First, I want to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for Chapter 9; I promise I have been working on it, but writing hasn't been the easiest the last few weeks. I typically don't like to talk about my mental health, and if it's not something that's interesting then I don't have to provide these sorts of updates, but I will say it hasn't been so good recently.
What's been both scary and helpful is realizing how much of my mental health issues I projected into my characters, Saoirse and Elva. I created two characters who are very agoraphobic from abuse, trauma, and misunderstanding, and the trauma that I have yet to write out reflects more of my own trauma than I understood, as well as many of my fears and insecurities. Wrong Side of the Bed definitely didn't start out as this emotional trip when I sat down and said "I'm going to write a lesbian, BDSM novel", but here I am.
Second, I want to say that I have been working on something that will make writing Wrong Side of the Bed much more manageable: a proper timeline. Working on it has more or less consumed my focus the last few weeks, but I feel much more confident writing my series now that so much of it is planned out.
I'd love to say when Chapter 9 is coming out, but I can't make any promises right now. Writing has been a little bit easier to think about the last few days, so I'd love to say it'll be out this week or next, but I won't make that promise. Thank you again for all your patience.

In the early half of the 15th century outside Killarney, Ireland, a young witch named Elva (she/her, 21) discovered to her horror that hunters somehow managed to penetrate the magic ward that had kept her safe for twenty-one summers, ten of which were spent all alone. She hurried home to her cottage at the center of the expansive veil. Once indoors, though, she heard their voices closing in outside and knew it was too late. Forced to pick between suffering an excruciating death at the hands of the hunters or defying her late grandmother’s warnings and summoning a protective demon, she mournfully opened the dark leather-bound grimoire and set to work. During her desperate ritual, however, an innocent mistake sealed her fate and she found herself in a new world at the bedside of a gorgeous, yet irate, succubus (she/her, 3242). Did this witch bite off more than she could chew, or could this be the start of an adventure in self-discovery, love, and healing?
Wrong Side of the Bed is a Risk-Aware Consensual Kink (R.A.C.K.) BDSM erotica with a strong plot, a primarily LGBTQIA+ cast, heavy themes of lesbian romance and coming out, and characters living with severe PTSD. Aspects of this novella contain graphic depictions of violence, death, abuse, crude language, discriminatory language and behavior, and less graphic mentions of suicide. This may upset some readers, so appropriate content warnings are supplied before each chapter containing a known trigger. In addition, readers are given warnings before especially traumatic scenes and are provided with summaries following the break before the less disturbing content continues.
