The Blacksmith’s Apprentice… coming soon!

Folks... I have finally finished writing a book. It's with some beta readers now and then off to editing when they're done. Watch this space for updates on when and where it will be published 🎉 :)

Themes & trigger warnings are as follows: fantasy-ish setting, non-human, slow burn, grumpy/sunshine, may/december, caste system, slavery, rape/abuse.

Wow! An update.

When was the last post I made? January? Jebus.

Personal shit:

Things have been up and down in my life for a while now. The death of my best (human) friend, manoeuvring through a COVID and "post"-COVID world (which I still haven't caught, at least that I'm aware of *knocks on wood*), the death of Murphy the Goodest Dog, my father's quickly failing health, health issues of my own... family shit. It's just one thing piling onto another and I'm not one of those artists or authors who can channel that anxiety, grief, and anger into anything useful.

I've kept my head down, taking one step at a time to get back to where I can sit down and write for hours at a time and finally publish all the things I had to put on the backburner. Sometimes it's two steps forward and five steps back... sometimes I make actual, honest to goodness progress. Lately, it's been a lot of the latter... so 🤞🏼

Like everyone always says: it's a process.


Book shit:

I should be able to publish something shortly. It might not be the thing that people were waiting for, but I'm so close to so many The Ends that I feel I can get something out that's new. Hopefully, that will get the momentum going again.

Max and Exposed are going back into KU as soon as September, so if you've put off getting a copy and you don't want to buy from Amazon, now's your chance.


General writing shit:

As some may have noticed, I've paywalled some of my free stories at "Bey's Tales" and set up a subscription thing. You can check out more details here but the gist of it is to read most of the spicier/taboo-ey stuff, it'll cost you a buck a month, and you can cancel at any time. There are a few WIPs that you can access with a higher level subscription at $5 a month, ones that will eventually become full length published novels. You'll be able to read along as I write them—I will post updated files with the date they were last added to and word count. The Wanderer1 is one of these. It's a post-apocalyptic sci-fi, poly, queer tale of redemption. It's sitting at about 35k with another 6-7 left to go.

Other WIPs that I'm not certain will be published or might not end up being even novella length are accessible at the $1 level, like this taboo story between and uncle and nephew called (for the time being) Uncle Zach2.

I'll be adding more WIPs for the "Silver" subscribers , like My Roommate Kevin, Charlie, Midnight in Montreal, etc, in the weeks to come.

What the hell? Why the paywall, Bey? Well, it has to do with family and underage members of said family finding their way onto my site and reading things they really shouldn't. I'm not into censorship, but some things should be read with, you know, more maturity and experience. Amirite?

Also, I think having subscribers will motivate me to write more. I hope.

Anyhoo... that's it. That's the update. Thanks to everyone who has stuck around during this dry spell. I'll update again soon. Cheers xo


1 The Wanderer - Themes/TWs: prostitution, graphic sex, large age gap, violence, theft, drug/alcohol abuse, depression, rape, gang rape, cannibalism, murder, incest, child/infant death and abuse, general abuse, (more to come)

2 Uncle Zach - Themes/TWs: incest, dubcon, dirty talk, cum fetish, D/s, rape play, gangbangs, free use, piss play, (more to come)

Uncle Zach

Owen is a young man who knows what he likes. Namely, a cheap hotel room with an unlocked door and a stream of randos horny for his smooth twink ass. Then, one night the unimaginable happens when he realizes that the anonymous man using him is his favourite uncle . . . and it’s too late to do anything about it.

Instead of feeling horrified about what happened between them, Owen finds he wants more, and Uncle Zach doesn’t need much convincing.

When uncle and nephew decide to embrace the unconventional bond between them, and set off on a journey of experimentation, they discover that what they share goes far deeper than just their genes.

Guest Post – Author Blake Allwood

Everyone give a warm welcome to author Blake Allwood!


“We all suck when we start something new!” That’s been my mantra for years when encouraging my kids or students to let go and try.

This was true for me when I first started writing gay romance novels as well. Am I perfect now? No, far from it, but at least now I know a lot of good editors!

Two years ago in April, 2019, I published my first novel, Aiden Inspired. Luckily, I had a lot of forgiving readers who overlooked all my errors, and as such, Aiden is still one of my best sellers.

To honor this book as well as my second in that two-part series, I wanted to do something special. So, I pulled both books and sent them through the editing process once again.

As a result, on this first "bookday" of Bobby Transformed and the second "bookday" of Aiden Inspired, I’m proud to say, I think they are significantly improved. Many of my readers have already confirmed that for me as well!

Aiden Inspired kept his book cover cause dang, that model is hot! Bobby Transformed however, got a new cover to better match Aiden Inspired. That model is pretty hot too! Seriously!

I hope you enjoy reading Aiden and Bobby’s stories and would love to have you stalk me a bit.

Thanks Bey, for allowing me to visit and share my new, old books!

Win a copy of Varian Krylov’s New Book: Hurt Me

Look who's back... and with a brand new book! Welcome to my blog, Varian. What do you have for us today?


Hi friends and fans of Bey! And thanks, Bey, for inviting me to visit!

I'm excited to be giving away three ebook copies of my latest novel, Hurt Me, which is the third book in my Fault Lines trilogy, and the prequel to Dangerously Happy. Don't worry if you haven't read the other books, this one stands alone just fine, and also works as a launch into Dangerously Happy, should you feel inspired to read more about these guys.

Bey asked me to say a little about what inspired this book, which is the first in four years… at least the first romance book. I've been working on a big YA fantasy series since 2017, but a couple summers ago I fell into ruminations about Dario (one of the main characters of Dangerously Happy), and Xavi (one of the main characters from Bad Things), and their backstory. They have an intense dynamic in the first two Fault Lines books, but their time on-page together is brief, and only hints at their bond and their history.

The seed of this idea really took root in my brain while I was in Shengen “exile” in Andorra for a couple of months while I was between visas (I was living in Spain, and have now landed in Germany). I stayed in a tiny cabin in the mountains during the off-season (most folks go there for winter skiing, and the area's a dead zone the rest of the year) and there was nothing to do but wander the mountain trails, and write. I guess my brain needed a break from the fantasy series… or it just really needed to delve into this history between Dario and Xavi.

And whew, the delve got deep and dark!

In Dangerously Happy, we discover Dario's need to surrender control and even safety, to cope with his demons, and in Bad Things, Xavi makes it clear he's more than up to the job of taking people's control and safety. In Hurt Me, their relationship is a vortex churning around that dynamic. But Hurt Me also turned into a fun, twisty, slightly bloody thriller revolving around a trans kid named Feerz.

And now, it's back to YA fantasy! Or is it? ;)


Sounds fantastic - I can't wait to read it!

Wondering which retailer pays me the most?

#1 is Payhip. Not a retailer, but an online shop that I've set up myself. This is where I make the most return on my books.

Then after that it gets a little complicated, but these are the three best choices:

At Eden Books*, I make 70% royalties for all titles.

At Smashwords, I make 60% royalties for all titles.

At Amazon, for books OVER $2.99 (USD) I make 70% royalties and for books UNDER $2.99 I make 35%

So... if the book is under $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Smashwords.

If the books is over $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Amazon.

But best of all, buy from my Payhip store :)

Questions? Contact Me!

*Not all my titles are available at Eden yet as of 25/09/23 - I'm working on it.
