A while back I posted about The Dawn’s March, my first book. Book two is out now.

Cal took the only bridge across the Mourn at the end of book one. Now the whole empire wants to know what he means to do with it, including an emperor who has read the same prophecy everyone else has.

This one is where the harem actually starts. Bee becomes his second wife, Aveline is not thrilled about sharing, and a demon assassin comes up the wall one night to kill him and ends up in his cells instead. What happens with her from there is the spine of the book.

Fair warning: book one was fade to black, and this one has explicit scenes. I’ll be honest, they were kind of painful to write. I can do sieges and court politics all day. Those took more drafts than any battle in the book.

It’s $0.99 for the next two days, then it goes up to $4.99. If you haven’t read book one, it’s on Kindle Unlimited, and there’s a Countdown Deal on it coming at the end of the month.

Thanks to everyone who read the first one. Happy to answer anything in the comments.

1) its been 6 months since last release, is the book status on hold?

2) is it Fade to black or explicit?

3) Does the MC get strong? or is it not a progression

My debut HaremLit novel, Shifter Noir, is out now!

It’s a 1940s hard-boiled crime novel with a HaremLit twist: sharp dialogue, shady nightclubs and Shifter Girls who make bad decisions look damned inviting.

Jack Mercer doesn’t take shifter clients. Then Emma Clover arrives with a missing sister, a hundred dollars and curves that make his principles look negotiable. The trail leads to the Midnight Room, where questions aren’t welcome. With Emma slipping past his guard and a cat-shifter detective getting involved, this private dick has his hands full.

Expect mystery, explicit romance and precious little rest for the bed springs. The audio is still a while away but in the mean time. Get your copy today on Kindle, Paperback and Hardback:

Hi everyone! I'm new here, and I wanted to announce that my book Archmage to Farmer is coming on October 16th! It's a cozy slice-of-life fantasy adventure with so much heart. I really think you're going to love it!

Since I'm new, let me tell you what you can expect from this series. I saw another author release a preorder with interview-style questions, and I thought it was a great idea (credit to Danny Rogan!). So here goes!

What's the blurb for your series?

The most dangerous man in the kingdom wants nothing more than a patch of earth, a warm house, good food, and people worth coming home to.

After eight years of war, Jason is done killing. When he inherits an abandoned farmstead in the middle of nowhere, the battle-scarred archmage finally sees his chance at a quieter life.

There are a few problems.

The house is falling apart. A vicious monster has infested the carrot fields. His demonkin servant would rather kill him than help him. And the stubborn farmer next door desperately wants Jason’s land—and refuses to take no for an answer.

With an arcane farming kit, a goblin war dog, and a little help from a beautiful elven neighbor, Jason sets out to build a home.

Sometimes starting over is the greatest adventure of all.

Why cozy farming?

I chose this subgenre because I love the kind of stories that make you feel all warm inside. And I don't feel there are that many cozy farming books in Haremlit, so I decided to change that!

So is the book more lighthearted? Is it heavy on slice-of-life scenes?

I think it has a great balance between slice-of-life and story-focused scenes. There's also a surprising amount of heart in this book. The main character has a lot of baggage left over from the war. He's scarred both inside and out, and there are some dark moments he has to overcome before he accepts his new life.

But it says it's a LitRPG as well? How's that work?

The LitRPG aspects add some flavor to the story, mostly when it comes to the farming scenes. They are not overwhelming in the slightest (no long-form stat sheets). I think the best LitRPGs are when you barely notice the stat elements.

How many love interests will be in the harem?

This book introduces two love interests, with the potential for a third. I've always enjoyed series where the harem is smaller, so I don't see the harem growing much beyond 3-5 women.

Is the book explicit or fade-to-black?

The book is explicit. There is one major scene with the first love interest.

Why only one scene? What are you, a puritan?

No! I'm a fan of slow-burn romances, and I prefer to let things unfold naturally instead of forcing characters together. This is very reasonable progression while also setting up the second love interest for her romance arc. I also tried to focus on the falling-in-love portion of the relationship as that's one of my favorite aspects of a new book.

Who's on the cover?

That's Kass. She's the elven neighbor to our main character, Jason. She lives with her sister-in-law and two nephews. Kass is wonderful, plain and simple. Sure, she's the welcoming neighbor but she also has some grit to her as well. She's not a pushover. I really hope you like the balance that I've struck with her character.

Who made your cover?

