I am a short form writer, but as I hit episode 17 I find I’m past 34,000 words! This story will easily be at 40k by the time I’m done. In this chapter, Crafting a Plan, the trio of Mother Shipton, Duncan and Naomi are about to return to face Kyoko and (hopefully) banish her forever and free Duncan for a happily ever after.

It has to be a happily ever after because it’s romance-ish, but I am very tempted to kill off everyone at the end just for fun. Maybe that’s what Shakespeare was thinking when he wrote Romeo and Juliet?

“There is far too much sentiment in this story. Everybody dies.”


This is my paranormal romance about an incubus named Duncan who is too tired to perform and a witch with an itch in the middle of a mid-life meltdown. Duncan was conjured to be a hot date but things start off luke warm when the distance between his lack and her lust seem too big to straddle… until Duncan’s ex-girlfiend tracks them down.

The first three chapters are always free to read on Amazon here.
