A Streak of Lightning – New Aubrey & Lindsey Story on Patreon!

A brand new short story featuring Aubrey & Lindsey of Mr Warren’s Profession is now on Patre♡n! Wherein Aubrey discovers an alarming development in his wash-stand mirror.

Aubrey had not read the novel by Lord Graves’s playwright acquaintance. He had however heard its details discussed at length over the course of several dinners. He knew that it involved a beautiful youth who had a devilish portrait painted to age in his place, and for every sin the dissipated lad committed, the portrait grew more hideously withered. Aubrey had no such portrait. His own sins could only bear out upon his flesh, and he supposed, with more resignation than bitterness, that given the life he’d led it was more surprising he hadn’t found anything more than a single grey hair ‘til now.

Joining me on Patre♡n will give you access to “drawer fic” – aka the 500k+ words worth of manuscripts that have been shelved until I figure out how to fix or finish them. You’ll also be invited to join an exclusive Discord server just for patrons!

A new chapter or story will go up every week. Missing (unwritten) scenes will be indicated by brackets describing what would probably happen if the scene were written. Example: [in this scene Aubrey and Lindsey ride a carousel]

Chapter Fifteen of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein an unwanted guest takes a villanous turn.

Knowing the truth of the matter from its inception didn’t make the words any less repulsive to hear. Nor did it alter Malory’s answer. “I shall never consent to the match.”

Milford’s gaze narrowed. A faint smile twitched at the corner of his moustache. “Oh, but I think you shall.”

A new chaper will go up every week. Missing (unwritten) scenes will be indicated by brackets describing what would probably happen if the scene were written. Example: [in this scene Aubrey and Lindsey ride a carousel]

Chapter Twelve of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet attends a ball.

“I know some of these old fish,” said Uncle Jack. “But the young minnows have me at a loss. Who’re those pale little slips yonder?”

Malory gave thanks that his uncle merely jerked his chin at the family in question rather than pointing with hand or hook. “The Throckmortons. You might remember their late father.”

“Ah, yes—a broth of a boy!”

As his uncle did not see fit to explain that remark, Malory continued as if he hadn’t heard it.

Chapter Eleven of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet gets (almost) everything his bloody heart desires.

“You remarked on the thoroughness of my education.” Sir Malory hesitated. “I must tell you it has never yet extended thus far.”

Chapter Ten of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet has a visitor in the night.

The lonely sleep of a bachelor baronet bereft of bosom companionship did not come easily to Malory. Even more than a year later. Many a night he spent staring up into the darkness waiting for unpleasant dreams to claim him.

As such, on this particular night, the slight scratching sound at his window proved more than enough to rouse him.

Ch. 9 – Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon

Chapter Nine of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet and the bo’sun confess and consummate.

“Do you regret it?”

Malory caught his apology on his tongue. Of course he regretted any discomfort or embarrassment he’d caused. Yet the bo’sun did not appear discomforted or embarrassed. A gleam of intrigue lit up those dark and compelling eyes, and the ghost of a smile played at the corners of those full lips which Malory wished to kiss again. The memory of last night, the taste of wine and salt and the intoxicating scent of another man’s musk, threatened to overwhelm him even now.

“Do you regret it?” Malory echoed at last.

The bo’sun gave him a considering look. “I only regret you were not sober.”

Malory didn’t dare to hope he’d heard him correctly. Yet he heard himself reply, “I’m sober now.”

Ch. 8 – Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!

Chapter Eight of Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance, is up on Patre♡n! Wherein the baronet and the bo’sun drink deep.

“I think,” Octavio murmured against the baronet’s lips, “you ought to go to bed, sir.”

The gleam in Sir Malory’s eyes as he pulled back told Octavio he hadn’t spoken plain enough.

“Alone, sir,” Octavio added.

The spark of delight faded and the baronet’s eager smile fell as, slowly yet surely, he realised the meaning behind Octavio’s words. Octavio kept his own face blank even as Sir Malory searched it in desperation. Then the baronet licked his lips and swallowed hard. His chair scraped against the floorboards as he stood.

“Right,” said Sir Malory, no longer looking at Octavio but at anywhere else in the dark corners of the study. His hands flexed at his sides before settling to fiddle with his cuff-links. “Yes. Well.”

Octavio remained seated and silent as a stone.