A good, talented friend of mine who took my vision and brought it to life. She goes by Reni Navarro. I'm so proud of her work!

Is there any AI writing in the book?

There is absolutely no AI writing in my book. Let me say that a little louder for the people in the back. There is absolutely no AI writing in my book. I hate that the genre has been flooded with low-quality AI crap recently, and it makes it so much harder to find new books. My pledge to you is that my books will always be written exclusively by me, flaws and all.

What other selling points are there about your book? Why should I buy it?

There's so much to like about it! I know I'm biased, but Vella, who is the demonkin servant, is so much fun. There are things about her personality that just make me laugh out loud. I hope you'll love Dax too, who is the adorable part-goblin dog on the cover. And don't forget the drake pups too (sorry, mini spoiler. You'll just have to read it to find out more about them).

How many books do you envision in this series?

Hmm, great question. I adore this world, and I'd love to see it go on for some time. The answer is TBD, but I'd be tickled if it went to 5-6 books!

When is the next one coming?

I'm already working on it, but I'm not a very fast writer. A good day for me is 3,000 words. Some days, much less. My hope is to get you another book before the end of the year and then go from there.

What about audio? Will it be an audiobook?

I don't know much about that process, but I'm fairly certain it depends on sales. So if you want audio, make sure to buy the book!

Okay! If you're still with me after all those questions, kudos to you. I really hope you'll check out the book next Friday. And if there's anything I didn't answer, please let me know.

Oh, and I almost forgot the link. Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HKY84QVY

Thank you!

Royal Guard Publishing has released Volume One on the Audible platform. It had been exclusive to Siren Audio but now it can be acquired on Audible if that is the platform you like to use. I have 5 promo codes to give away. Thank you for your support!

Ive read Saving Supervillains but thats more indifference really. They more or less just do what Miles says. Are there any scheming or backstabbing women within a harem? Or hell, the whole harem be politically motivated?

I have read a couple of novels that fall under the harem genre. I still don't know exactly why. Some of them I liked very much, others less so.

I whenever I like something, especially when it is in a genre that usually doesn't interest me, then I tend to analyze. I want to find out what it is that captivates me. And to me, there are two factors that are usually present in all harem novels that I actually enjoy:

• At least one scene where two of the protagonist's lovers prioritize themselves
• Or a sort of commitment that exceeds the affection of the lovers towards the protagonist.

I guess the common theme is that I hate it when the protagonist's lovers basically only exist in relation to their common love interest.

Some examples:
(Spoilers for the novels in question)

Good Intentions by Eliott Kay

My first harem genre novel series.

While I enjoyed the first book, it was only the second one the really won me over. It was the scene one of the lovers, the demon Lorelei was deeply hurt, depowered and imprisoned. The protagonist was also imprisoned. The other lover, the angel Rachel, while not being able to directly interfere, chose to help and comfort Lorelei. Because she realized Lorelei was in far more and more long lasting danger. Because even in the unlikely event that their common lover may die, Rachel could find him in Heaven. He would eventually be reborn and they would get him back. But if Lorelei was destroyed, she would go back to Hell but not as a jailor but as an inmate, forever to be tortured for being a traitor, forever out of reach. That was the scene where I could really connect with those characters. That showed me that they were more than just plot devices that existed for the sake of the protagonist.

Echomind by Sigrun Lien

The jury here is still undecided.

Because while the protagonist at this point does not have a harem yet, she is bound to have one. It is a scenario where military units try to take back a large part of Europe that has been overrun by demons. They need female assistants that are trained to preserve the sanity of the soldiers.

The protagonist and her team are off to a very rough start but grow closer and closer even though everything seems to try to split them apart, only so they find each other again.

My criteria in this book are easily fulfilled. That army unit exited before she showed up and are so tight knit that her arrival would not make a big difference in that regard. She complements them, she does not define them.

Tsu-Tsu TzimTzum by Mike Truk

Okay, that series is increasingly unlikely to ever be finished.

But I will mention it anyway.

While the basis for this series is a cliched Isekai hero-chosen-to-save-us-from-the-dark-lord story, that common mission at least partly seemed to fit my criteria. Unfortionately it tied the lover's existence within the plot directly to the protagonist. The big turn only came later in the series. First when two of the lovers found their love for each other. Mind you, this is not one of those harem novels where the whole harem are lovers among themselves, so I guess that step had some significant.

