Hello Dreamers

I have a goal of publishing 3 books per year. Fast enough to supply content while maintaining some quality. Leave raw speed to AI - for stories that will be truly mind-blowing, thought-provoking, and unique a human still has the advantage.
With that said, here is the current roadmap for what is being made this year.
Beckoning of the Stars

The long waited sequel to my most popular book: Whispers of the Abyss. Beckoning from the Stars follows Detective Frances Clark as her life and world get rug-pulled from under her, being dragged into the occult from having to solve the murder of stock broker, Walter Keller. The spark that throws her into the realm within the Dreamweaver of Tides, pinning her in a love triangle between an occult expert and a eldritch abomination known as the Abyssal Star.
Expect this Lovecraftian horror/erotica to be launched this May. I know I stated April before, but life got in the way and I need to finish up the current rounds of editing before hiring a professional.
Migration of the Space Whale (working title)

A story inspired by the website's dashboard telling me my website shows up on google searches for 'space whale expedition novel' and 'space whale migration novel.'

Lets give the people what they want!
An experience meant to be a trip into the cosmos following a creature born in outerspace. Be it a pod, or a lone survivor, it would be an imaginative journey needing little tethering to reality as we understand it.
The first draft will be started soon. Aiming it to be about 50000 words - just big enough to count as a novel. Should be ready in August.
What about the 3rd Book?
Haven't quite thought that far yet, but there are options. Two of the options involve Anataya Chronicles.
Anataya Chronicles Season 1 Anthology
Some of you might have noticed that there is a section of the blog that is a series of stories. Thus far there are 3 stories that make a part of Anataya Chronicles, 2 of which are available publicly and the 3rd is the Cucking of Lord Grenadine. A 4th story is currently in the works and will be posted soon STAY TOONED.
Once there is a critcal mass of stories that are not complete smut I would assemble them into 1 book to sell as physical copies.
Another Anataya Chronicles Novelette
Wondered why the erotic romantasy got its own book when past stories did not? One was that it was smut and age verification can be a pain. But the other reason was that by the time I finished it the tale was over 10000 words. Thus I could justify it as its own book. The next installment isn't quite that big, but future ones could very well be.
Mining the Past
I have written things long before Space Whale Dreams ever became a thing. Lurking on my harddrive is everything from a zombie apocolapse in a standard, fantasy, setting, to horror-smut about a race in the underdark forced to mate with their human slaves. Some of it not quite finished and abandoned, others had little confidence in its quality.
I had more than 2 options for this.
Lovecraftian Cyberpunk
A story I've thought about involved a sci-fi, or contempary, take on The King in Yellow. Following a great old one that found itself outside of the realm of 1920s America. Imagine the play as a Youtube video pushed by the algorithm.
Whichever option will be out in November/December
Sweet dreams!
