Over the years, I've had a lot of questions asked about this world and I've done my best to post those questions since I doubt those who asked were the only ones with them.

The Daddy Tales Series Leaves Kindle Unlimited
The Daddy Tales series recently left Kindle Unlimited... and has gone to most e-book retailers.
Great news for y'all who don't buy on Amazon!
Because it's pseudo-incest, Apple Books (and Barnes and Noble, too) has declined to offer it amongst their titles, but you can find it on Amazon, the TEP site, Smashwords, Kobo, and Google Play now.

August 2024 Writing Update
Greetings y'all!
Happy August.
This summer has been an eventful one, word-wise, though not all that eventful outdoors as I'm in writing troll mode. It's too damned hot out for this asthma sufferer here in the heat and humidity of Hampton Roads, Virginia.
I need a summer place somewhere cool in the UK or Scandinavia. If only...
Here's what's in the works...
1. Someone from the top two tiers of my Patreon is chosen to "direct" a scene with any of my existing characters every other month. It can be anything, and the first guest director gave me such a cute idea for the Enchanted Ink world that one scene turned into a short novella.
Now that it's been available to my subscribers for a few weeks, I've decided to make it available to the public. My editor has it now and it will soon arrive as an ebook.
2. I'm nearly done writing His Forsaken Alpha (Omega Quadrant, 3) AND a concurrent novella (Omega Quadrant, 3.5). Both will be arriving this fall. I hope to release OQ 3 by late August/early September and then OQ 3.5 sometime thereafter, eyeing October/November.
3. I've started early work on my Tinsel & Tentacles 2.0 book—Tentacle on 34th Street. So far, I've got it outlined and a few scenes written. This one won't be long (hopefully.) I hope to have it completed by early September.
4. I'll be leaving for the Rainbow Reader's Cruise to Key West and the Bahamas on August 17th and returning by the following weekend. This is my last signing for 2024.
5. The co-writing adventure for April Andrews and I has hit a snag. She works FT and there's been a catastrophe there, so we're pausing our project until things calm down for her there.
6. After my Christmas story for T&T 2.0 is complete, I have a short 2025 charity novella to write that's due early December. It's already begun... a total pantser with no outline. EEK!
7. Speaking of charity, I have my two novellas I wrote for charity anthologies in 2024 that I need to release. Look for them to be coming soon.
7. After that I'll be moving on to Alphas of the Western Provinces, 4. I'm aiming for a Feb 2025 release date for that if all works smoothly, though we know it never does.
8. More mini-fics and fun stuff for Patreon is planned.
9. After that? IDK... more Enchanted Ink? More omegaverse? I've got a long list of SIXTY SIX books to be written, so I've got plenty for my muse to choose from.

NEW RELEASE - Squirrelified (An Enchanted Ink Story)
Squirrelified is a day-in-the-life of Colby, Ash, and Luca from Only Skin Deep (Enchanted Ink, 1). It's a cute, funny little romp around Salem, with some sweet and a dash of heat.
It was supposed to be ONE scene, but the idea my patron, Quinn, suggested was super cute and it just kind of snowballed into 16,000 words. At that length, I figured I'd pop it out for anyone who wanted another peek into the Enchanted Ink world.
Squirrelified
An Enchanted Ink Short Novella
by Kelex
When Colby learns that Ash was forcibly shifted into his squirrel side by a rogue hedgewitch and is running around the streets of Salem, possibly oblivious to his human side, the hunt is on. On the drive home from Boston, Colby and Daniel note an odd-acting squirrel on the outskirts of town and stop to snag him, only Ash isn’t being very cooperative.
Before Luca can arrive and break the spell, Ash bolts, with Colby giving chase. Can they find their mate before he disappears into the trees forever?________________________________

PALATINATE OMEGAVERSE FAQ - A 2024 Update & New Map
Old Map from 2019 |
Here's a little additional info:
The Omega Quadrant occurs in the province of Alexandria (and we will soon see a bit of Blacksburg, too, in book 3.)
The Western Province series occurs mainly in Fort Seattle but has mentioned Port Sacramenti often, and will potentially go there again.
Some of you eagle eyed folks might have already noticed the new province marked on this map — Omegawood.
I made the choice to leave the Valleywood series because I wanted to rebrand and make these books a series all their own. The creators of Valleywood requested I move this series into one of my existing omegaverse series to protect their creation and the authors still there -- which is totally understandable.
So, the Valleywood books have been rebranded into a new Palatinate spin-off, becoming Omegawood.
I had to make A LOT of changes to the first two Valleywood books (and there will be a third!) to fit them into a new universe. While doing so, I realized there were some other questions about the Palatinate that might come up that I'd never answered previously.
The provinces shown on the map are not the only provinces. They are the largest and make up much of the population of the continent. Each of these are super-provinces with populations ranging from 500,000 to over a million residents. There are many smaller provinces dotting the landscape. "Rural" provinces is what they're often referred to. Many of these are devoted to trades, farming, and raising livestock —selling/trading to the surrounding larger provinces.
No Man's Land isn't devoid of life.
Just outside many of the provinces, there are miles of province-controlled farmland. They have a lot of mouths to feed inside the walls and it can't all come from the smaller provinces nearby. Small villages exist just outside the walls, filled with the farmers/farm hands who tend the land, and their families. Some exiles end up remaining in these villages or move deeper into NML.
"Safe zones" also exist outside many of the larger provinces, sometimes extending past any farmland, if there is any. This is considered "neutral territory". Many provincial governments made treaties with local chieftains to stay out of the safe zone, with the promise the provincial governments would, as well. There are some villages and towns that have sprung up in these supposed "safe zones" -- but don't let the name fool you. These places are not very safe. Think the Wild West.