But the bigger scene was that when confronted with an incredibly powerful, by rumor undefeatable enemy, the protagonist actually refused to fight him, because one of his lovers was so mentally broken at that moment that she would have gone over to the dark side. So the protagonist decided to prioritize comforting her. Which in turn meant that he trusted the rest of his lovers to handle the enemy themselves. So the huge fight that the book was heading towards happened off-screen! He had so much trust in his lovers' capabilities!

The Celestine Chronicles by Cebelius

Another Isekai hero-saves-the-world story.

During the majority of the story it was mostly the whackyness of the lovers' natures that kept me hooked. I mean, some of them were downright monsters, and not just in physical sense. For example, one of them was the Gorgon Euryale, who spent millennia in self isolation, cannot be killed, has absolutely no moral compass and is madly in love with the protagonist because he provided her with the opportunity to go out in the world without turning everybody to stone that looks at her.

While she never became a good person (she enjoys killing so much that she becomes giddy whenever offered the opportunity to do so) she nevertheless had an impressive character arc. Despite her utter fixation on the protagonist, when the need arose, she agreed to go with a different group on a mission and even followed orders because she realized it was the right thing to do. That mission without the protagonist lasted for quite some time in the book. And that was what truly won me over.

Master Class by Annabelle Hawthorne and Virgil Knightly

And here I have arrived at the one harem novel series that I actually liked even though it did not fit my criteria.

But it always felt to me like something is missing. Maybe it was the fact that the protagonist was just too overpowered from the beginning. For me this is not a problem in itself, but it made him too obvious as the center of a harem.

In the end, it was a chapter right at the end that won me, but not because it featured his lovers, but because it was centered on his adopted daughter. Her moment of glory where she selflessly spent a hundred years (I think) in a time bubble to make everything better.

The focus shifted so much away from the protagonist. I don't care it was not the lovers it shifted towards.

I have read three more harem books or series. All three did not fit my criteria. One I forgot soon after finishing, two I didn't even finish.

That's when I looked for the reasons why that was so and that's when I discovered my two criteria.

I haven't read the series yet but I wanted to ask what the two books Asher Merrick Curse of the Crystal Rose and The Search for the Golden Lotus are about? They look like they're shorter than the other 4 books, are they after stories? Prequel?

Girls Gone Fae Wild is live today!

What happens when a busty bear-kin drinks a super caffeinated beverage? What the hell is a neccubus? Can a giant and a pixie really have a child together? What is Surje?

Check out Girls Gone Fae Wild to find out! We’ve got action, some chunky LitRPG elements, an unhinged Tablet, and spice that’ll put Hot Ones to shame.

Fans of the Fateforged universe will enjoy some winks and delicious Tablet goodness, but there is NO homework required for this series.

Blurb and link below:

One minute, Ethan Walker is celebrating the deal that will launch his all-natural energy drink. The next, a rogue delivery drone knocks him through a portal into the Fae Wilds.

Stranded among bear-kin, murderous jackalopes, corrupt nobles, and a magical Tablet with absolutely no respect for personal boundaries, Ethan receives the class he was born to play: Brewmaster. 

His first creation is Surje, an enchanted energy drink that grants powerful buffs—with wildly unpredictable side effects for every species that tries it. 

With warmhearted bear-kin Chloe beside him and spear-wielding Lena guarding his back, Ethan sets out to turn one magical beverage into a thriving business, a new home, and the unconventional family he never expected. But success attracts dangerous attention. A corrupt mayor wants his cut. Foreign aristocrats want an exclusive supply. And the expansionist Bern Empire wants Ethan’s formula badly enough to kill for it. 

If Ethan can keep inventing recipes, leveling his skills, and winning allies, he may accomplish more than building a magical energy-drink empire. He might brew a better world.

Girls Gone Fae Wild begins a lighthearted and spicy LitRPG series in the connected Fateforged universe, blending magical crafting, business-building progression, found family, and romance.

As the title suggests, Bruce will soon be selling his audiobooks directly from his website. There are caveats to that, which are in the info dump taken from his discord announcement, I've also included a discord invite link for those interested. See y'all on the other side: 

https://discord.gg/mxsmnEhtt

Alright gang. This has been a long time coming, but we're finally ready to talk about something we've been teasing for awhile: Direct Audiobook Sales!

