Run Aground Update!
Today, May 31st, we start our third and final Act with Chapter 49! Read it on Royal Road, Wattpad, or our website. (And if you feel like reblogging this post, we'd be grateful!)
The early access ebook of Run Aground is available on Smashwords. The final, polished version of the ebook with illustrations and bonus extras will come out November 2026.
If you're reading on Royal Road, please consider giving us reviews and ratings as well as comments and favs: the former are what help the story's ranking the most and thus potentially get us more readers! Note: on Royal Road, a review is on the story as a whole, while a comment is on one particular chapter. You don't have to wait til the story's done to leave a review, just say what you like about it so far!
The seventh book (and second full-length novel) in the Michigan Fleet series, Run Aground, is now posting one chapter every Sunday on Royal Road, Wattpad, and our new Michigan Fleet website! You can read it wherever you like, and can leave us comments so we know who’s reading where! (Please give us feedback, we’ve been writing this book for so long...) Every other chapter is illustrated by the talented cowriter-artists Ray and Splickedy. The book should stand alone fine if you haven't read the series, although it will be a richer experience if you've read After the Storm and Taste of New York (and maybe Cross My Heart).
After years trapped in a wealthy monster’s harem, actor Rafael Caro is a ghost of his former self. When he meets Rich Merrill, the newest captive, unexpected kindness brings him back to life and headlong into love. Rich, Rafael and their friends in the harem try to keep each other sane and safe in this cruel place—but no one escapes without help from outside...
Note: The series so far has been reasonably delicate with the subject of sexual coercion, but this story has a lot to do with captivity, exploitation, and depersonalization. We take those subjects seriously, and though we try to keep the hurt balanced with comfort, the dark topics are still prominent parts of the narrative. If you have triggers around sexual coercion and abuse, be cautious about this story. If you're into this shit: hell yeah welcome aboard!!!
Content warnings: dubcon, noncon, sexual slavery, violence, alcohol use, noncon drug and alcohol use, murder, attempted suicide.
Now go, read and enjoy on whichever site you prefer!
