In the throes of all of the challenges in my life right now, I’m experiencing creative burnout. When this happens, I end up reading a lot more, and I keep my creative muscles flexing with short erotica. Smut is one of my safe happy places, and shorts give that finishing-a-project satisfaction that is a lot longer haul with novels and serials.

Patreon has a shop now, which means I’ve been able to move my epubs there, giving me a lot more wiggle room and freedom with my spicier backlist. I decided since I was doing a big shuffle anyway that I’d experiment with a smutty Substack, because why not?

Hence the birth of Hurricane After Dark. Each post is a separate one of my stories, and I’m going to be posting one a month to make sure I’m meeting some kind of writing goal while I’m working through the bullshit in the real world. My Patrons will be getting one a month as well (thank you for sticking with me even when I’m shit at producing, I love you all so so much!), and the Eye of the Storm tier gets the epub included with the subscription.

So HAD will be a paid Substack, with all the nasty bits behind the paywall. It’s $2.00 cheaper than the Patreon tier because these won’t be ebooks. If you want epub versions of these to have for your own, those are only available there.

This filthy little tale is free for anyone who wants to whet their whistle…

And a brand-new novelette called Choke Hold will release to paid subscribers on Friday, April 11th, yay! It’s reverse harem, and required me to draw literal diagrams to keep track of all of the, erm…limbs involved.

If you’re curious about the kind of erotica I like to write, my CWs and Disclaimers page covers this. I’m always open to questions and comments too, so don’t hesitate to ask!

The Eye of the Storm (the newsletter, not the Patreon tier, why did I do this to myself?) will always be a free newsletter! I’ll still be posting articles and non-smut fiction here as usual, when I can because again, crushing burnout. Hurricane Reviews will continue like gangbusters because reading and listening to audiobooks is pretty much the only thing keeping me sane at all right now.

So if you’re interested in book ramblings and/or filthy smut, you know where to find me!
