Beyond Romance

June 24, 2024

Hello everyone.

It may be the last week of pride month, but my boy love stories will continue all year long. :) I recently had someone tell me how much they love my werewolf stories. In the same breath they said they didn't like my "gay" books." I think a lot of things in response but most of them boil down to one concept. That choice is perfectly okay.

Variety is the spice of life or so I've heard. When it comes to reading I feel strongly about all styles and topics being welcome. The choice of what we fill our dreams with shouldn't be dictated by any other. (In the grander scheme of things I do add the addendum that everything should be allowed that doesn't hurt any other.) But inside the pages of a book, should exist every type of genre, character, and story. Where else should we learn about people and situations that don't exist in our everyday lives?

This episode of the Beyond will be a little short with some overlap from last week. The mister and I took a week long vacation to celebrate 25 years of marriage and today is our first day back at "work". Today's goals include work on the next wolfie book, the usual farm chores... and 8 hours at the day job.

Read more variety. Find something new to love.

Shifter Romance

My werewolf stories tend to be action based male/female committed love stories. They will often involve strong family bonds and show characters overcoming painful pasts in order to find love.

Vampires and Demons

My demon and vampire stories tend to be spicy and sexy, full of passion and danger. These could be male/female, male/male, or and variety of pairings that the characters enjoy.

Sweet Paranormal

Yes, I do write some sweet stories too. These are often short stories and can showcase a more innocent kind of romance that will usually still result in a sweeter kind of passion.
