this, because although I personally enjoy futa girls, I suspect the audience for this kind of smut won't be as large as for the other works I've posted the last four months. I'm definitely not going to get out of this story what I put into it!

Oh well. At least I will have done the plot justice, and that's all that matters (I'll continue to convince myself that this is indeed the case).

That being said, if I'm lucky, I'm hoping that I'll be able to get the novel complete before I go on vacation next week. If not, I'm not certain whether I'll be able to get it edited before I get back. I will have to be mindful of my locations as I doubt the other passengers on the plane would be down with me reading lewd smut while travelling. Ah, well.

At any rate, the next story I have planned I've tentatively titled 'Symbiote Sublimation,' which will be a side story that takes place during this novel. The goal is to release that one for free online at the same time I get the novel published on Amazon.

With everything happening between now and then, I don't think my next release will occur until the end of the month at the soonest. It's far likelier that I'll be pushing out these new stories at the beginning of November.

See you all then!

Mid September Update

This seems like a good time for an update, since it's mid month and I'm coming in off the heels of the release of my short at the beginning of the month.

I'm making good progress on my next story, 'Repopulated.' According to the outline, I'm about 70% of the way through, but I'm not sure whether I believe it.

Unlike my last story, it's jam packed full of explicit dickgirl sex, so if that's your sort of thing, I'm going all in on it this time.

I also have a scene I decided to drop that might make for an interesting one off short after the story is complete to drum up interest in the main story line. I'm vaguely considering writing that and posting it for free around when the story is out on Amazon.

I kind of like that idea, but we'll see how I feel about it once I get to the end of the story!

If I can finish in ~10K words I'll release this as a short, but otherwise it'll probably be a novella. It's hard to say exactly which way it's going to swing at the moment - I never really know until I get closer.

If I can keep up this rate of progress I might hit something unprecedented for me - a release every month since June, which would be insane. Insanely awesome, that is!

Here's the first draft of the Synopsis to whet your appetite! Look forward to it!

Repopulated Synopsis

"Katie’s dull job as a barista abruptly ends when the aliens decide to invade, shutting down the city. Terror hits the streets as slug-like aliens begin to control the local populace, leaving her to fend for herself along with her lover, Jackie, as they do their best to dodge the alien’s insidious control.

Their escape is short lived, however, and they soon find themselves captured and dominated, wearing new alien organs that serve to enhance their sexual functions. Overwhelmed with pleasure, they explore each other’s bodies, learning more about themselves and their master’s future plans for the human race.

Resisting their influence was never an option. The only way to make a new future for each other is to accept the changes and thread a subversive path in order to find a way to overthrow their new alien overlords - or submit to the rapture and accept that their struggle will soon be over."

'Bugged Out' has been released! (+ 'Bull Moon' price reduction!)

I'm pleased to announce that 'Bugged Out' has been released on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited!

Amazon.com: Bugged Out eBook : Waters, Caroline

You might notice that this story doesn't have any smut in it. Does that mean I'm getting away from writing smut? No, not at all. I just didn't feel like this one needed it. It's heavy into transformation and mind control, with a side of body horror.

On a side note, I've dropped the price for 'Bull Moon' from 5$ to 4$. I haven't been all that comfortable with the price of that story lately, so I decided to bring it in line with the price of 'Droneship.' If you haven't given it a read yet, I do recommend it! There's plenty of breast expansion, milking, and demon cow transformation fun to be had!

Synopsis

Going on a hike with her friend shouldn’t have been this frightening. Lori might not like her friend’s choice in husbands, and his dog was more than a little annoying, but spending time in the fresh air usually was a rejuvenating experience.

Sure, there was always the chance of an encounter with wild animals, but she hadn’t expected to be confronted by a stranger that looked like he had a gigantic beetle lodged in his throat.

And she certainly hadn’t expected a beetle parasite to embed itself in her brain, telling her where to go and what to do.

As her body is slowly converted into a beetle hybrid, she struggles to understand the sarcophagus sent to her in a vision. Its brightly colored death mask and the paintings on the walls must mean something, but only her friend holds the key.

Perhaps some of the beetles nesting in her body can convince Pastel to tell the truth - before the Doom seizes them all!

First draft of 'Bugged Out' has been completed!

My next story, 'Bugged Out,' is ready for editing, coming in at around 37K words. I'm going to sell this one as a 'short', which is somewhat laughable given how long it is. I'm also considering lowering the price for 'Bull Moon' by a dollar as well, to get it in line with 'Droneship,' which has done rather better than I had expected.

Stay tuned for an announcement on that when I get this story released, which will likely be either the week of the 3rd or the 10th. At the moment, I think it's more likely to happen earlier, but plans can always change depending on how the editing goes.

This story is derived from the list of story outlines I put together December of last year. There are three additional story outlines from that time that I haven't gotten to yet, and I think I've decided that the next one will be 'Repopulated,' a small, fun tale about an alien invasion with slug like parasites.

In some ways, that might be considered similar to this story, but 'Bugged Out' has something unusual about it, which readers may not like - it's a pure parasite/MC story, but there are no smutty elements involved with it.

