The third installment in the Go Away Girls series is now live! Click here to buy or check out my shop here on the blog! This one was a bit of a struggle as it was my Camp NaNoWriMo project but I think it turned out pretty good!
The third book in my Go Away Girls series is almost finished! It’s way overdue and I think it turned out pretty cool. Here’s what I’m considering as my blurb:
In the aftermath of the epidemic of the drug ‘Flight,’ Katherine and Audrey were hoping for things to go back to normal. However, some of Audrey’s fellow members of the Temple of the Great Mother have not been in contact and several prostitutes have gone missing from brothels in Trixa. Katherine and her friends work to hunt down the kidnappers and bring the missing people home.
This book/series features LGBTQ+ and BIPOC characters. I am hoping for this book to be done in the next couple days and of course, I’ll update when it’s live!
I am picking at the edits for the next Go Away Girls book that I’ve decided to settle on calling “Vanished” (unless I hit on something better in the editing process). There’s a bunch of stuff I put in the outline that didn’t make it into the first rough draft that I feel will make the story much better so, I’m working on ironing out what I did get down before I start including that stuff.
“Vanished” will be the third book in the series. You can check out the first one here or here (contains adult material, be 18+ to read), or check out a different one of my lesbian fantasy stories here, here, here, or here.
Hope you’ll check them out and I’ll hopefully be updating again soon!

Nozue is feeling like he’s in a rut. He may be the oldest and most popular person in his office job but all he does is go to work and come home. When speaking with his coworker, Togawa, the younger man decides to help with what he calls “andropause” by helping Nozue experience more of life. Togawa’s intentions are kind but it is clear he has a crush on the older man.
This is a fun May/December romance. There are some intimate scenes but they’re not super graphic. Togawa is the stern type, doing a poor job at hiding his feelings, and Nozue is the oblivious one who needs a roadmap to see he’s the target of a crush. As they come together, we get some nice slice of life moments. It’s nice to see older characters – even though 40 is hardly “old” – and it’s a quick read that makes you smile. 4 out of 5.

Angry that Rin is attached to a human, a fox spirit named Tenko attacks Chiharu; leaving Rin scared he will scare off his beloved bride.
Now, in this volume we earn out 18+ rating. There is also the issue of the prophesy and what sort of future a human can have with a god. There’s a mutual understanding and it was nice to see Rin back to his goofy self; even with the intensity of his actions in smexy times. And the art is really pretty. I love the style as it alternates between the fantastical and the mundane. 4 out of 5.

Chiharu Izunome returns to his home town in order to try and work through his writer’s block. He encounters a strange man at the train station who claims to be waiting for his bride. Chiharu’s life turns upside down when this bride turns out to be him.
Chiharu’s more realistic personality is the perfect foil to the dragon, Rin, and his idealistic energy. It gives this manga some great humor but still has space for the serious moments. It’s just plain fun to read and I can’t wait for the next one. While it’s rated explicit, there wasn’t much in the way of smut in this volume. The main point is for Rin and Chiharu to get to know each other and set up the conflict for the next volume. 4.9 out of 5.

This volume concludes Uichi and Akitora’s relationship in the flashback and returns to the present day; where they are both much more mature men. The ending is a perfect conclusion to the ride we go on through the series and it really feels earned. There’s plenty of spice for all of us naughty readers but also a great deal of sentiment. And I really like the way the art style adjusts between the younger and older characters. I’ll kinda miss this series but I’d go back and read it again. 4.7 out of 5.
The 14th Annual Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale has begun, running now through July 31! My books will be 50% off for that time so feel free to grab this deal!

Fairy Godfather Razz and troll Bon find a human child in the woods. Razz wants to try his hand at raising his own godchild from birth to make sure he can do his job effectively but Bon doesn’t trust him and refuses to just give the child up. They reach a compromise by raising the child together as a family. They have to play at being a couple at first but over time develop feelings.
This is a really cute and sweet story perfect for a quick read. It has just enough emotion to get its point across and doesn’t overplay the angst or overstay its welcome. My only problem is not getting to know as much of this world as I’d like to. Sometimes books this short can feel incomplete but here, I just liked it so much I’d like to learn more. Everything is so warm and charming that I’d love to keep going. 4.9 out of 5.
