Ways to fix writer's block

OPTION 1: Try turning the writer on and off (it works)

OPTION 2: if option 1 doesn't work, try putting the writer in rice.

New Project Launch: The House of Noctus

An 18+ Dark Vampire Romance IF. Some desire you. Others want you dead. You trade power in blood and secrets.

The House of Noctus 

In the seedy underbelly of Northwyck, your most valuable currencies are secrets- and blood. 

You wake in a stranger’s bed with blood on your lips and a bullet hole in your ribs. The man that found you says that you belong to him. And he to you. You are the leader of The House of Noctus, the most influential vampire Coven in the northern region. But you have no memory of who you are, or the past life that you led.

Thrown into a world of masked courts, ruthless politics, and velvet seduction, you must unravel who you were, and decide who you'll become. 

Fight. Flee. Seduce. Survive.

But above all, remember who you are. Before someone else decides for you.

The Romance Options

Lestat/ Lucette

Your lover. Your Monseur. Your betrothed. You find vestiges of the life you once shared with them everywhere you look, but you can't remember the one who'd sooner die for you than see you hurt.

Snow

Your protector. Your shield. Loyal to a fault to you and you alone, Snow follows your orders without question. But are they loyal to you because you lead The House of Noctus, or are their motivations more personal?

Zero/Zara

Your blade. You assassin. They do your bidding in the dark, without question. You've known them for years, but for all intents and purposes, the attractive vampire is still an enigma. Even to you.

Dimitri/Dhalia

Master of the coven of The House of Deveraux, they hold a seat at The Crimson Court. They oppose you- openly- at ever turn. But not because their political interests are opposite your own. Their motivations are much more...personal. They're fixated. Obsessed with you for reasons you can't remember. And they swear they won't let you get away again.

Lux/Lorelei

The House of Noctus' information broker, they trade in secrets and work their machinations behind closed doors. They often work closely with Zero/Zara to further the aim of the coven, but they've always kept their interactions with you professional...until now.

I needed an outlet for my werewolf romance daydreams and my love for the Victorian gothic aesthetic. Thus, Eirington on the Moor was born. Initially, this came about when I sat down to write more for The House of Noctus. What can I say, I've been reading too many werewolf romance stories, and it's almost Halloween :P 

I love vampires (hence THoN), but there's something about romancing a hot alpha werewolf with all his feral quirks that's just sooo much fun :) <3

Hello! I have a book coming out, here's some information on it!

LYKOS, By J. N. Ledford

Publishing under Salem's Pine Publishing LLC

A contemporary fantasy werewolf romance, LYKOS is set primarily in my hometown located in the Blue Ridge/Smoky Mountains of the Appalachian range. There is slow burn romance, there is a werewolf being hunted, there are reckless decisions, and there is an innate love for the nature of my home!

I came up with this story years ago, and it has evolved so many times since then to reach this final version. Seeing it go from just a Wattpad story I was going to post a few chapters of, to a full blown book I have sat down to publish has been so fun.

We're nearing the end now, though life and cost of home repairs have pushing the deadline of the book back from its original May 4th publication; expecting the book to be finalized and published now in June/July if the world is a little merciful.

Still, I am sinking my claws into this story and the characters and this year you'll all get to meet them. And here's another fun fact, there will be a second book set in this world following a secondary character I am sure you will all love as well.

So get ready to meet our resident Lycanthrope, Fae "Lykos" Holloway, and the human whose life she literally crashes into, Khalid Hawkins.

The book will be available in paperback, hardback, and as an eBook through the companies Ingramspark and Amazon once they publish.

I would also, as always, love to shout out the cover artist @norapotwora for her stunning work on both the art and lettering. It's amazing seeing such a rough concept brought to life. I cannot wait for the chance to work with her again in the future.

My ask box is open, so if you have any questions feel free to send them in at @jnledford - I'll answer what I can without spoiling too much!

Written summary under the cut:

"What happens when werewolves and people collide in the Great Smoky Mountains?"

Khalid is having a hard enough time striking out on his own, hours away from family and the city he has called home for more than 20 years. But homesickness won't stop him from moving into the Appalachian cabin his grandfather has entrusted him in the will.  Even if the thought of living on his own leaves a pit in his stomach.

On the first night he spends in his new home, finally alone with a storm raging overhead, there is a deafening crash, and he ventures outside to find the door of the shed demolished. Against better judgment, he peeks inside. What he finds is a canine he believed to only exist in fiction before this moment; there is no question that what he sees is a werewolf in the dim light that illuminates it.

An injured one at that.

Unable to leave the situation alone, Khalid throws caution to the wind and does his best to help, only to wind up with a stranger in his home when she finally shifts back, in and out of delirium from whatever she has been shot with. A growing foundation of familiarity and trust between the pair, Khalid learns much about the newly dubbed Lykos and the world of lycanthropy, under the impression they are safe from the dangers she has outrun—but the hunters aren't done with her yet.

Chapter 21 is finally here in early access!

Did anyone ask for Evil Ale's backstory? No? Well, too bad 👀

This update adds about 9,200 words!

Devlog:

Fixed a line in chapter 20 written as if Good Ale were texting when it's actually spoken over the phone.

Added MC's response at the start of the aforementioned phone call, which was skipping straight to the closing.

Fixed a couple of bugs that caused Raf to always be counted as a girl in chapter 20's student tally.

Changed a few instances of MC's full name to the corresponding nicknames in chapter 20's messages.

Added another default nickname option for the two Ales.

Nicknames for the two Ales can now be changed from the Stats menu.

Fixed a major bug in the country selection.

You can find it on Patreon. Enjoy! ♥