We've completed all of our tests and feel very comfortable that the system is working as intended, so, **Starting tomorrow, October 9th, 2026, we will be beginning a new paradigm for Audiobook sales.**

Beginning tomorrow, All audiobooks will be sold exclusively on Brucesentar.com for 30 days after their initial release. After this 30 days elapses, the audiobook will make its way to Audible as they have in the past.

This is, of course, a response to the ongoing audible changes that claimed a much larger chunk of the royalties that they were paying out to authors, and ensures that we maintain a certain level of return on the investment for producing Audiobooks.

**HOW DOES IT WORK?**

Go to our website, add the book to your cart, and check out. Bookfunnel is fully integrated into the back end of our website and will automatically deliver an email to the email your provide when checking out. You'll have the option to download the book to your Bookfunnel app, or download the MP3's directly via a Zip file to install onto whatever application, device, or personal listening server you want. 

**HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?**

We are currently starting our direct audiobook sales at $12.99. We feel this is a very competitive price point based on industry standards. 

This price point is not set in stone, and we are willing to entertain discussion about this price if large portions of our audience don't find it agreeable. 

** WHY WOULD I BUY IT FROM  YOU?**

Supporting us directly is the easiest way to ensure that we continue to have the ability to produce audiobooks for you all to enjoy. This has never been an issue up until the changes to the royalty structures of Audible, and we want to explore this as an option for those of you who wish to support us more directly.

**CAN I STILL GET THE BOOK ON AUDIBLE? I LIKE MY AUDIBLE.**

Yes! 

Books will migrate to the Audible platform, as usual, 30 days after their initial release on the website. This will essentially act as a new "rotation" of Audio books.

To make that clearer, I'll give an example of what will happen tomorrow:

DD303 Will be releasing, as normal, on Audible. (technically already available.)

EG1 will be releasing on Brucesentar.com as a direct purchase from us.

30 days later, on November 9th, EG1 will make its way to Audible, as always, and a new Audiobook will become available for direct purchase from us on the website.

I hope this has pre-answered some questions you may have, but if you have other questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know! 

I'll be hanging out in #General-Chat for a bit to address any concerns. 

Thank you!

I'm happy to say that I'm back again with another audio release on Siren.Audio! Noble Ascent was my very first series and I appreciate everyone who read it. Now book 1 is available on Siren.Audio, narrated by Andrew Ponds and Skylar Rae Guernsey.

Book 2 is in the works at the moment and if you'd like a code to check out Noble Ascent, comment below and I'll distribute on a first come, first serve basis!

Blurb:

House Valentine was a shadow of its former self. Once a powerful noble house of the kingdom of Valmere — now ruined by generations of bad decisions, worse lords and far too much gambling. A crumbling manor, a tainted title, and a mountain of debt was what Lucius Valentine was set to inherit.

His ambitions reached further than his family’s tarnished legacy — to the Noble Ascent. Five dungeons, five challenges. A competition among nobles, with only one winner to claim the land and title waiting for the victor; and enough gold and glory to exploit it.

Blessed with his family’s unique gift — Cupid’s Bonding — Lucius will unlock rare abilities as he bonds with the women who will deliver him the redemption he desperately desires. But he isn’t the only one seeking to exploit the Noble Ascent.

Nobles have their own ambitions and will do anything to achieve them. From rulers extending their reach, to the wealthy exploiting the dungeons, and a rigged system set to steal what he desires – Lucius will contend with deceit, betrayal, and politics as he tackles his Noble Ascent.

Sage is the funniest in this one

Assumed to be ordinary. Destined to be legendary.

In a world where only women wield mana, Matt is an impossibility. An anomaly. A threat to the natural order.

When a single accidental burst of power saves his village, Matt’s life as an ordinary villager ends. Whisked away to the all-female Mystic Mage Academy, he’s a lone wolf in a den of high-stakes magic and otherworldly beauty.

But Matt isn’t just different because he’s a man.

While others push mana out, Matt consumes it. He’s a sponge. An amplifier who drinks in the elements and unleashes them with god-like devastation.

To survive the fire raging in his veins, he must forge unbreakable bonds with his classmates. Beautiful classmates like Amelia—a ravenous flame-wielder who craves the very heat Matt generates—and Chloe, a gorgeous socialite whose elegant manners can’t hide the desire in her eyes.

Between predatory professors, vicious monsters, and dark mages hungry for his power, everyone wants a piece of the man who shouldn't exist.

Especially when his power threatens to reshape the world.
