Hi all!

Things have been a touch sparse on the spoilerific tier lately because I've been closing in on finishing a project. It's super close to release.  I figure this is the best place to share the first look, so here's chapter one! This chapter is safe for work—and most of the rest are definitely not!

GREAT POWER AND NO RESPONSIBILITIES is a fun, low-stakes erotic sci-fi novel with lots of the elements my readers enjoy. Supporters on the Patron tier got some early chapters about a year back, but they've been through a major re-work. Revisions happen lightning fast for me compared to drafting, so this didn't really delay my other WIP. This book is now pretty much finished, cover art is incoming, and we're weeks from launch!

Kyle Donovan always wanted to help people in need, yet his humanitarian career dreams are crumbling into the dumps of daily life. On a rainy delivery run, he meets Xinn: a psychic alien entity with sexy, ambitious vacation plans here on Earth. Xinn needs a warm-hearted human to serve as her vacation host—and to hide her from the feds!

Xinn and her species hold to strict rules against interference with humanity. Her alien hyperintelligence and phenomenal psychic powers are only here for a good time, but Kyle sees the good her abilities can do. Escape from the grind is within reach, with lovely companions and the high life not far behind... as long as Kyle's heroic impulses don't ruin the party for everyone.

Cover art by Julie Dillon in progress!

My usual content warnings will show up soon, but you'll be fine without it for this first chapter. As a hint, though, GPNO is a departure from my usual work. Like Good Intentions, it was originally published on Literotica (under a different pen name). Unlike Good Intentions, the stakes stay relatively low while the focus on erotic fun remains. It's polyamorous, light-hearted, and comedic with a steady drip of adventure alongside the spice, but never loses its focus on the fun... and lots and lots of sexytimes.

Let's face it, you knew my work output was 50% fun smut when you signed up here.

(For the Patron tier, GRAND THEFT SORCERY will also continue today. GPNO hasn't delayed the book very much. I still hope to publish this year.)

Give GREAT POWER a look, and I hope you'll want more!

Dude the art looks amazing so far. I can only imagine what it'll look like once finished

1. Like the cover and the title! 2. A very small grammar note: "He tanked up as…" -> "He had tanked up as…". 3. That's a lot of front-loaded infodumping as dialogue. In a way, it makes Kyle and Xinn's situation seem less urgent from a narrative point of view, even if I believe you had your reason. 4. VROOOM! VROOOM!

Comparing it to the draft you've previously published here I definitely think it's an improvement. Yes, there is a bit less urgency, but decompressing the story allows it to breathe. We get to know Kyle better before things start to go haywire. I feel like I have a better sense of him as a character here then in all the previous draft chapters you shared, combined.

Also, really digging the cover. Can't wait to get my hands on the final version in a few weeks! (And the Novel of course)

Steve Carlson

Wow, you really did rework it, well done. Looking forward to the rest!

Question: will GPNO be available for pre-order, or will it appear on Amazon only when it’s available to be read? I’m not super familiar with independent Amazon launches.

I'm waiting on the final bit of title work for the cover, and then I can load it up for preorder. If it gets here soon enough, I'll have a very short preorder, probably to release right at the end of the month. I'm using a new service for the title work so I'm not sure how long it'll take.
