Member Since

Multipublished author of erotic romances, mostly in ebook format, many of which are gay (m/m, yaoi) erotic romances though he also writes m/f and menage as Jaymie Michaels. He writes in multiple genres--scifi, fantasy, mystery, paranormal and horror--and often blends them into new and interesting forms.

Books Coming Soon

Through Neon Eyes #1: Zoner has been reissued on Amazon. It is in KU for the moment, but will not remain there forever.

I will be putting book #2, Control up on January 12th, give or take a day or so.

As far as January goes, I might be putting Apocalypse Dance up later in the month. It is one of my Jaymie Michaels books. I'll have to see how the editing goes. It might be a bit later for that one.

You're welcome. Happy Holidays to you and your family and friends.

Thanks! You too!


Michael Barnette I really like that series :)
There's not a lot with a similar theme.
I'm a big fan of the whole, tent/cave, nature, trade, hunt for your food kind of thing. My only complaint would be that I can't believe it ends where it ends everytime I finish one lol Always makes you wanna read what happens next right away~
Good stuff :)


I'm glad you like it. Without giving anything away, I can say there's a HUGE plot twist coming to the series very soon. It's something Auburnimp and I planned from the start and we hope readers are going to be surprised by what comes next.
