So sorry! This weekend was crazy so I'm getting this update in late!
Also, because of the US election, I'm feeling very conflicted about when to release this book. The election is on Nov 3, and I may not be in any mindset to promote, depending on the results. But much later and we run into Thanksgiving. And December is too Christmassy. So it's either mid-November or January. Thoughts? (if you can't comment, you can email me razberripie@gmail.com)
Hi all, thank you so much for the positive feedback!
Here is the first chapter of the story- it is actually developing into a book, which I am planning on releasing soon, if there is enough interest.
So far I am getting a good response and I plan on finishing it around Halloween. Maybe releasing it then.
I am totally in love with Adrian myself, and the female protagonist is very dear to my heart. Apart from the sci-fi aspect , the story is loosely based on someone I have known (which is my way of writing) so it would mean a lot if you can leave me a comment to let me know what you think!
I will always try to respond and thank you again so much for the encouragement! I cannot tell you how much it means to me, so thank you!
And here is a link to the first chapter as promised: http://stories.paradevo.net/2020/08/limerence-chapter-1-and-2.html

Until next time!

Thank you all for the kind words last week on the first part. I'm so excited about this story. These will be the last two chapters I post as a sample (the book releases next week).
If you missed it, here are the first two chapters
Hush Darling chapters three and four
Hello everyone,
I hope you guys are healthy and are keeping safe.
I decided to come on here again as I am working on a project which I'd like to share with you all and see if there is any interest in the topic.
I am working on a new story that would include a blind sexy vampire who is very OTT possessive and obsessed with the heroine.
Please, share with me your opinions- would you like to read a story like this one? The protagonist is a wounded hero, who has many demons and is quite tortured, dark, sexy and brooding. At times overwhelmingly so.
Here's a sample , please check it out and let me know if you like it!

If there is enough interest I will continue writing .
With Tenderness,
Sophie
Thanks for all the comments last week! I really wasn't sure about this story, but your kind words gave me the confidence to move forward with publishing sooner rather than later (I had been aiming for 2021). Here's the next chapter with some new revelations about what happened between Blake and Audrey:
Hey all. Avery here. This is the first time that I've ever posted on this blog, so I wanted to introduce myself. I write stories about wounded heroes, be it physically or emotionally. So if that's your jam, I've got you covered.
Some of you may be familiar with my stories, others may not. I'm only going to be posting the first four chapters of this book as a sample.
I'm not a huge fan of trigger warnings but due to domestic abuse, I feel it's necessary in this case: This material contains sensitive issues that may be disturbing for some readers. Certain scenes will portray detailed domestic abuse, physical violence, and intense, complex grief issues.
I'll be posting two chapters this week and two next week.
My most recent book, Hush Darling (featuring a Deaf hero), is set to release on September 28th.
So, without further ado, here are the first two chapters.
Hi there lovely people,
I hope you enjoyed the snippet from "The Tortured Billioanire" I shared with you in my last post.
Some people were curious about the validity of the story and how much from what I had experienced in my own personal life had been included in the book.
So I realized I have to make the following disclaimer:
For the purposes of keeping the identities of the characters involved in the first book private, I deliberately altered names, locations and some circumstances.
I had to do this as some friends were trying to discover the identities of the real people who I used to base the story on, and of course I wouldn't want to reveal those. However, I would like to say that most of the information included in the series comes from my own personal experience, and I will just leave it at that.
Now , for the fun part. There is a sequel to the first book and I am happy to share part of it with you here :
http://stories.paradevo.net/2020/08/blog-post.html
This is a sequel to the first book, and Book 2 in the Billionaire series. If you enjoy the sample, you can find the whole book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HL9VNLQ
I will also be posting more from these two stories for those of you who enjoy it, every Monday on this blog. The way I write is similar to therapy, as it helps me battle my own demons.
Here is the continuation to "The Tortured Billionaire" story: http://stories.paradevo.net/2020/07/the-tortured-billionaire-update.html
I am so grateful for you guys who are showing support and allowing me the platform to speak up and voice my thoughts and experiences. The writing helps me deal with what I have gone through in my past and is indeed like therapy. I would recommend anyone who has gone though abuse or trauma in their own life to keep a journal or something to record their experience.
Until next time,
Sophie
Hi everyone! Devo Girl here again with yet another historical fiction novel featuring a sexy blind guy! Huge thanks to everyone who helped with beta reading my previous novel and to all the awesome readers who have already agreed to beta read this latest one. But I find it's best to get a lot of opinions as I'm revising. Also this time around, the novel is m-m and set in Japan so if any of you are fans of samurai movies, manga/anime or BL/yaoi, I'd love to have your feedback.
Here's the blurb:
Flowers by Night
Japan, 1825. Edo is the largest city in the world, despite being wracked by frequent natural disasters, a city where people of every class find bawdy, thrilling entertainment of every kind. Love affairs between men are completely accepted, even among men married to women, but low-ranking samurai Uchida Tomonosuke has never pledged himself to another man. Until one day he accidentally crosses paths with a beautiful blind masseur who challenges everything he thought he knew. Ichi is a member of the Todoza, the guild of blind men, who are trained in massage and music. The Todoza taught Ichi how to be independent and self-sufficient, but he's still at the very lowest rungs of society. For the samurai and the masseur to be together, it will mean not only crossing class lines and negotiating Tomonosuke's unhappy wife, but also surviving earthquake, fire and famine. Theirs is a thoroughly unconventional love story that is based in rich historical detail.
Read on for the first chapter...
