Hello friends! I'm pushing back the remaining Loveswept AUs to Wednesdays. So the Honeymoon Short will release on Dec 14, and the Maya's first Date Short will release on the 21st.
The SitS Q&A will come out on December 20th with the Short Story & Artwork on Dec 24th.
I am someone who usually calls myself a vampire because I am (usually) able to pull allnighters and get shit done. Apparently not this month. 🤣 I have been so exhausted with various holiday preparations, cleaning, doctor's appointments, life, etc that I slept almost all day Saturday and fell asleep last night at 9:30pm. 😱
So I'm sorry for having to push the schedule back a few days for Loveswept but I hope you're all excited for these last two instalments before it's truly completed for good!
Thank you for your understanding! ❤️

Hello friends! I know you're all really excited for the Loveswept Wedding extra chapter (me too!) but I'm going to have to postpone it until Wednesday. (Keeping you in suspense I know, but just for a few days!) I had something come up today and Sapphire in the Smoke releases tomorrow (Tuesday) so I'm just going to be kind to myself and take the extra time. I hope you all enjoy and it's worth the wait. Thank you all so much for your support and understanding! 🤗 ❤️

GASP! I love it so much!! 😱❤ Thank youuu!!!
Hey everyone, I just wanted to address Human.
I am planning to have it come back from hiatus in 2022 but I can't make any promises, hence there having been no official announcement. To be honest, Human has occupied my entire being since chapter one in January of 2019. I posted everyday for about 150 chapters which is roughly 5 months. And that means writing a chapter everyday for 140 days because I only had 10 chapters planned out when I first started Human.
I love Human, I love the characters, I am so very grateful for the success and enjoyment expressed by the readers, and I am sorry to have been so inconsistent over the past months to a year.
The thing that changed was honestly, happiness. So much happened in my life that I realized how valuable my time was with my family and being able to support them, especially as medical and life issues started to become more apparent to me. I was also very depressed during this pandemic and writing Human started to feed that depression, instead of being an escape from reality.
I will finish Human when I have the time to do it justice and when I am ready, but I really want to remind people: Human is free. I don't have a partnership with Tapas, I don't make any money off of it, I just write it because I love to tell stories. I do make money off of Patreon through early release and monthly extras, but the novel itself is free. That is a ton of time and effort to put into something when there are other pressing things like time with family, rent, food, expenses, etc on one's mind.
So I will be back with Human, I am so very grateful for those of you still interested in the story and it's conclusion. I hope to see you all when I return and thank you so much for understanding.
- Ben <3
PS: In the meantime you can check out my other two novels which are ongoing!
