Yes, I’m writing a Reverse Harem series!

It’s going to be a five-book series called Paladins of Crystal, and I plan on rapid releasing them one every month starting in March 2022, so I’m working on them now alongside my other books (Ramón just keeps muttering, “Rod for your own back” when I tell him about all of this). The first RH book is titled Crystal Shard -- imagine Kristin Bell as a lowly Walmart-alike clerk whose life seems to be at a dead end until she knees her grabby manager in the family jewels, runs out of the store into the middle of a storm wearing a quasi-medieval gown that she hasn’t quite paid for yet, and gets magically transported to another world where a group of paladins mistake her for a magic user and pretty much kidnap her to help them retrieve a piece of royal regalia that’s been stolen—and then hijinks ensue. If Paladins of Crystal does well, there are two potential five-book sequel series that I can write, and all of this may tie into another series of mine, ahem.

And here’s the opening!

I was screwed. There was no other way to put it.

I mean, running out of your workplace dressed in a costume that you hadn’t paid for after kneeing your gropey assistant manager in the balls (it was an accident, but God, he deserved it) pretty much meant screwed, right? Knowing my luck he had already called 911, assuming he’d stopped moaning and clutching his crotch, and the po-po were now looking for a little blonde in a quasi-medieval gown running through the woods near I-55.

I’m the little blonde, by the way. And I never planned for any of this to happen, especially on the day before my twenty-first birthday. But as British guys in fancy books like to say, I digress.
