My First Book in 2 Years is Out!

Two years and two days later, Sex Slaves and Warlords is now live.

36,000 out 150,000 New-Written Words

It is only 36,000 words (and there’s 3000 more in alternate scene content, on the website). However, it is just the first chunk of over 150,000 words I’ve written. The other chunks will follow (I’m hoping to release one book a month, for the next 4 months or so).

Did I need 2 years to write 150k words? Gods no. A good chunk of that was cleaning after the Great Amazon Book Blocking that killed two out three books and ended a series. Those books, in their uncensored and too-hot-for-Bezos entirety, are here and will remain here. I have no beef with Amazon over this. They have boundaries and I crossed them. In a (small) way it has been good for my writing — I now know where the line is. Instead of self-censoring, I can just put the super racy stuff on the website as alternate scenes.

Why did I write 150k words just to put out 30k for the first book? Well, because the books are better when I can manage them all as a single project. Things that happen in one book might need changes made in an earlier one. Ideas at the start may not be as interesting as ideas that emerge later — and would require re-writing.

The cost though, is that it takes a long time.

Also, its not done at 150k. I took stock at that point and figured nope; this thing is going to top out at 300k! I figured waiting till 2026 was a dumb idea and that I should start getting these books out without precious about them. Halfway through, there’s nothing much I think that will change. Not a good enough reason to keep these to myself.

Sharing it With Fellow Hyperboreans

Keeping it to myself is exactly how this has felt. So much has happened on Hyperborea! I have to fill you in on this.

As you may remember, Gerard picked a big fight. There’s been consequences, but he had a point. Dura is now at war with the Deep Ones (I’ve working towards this since 2021).

There’s other factions Gerard has to deal with. Shemite city-state of Starka is not pleased and they are moving to check Dura’s power. Their poweful ally, Marna, a city on the coastline of Shem, is getting involved. There is also the Hataduri farming garrison - a prelude, if unchecked, to further colonization. Last of course, there is are the Wakers of Azathoth:

““We are the Wakers of Azathoth. You are the first outsider to hear our name. Please accept that as the greatest compliment, Butcher. Our plans extend from the choking ruins of Armanea to Dura to Starka. All this river will be ours. We will wake Azathoth, and he will end the world! Thank you for your help, Butcher. We will speak again.””

Enjoy the read and thank you for coming with me on this journey. It has been wild!

Community: I started a Discord

Over the years I've talked to many readers. I've been delighted to find how thoughtful, respectful, and kind they are. We may as well have a community yes? Here you go:

As an incentive, in the Discord under the “Hyperborea” board, I have put up the first chaper (6000+ words) of Book 4 of the Sex Slaves series, Raiders and Sex Slaves :) .

Enjoy, and welcome aboard!

Happy New Year! Writing Update on Book 4 of Sex Slaves of Hyperborea

Hey there, and Happy New Year Hyperboreans!

Just wanted to give you an update.

Book 4 of Sex Slaves for Hyperborea is Going Strong

You’ve read three books that have been building up to what I have been waiting (for years now) to write. Gerard will be leaving Dura to go to war. He’s in trouble in Dura; he has Caral to find; and he’s realized wealth and power don’t give him the luxury of ignoring Hyperborea. He’s gone from playboy to player character. Game on.

The book is 29k words long already; 50% longer than Books 1 and 2. Let’s see what happens but I think it might beat Book 3 for length.

A Hyperborean Warband

I’m also keen to write a new series about a small, Hyperborean warband. It won’t start till I finish Book 4 (or even the entire Sex Slaves series!), but the idea won’t go away and its a definite next step on my own writing journey.

The stories would be in 3rd Person or close 3rd, and focus on the various men in warband and the slave girls they capture.

The difference from the Gerard-based stories are that:

1 - The Narrator, not Gerard, would be your window into the character’s minds.

So instead of:

“her face showed that mix of emotions any girl like her did, when whipped, forced to her knees, and ordered to my cock for the first time. I was about to take away any pretenses from her that she wasn’t mine.”

You’d see something like:

"Kalena glared at him. The bastard, she thought. How dare he? I will bite off his cock and spit it in his face! Even as she thought this, the heat between her legs grew even more. She looked down. How can I feel this way?

Her eyes went to the whip in his hands.

His knuckles around it whitened.

Terror sparked and shot up through her spine. Heart pounding in her ears, she opened her mouth and leaned forward. She closed her lips around his cock. It was hot, radiating. She tasted the salt of his sweat. She found herself smiling; then came the shame at that. She closed her eyes - the shame dulled.

The chain at her throat went taut as he pulled her close. His cock forced her tongue down, and pushed up against her tonsils.

“Serve, Slave,” he ordered. His voice sent another chill of terror up her spine, ending in excitement, her heart racing. “Serve ike a brothel cage whore. Or, I will put you back on the cross.”

Yes, Master, she thought, and began rocking her head back and forth.

2 - The POV / ‘Camera’ would follow the character with the greatest stake in a chapter

If the young blood warrior is fighting for a woman against an arrogant, smug, senior warrior, it will follow the young blood’s perspective. If (when!) a slave girl is being dragged to the branding table, it will be in her mind that we see the iron being prepared, her flesh bared, and then the marking.

3 - There will be more focus on character interactions

How does A feel about B? B about C? What teacher-student, elder-younger brother relationships drive the warband? What jealousies and grudges threaten it? There is also the ‘secret’ world of slave girl interactions. What do they do when the masters aren’t looking? What are their rivalries / sisterhoods like, and how far are they directed by their owners?

AI Art Generation

I’ve been learning how to us Stable Diffusion. The technology is changing so fast, every time I set at the computer to have another go, I do so as practically a complete newb.

However, it opens up great possibilities for presenting Hyperborea.

The women showed in this blogpost are not real. All these images were generated. Not by me, but hopefully I will soon be able to do generate comparable quality, soon. The catch is that this comes at the expense of writing time. Whenever possible, I prefer to be writing.

And that’s it. Back to work for me, and have a great year!
