Knitting plays a big role in the Masters of the Manor series. Not only is there a weekly knitting circle held at the Knightley Read, Mina’s from Pie & Punishment book shop, but the Masters themselves have formed their own little knitting circle. Here are some of the characters’ favorite knitting patterns; things they have…
It’s Halloween, and the Manor is having another masquerade! Callie returns to spend another night with her secret Valentine – who’s been pining for her for a long time. This is a continuation of Craving the Crop and takes place later in the story, which will be released as a novella later this year (hopefully)….
*Mushu voice* I’m baaaaaaack! CW: discussion of health, dieting, weight loss, mental health issues I published my last blog post on here in 2022. Huh. I wish I could say I had written a book or two since then, but no. I’ve put my writing aside and focused on something else: my health. I wish…
It’s almost Halloween, which means it’s the season for Monster Romance and Fuckery! At first, I wanted to write another installment of Craving the Crop, but my brain refused cooperation. It wanted this: a morally gray warlock, a werewolf, an eldritch abomination and one hapless human right in the middle. Fun! This story contains monster…
The Manor is having a Valentine’s Masquerade! It’s Callie’s first time at the exclusive kink club, and when she collides with a masked, sexy stranger, she jumps at the opportunity to feel his crop against her skin and explore one of her secret fantasies. This story contains elements of D/s, impact play, and graphic sexual…
What’s this? A recipe? Why? I’m not changing gears, don’t worry. But as I’m publishing my next book Pie & Punishment in January (SO SOON!), I thought I’d honor the occasion with my favorite pie recipe. Alright, it’s not exactly a pie. It’s a traditional cake named after the Austrian city Linz, and has been…
It’s almost Halloween, and the season of spooky comes to an end. I’m going to miss it, but thankfully, there are sexy books to indulge in the shivery feeling of fear all year round. Fear can be a great aphrodisiac, as long as you feel actually safe while experiencing the kick of adrenaline. Playing with…
Age-gap romances are a whole category of their own inside the romance genre. I can either eat them up like candy or sneak a peek and run the other way. It depends on the specific constellation in the book in question, but maybe some of it depends on my own biases, too. It’s a complicated…
Once in a while, I crave dark romance. Not often, mind. It’s a sudden thirst, and one or two books later it’s already sated. I don’t know what speaks to me, or which deep, weird corner of my mind needs this fix. But there it is. When I discovered this gem, I wasn’t even looking…
King Who? Whenever someone asked me what my favorite fairy tale was, I would answer “King Thrushbeard.” It’s a lesser known little tale that has nothing to do with STDs and no, it isn’t another name for Bluebeard either, although there might be similarities in its theme. Today, my answer to the question above would…