I'm not sure when I realized that was where it was headed, but once I was halfway done, I decided it didn't really need any of those elements. Does that make it a weaker story? Possibly, but I'll let the readers be the judge of that.

Effectively, it's all about the body horror and the mind control, so I leaned into that as hard as I could. I think, overall, it has some interesting twists, so I do hope that my regular fans will enjoy it!

As far as that goes, I consider this to be an experiment, one which may or may not be repeated depending upon how successful it is and where my muse takes me. I'm excited to get it done and released!

'Droneship' has been released!

 I have published a new novella about robots/drones & mind control!

MC, MF, FD, Fetish, Latex, Drones/Robots, Transformation

Synopsis

"Proxima Nine is a long way to travel to a resort world with acquaintances she doesn’t know well, but Hazel has secret plans to use their destination to increase her own virtual fan base. This gets upended when their cruise liner is picked up by a patrol vessel and everyone is removed for a customs check.
This is no military vessel, however, as all of the agents are wearing skintight latex dronesuits, which have long since been outlawed by the AI Accords. Soon, they are being chased through maintenance tunnels, doing their best to avoid being trapped and converted into brainless drones by a ruthless AI, which will stop at nothing to protect its existence.

As she learns more about its goals, however, she finds it increasingly difficult to resist the allure of the drones around her. Conforming with them seems so much more pleasurable than resisting, especially when the machine promises her the power she desires."

'Droneship' editing has been completed!

Because I am nuts, I finished the editing for Droneship within three days. That was more of a marathon than I was counting on, but it's done!

I'll be doing the formatting tomorrow, and submitting it to Amazon on Thursday. That could mean for a Friday release date. Look forward to my next post where I announce the details!

First draft of 'Droneship' has been completed!

I'm excited to announce that I have completed the first draft of my next novella, 'Droneship!'

Coming in at 60K words, it's almost closer to a novel than a novella, but since I released my last book with novel pricing, I'm going to compromise and release this one with novella pricing. This probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but in some way I feel like I'm 'squaring' something in my mind!

At 144 pages, this is practically as long as 'Bull Moon' in many respects, so I consider it likely that it will take a full week to edit, if I really put my nose to the grindstone. No promises, but I would like to aim for a release somewhere the week of the 14th. That might come earlier or slip a bit depending on how fast I can get through it.

This story was a product of me wanting to spend some more time brainwashing people into robotic drones (always a lot of fun). I couldn't resist the story idea after I outlined it, so I slipped it into the schedule. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about my other story ideas.

In fact, the next one on the docket is more of a buggy/squicky/horror story that I mentioned at the beginning of the year, previously titled 'The Lump.' I decided that was a lame title, so going forward, I'm going to call it 'Bugged Out,' and it will be a nasty little tale about women getting taken over by beetle-like parasite creatures and turned into their breeding nests. Less sex and more mind control/horror this go around.

I already have the cover art finished for this one, but I've decided going forward that I'm only going to release cover art after a book has been accepted by Amazon, as I don't want to start advertising too soon.

Switching back to 'Droneship', below is the synopsis I've cooked up. It's subject to change before release, of course, but it should give you an idea of what awaits!

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."

'Bull Moon' editing has been completed!

The final editing for 'Bull Moon' has been completed and the formatting is done. I shall be submitting it to Amazon tomorrow morning, and I expect it to be available sometime Wednesday, depending on how fast it goes through the review process.

First draft of 'Bull Moon' has been completed!

Writing at about double my usual pace since last week, I've managed to complete 'Bull Moon' in about half the time I was expecting. It came in at about 63K words, which is close enough to novel length that I'm currently planning on charging novel price for it.

Since my last novel was about 100K, I consider this to be pretty fair. I tend to write long, and I spend a lot of time doing this, so sometimes that's just the way it's got to work out.

That being said, I'm going to take a short break before I start on the editing, as there is a solid ~150 pages to get through. In the meantime, I'll be starting my next story, 'Droneship,' a fun tale about a robot ship that turns its female passengers into robotic drones with the help of various bondage and interfacing devices.

I'm hoping to get 'Bull Moon' out before the end of the month, so stay tuned!

Late June Update

Target of Corruption has done fairly well for me this month (vs my past ebooks). Thanks to everyone who has purchased or read it so far!

A very special thanks to the anonymous person who left a review! After self publishing eight novels, five novellas, and one short story, it's only the second one I've ever received, which is kind of a bummer! If you find that you like what I write, consider leaving one, it really helps, and it makes me feel good about all the work I do to produce these stories!

I'm currently in the middle of my next story, titled 'Bull Moon,' involving summoning rituals, latex/goth/cow transformations, demon bulls, and plenty of breeding (with some breast expansion and milking to boot!)  Currently, it's shaping up to be a novella, and I'm already close to 40K words in. Given that, I expect it to be done at around 50-55K, and depending on how it all goes, it may be ready for a mid July release.

Here's the preliminary synopsis below, to whet your appetite!
