Table is all set up, so let's fucking go Smut Lovers! Come by and say hi and get a book signed. Just look for the big green muscular men! #booksky #smutloverscommunity #smutlovers2026

Dom sits behind a table of his books, next to a banner featuring a muscular orc being clung to by a human man.

We are greatly outnumbered, and I can already see some of the other guards locking cuffs onto the incapacitated Briars. After sharing a look and seeing we have no other choice, the three of us obey the man’s order, dropping our weapons and raising our arms. (Art from World of Warcraft) #booksky

A human jailer steps on an orc to hold him on the floor, a metal collar and chain attached to his neck.

Panel went great! :D

Late review post this week courtesy of Emma on Goodreads! I love writing about my boys, and love that their connection and growth has touched so many of my readers. :D Emma's full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

(Photo by @mrsleather.bsky.social feat. @jackdixonxx.bsky.social) As soon as he has his armor off, David flops face first onto the bed, groaning in pleasure at the soft fabric underneath him. “Do not get too comfortable,” I warn him with a chuckle. #booksky

Don't tell anyone I told you this, but I *might* have just approved the final cover for Sketches & Stanzas... 😉🤐

“Bedroom and strip.” I’m given the three-word order before my mouth is captured in a hungry kiss. I’m moving as soon as I’m released, pulling my shirt off on my way down the hall. (Photo from Fort Troff feat. Devin Franco) #booksky #caption

Tuesday-reviewsday! This one comes from David on Goodreads. Happy to say I have plans for both sequels and prequels in this series' future! :D David's full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... Order The Crown and the Collar here: books.dominicashen.com/thecrownandt... #booksky

A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "The Crown and the Collar," written by David Branson on Goodreads. The review reads: "Not only a hot werewolf/human dom/sub story, but lots of palace intrigue, and I'm eager to read more! There's a lot of awesome worldbuilding in this book too, and I hope we will see the first sequel soon! (And/or prequels?)"

The first *smack* against my ass really throws me, and I cry out more in surprise than pain. He’s spanking me?! The second smack quickly proves me right and my hands, tied as they are, are fruitless to block any further blows. I haven't been spanked since I was a kid! #booksky

The Crown and the Collar Living on a farm, Peter used to daydream about a different life. So when Prince Blackwood comes in and sweeps him off his feet, how could he say no? But they say the prince's bite is worse than his bark... Order here: books.dominicashen.com/thecrownandt... #booksky

A promotional image for the book "The Crown and the Collar" by Dominic N. Ashen, showing a werewolf in a forest holding an unconcious man with a golden collar around his neck. The promo reads: "Peter grew up working on his family’s farm, but life in Weston can be a little boring at times. So imagine his surprise when the crown prince of Litkalaa sweeps him off his feet and makes him an offer he can’t refuse: wear his collar and become the next royal consort. Easy choice, right? Of course, that means moving into the castle and joining the royal werewolf pack. And they say the prince’s bite is worse than his bark..."

Late review for you this week, this time from Emma Collins on Goodreads! I was trying to write something that felt both familiar (prince sweeping a peasent off his feet) and different (that prince and his family are all werewolves). Emma's full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "The Crown and the Collar." The review was written by Emma Collins on Goodreads, and reads: "This book was a delightful mix of fantasy, romance, and intrigue, with an engaging storyline that kept me hooked from start to finish ... The setting of Litkalaa is richly described, blending the simplicity of rural life with the grandeur of royal intrigue. The addition of werewolves and the subtle exploration of BDSM themes added a unique flavor to the story, though it’s tastefully done and never feels gratuitous."

Goddamnit. Dolly AND Tim, back to back? Wrong 80 year olds, Death. Is there something about being evil that makes people immortal? When *it* finally happens, I'm throwing a week-long party.

I leave the town, running all the way back up the dirt road. I’m winded by the time I make it back to the farm and realize with a grimace that I’m also sweaty. Maybe I’ll have time to change? Everyone is still in the living room, waiting for me when I enter, out of breath.

A man with dark hair, yellow eyes, and facial hair stands in front of an image of his werewolf form.

I worry a lot about AI and the damage it's doing to the world, and the damage it might do in the future. And then I spend an hour trying to convince my Roomba that I am not, in fact, attempting to mop right now despite it's many error notifications.

Short and simple review for you today from Encyclopedia Bruin on Amazon! Already looking forward to starting the next book in the series soon. :D Bruin's full review: www.amazon.com/portal/custo...

A five star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Distance & Dragons," written by Encyclopedia Bruin on Amazon. The review reads: "Like the other books in the series, this book skillfully balances romance and adventure. I love both the kink and the world building, and I’m eager for the next one in the series!"

The forest is as silent as we are as we move forward, weapons in hand. My eyes and ears are scanning ahead of us, unsure of who or what we might find first. If it is David and the others, we will need to keep up our charade until we can subdue the men following us. (Art by Imad Awan)

Food looks a little gnarly when the skin broke but toe is mostly just bruised and thankfully not broken! Now I've just gotta wait and see what happens to the nail. 😬

Service Duty is out now! It was just a little joke - David didn't know *Chief Grandtooth* was in the office! Now he has to spend the day "servicing" the rest of the rangers as punishment...and you can bet he's going to get Nylan back for putting him up to it in the first place.

A promotion image for "Service Duty," a novella by Dominic N. Ashen, featuring a human and an orc standing behind a "fuckbench," as well as the human and an elf sitting together on the floor suggestively. The promo reads: "It was just a little joke, a harmless prank - David wasn't supposed to get in this much trouble for it! But now as his punishment, he'll be spending the day on "service duty" for the ranger station... Of course, this whole thing was Nylan's idea in the first place. The elf is going to have to work hard to make things right - and David's not going to make it easy for him."

Just dropped a stepladder on my foot so hard I think I invented a few new curse words in the aftermath. Oww.

Time for an Ours review! This one comes from Mangos on Goodreads. I'm so happy you have a new favorite book! And have lots of plans for the boys in the future, don't you worry... Mangos's full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Ours," written by Mangos on Goodreads. The review reads: "This book is my new favorite! It was a smooth flowing book, well written and so intriguing! I couldn’t stop reading it and I will quiet literally cry if there isn’t a sequel! ... Highly recommend all books by Dominic!"
