Of all the settings I've created, my favorite has to be the Witch Wood. I've written two novels based there so far--Dreamer of the Witch Wood and Firebrand of the Witch Wood, both available here on Bookapy. As a setting, it encompasses so many of the themes I love to write about: incest, beast, shifter, knotting, breeding sex, dominance and above all the others, nudity. It's a melting pot of kinks and ideas and I love it so much. In my days of blogging on NewTumbl, I wrote countless teasers and articles about the world of the Witch Wood and I wish I'd known to save them.

In two books so far, there hasn't been much shown of the world outside the Wood and that was done deliberately. Outside the forest is a dark, mysterious world, a fearful place where humanity rules, but humanity fears what it can't control, and the Witch Wood is a primaeval, mysterious realm that refuses to be tamed for any reason. It's why beast-men and witches live there, worshipping a goddess of magic and sex.

I have at least two more Witch Wood novels I'd love to write, if I could find the time to write them. I've been forced to diversify my income streams since I was forcibly outed from my last publisher, so time is the biggest reason more books may have to wait. Also, as much as I love the setting, fantasy erotica just doesn't sell as well as contemporary, so any further stories set in the Wood will probably be a labor of love.
