Bitter Sweet (Book 1): A Doxie Diaries Tale Paperback

by Adrienne Wilder (Author), Inochihime (Illustrator)
September 22, 2019
Paperback: 25 pages
Jinx is a young god trying to survive the economic collapse that has altered the modern world. His gift, his genetic advantage, is what separates him from the average human. While his talents give him a survivor's edge, immortality can only be guaranteed by the nectar of the ambrosia flower. Ira is a Doxie, a young man born with the ability to produce ambrosia nectar once he consumes the flower. Like any Doxie, he wants nothing more than to serve the gods, and give them the ambrosia that makes them immortal. And if he's really lucky, he will be loved by the god who eventually claims him.

Georgia born and bred, I am an artist, a writer, and a general pain in the ass.

I spend most of my days working on my next book or designing cover art for other writers. For stress relief, I do Olympic lifting and occasionally run (but hate it). I have been in love with writing since I was very young but it wasn't until recently that I decided to pursue it as a profession.

I have experimented in several genres and found that since I identify as male, male romance has been the most comfortable for me to write. I don't discriminate in my books. All characters are fair game. I do, however, prefer a happy ending at some level.

I don't write the standard romance book. Some might even argue that what I write isn't romance at all. Personally, I think of them as love stories, where even in a fantastical world, there are realistic outcomes to the obstacles the characters face.

Bound Gods: Bitter Sweet graphic novel is now on Webtoons for free.

Good news! The Bound Gods spin-off (*BL) graphic novel, Bitter Sweet, my patrons are enjoying can now be read for free on Webtoons. 

Bitter Sweet posts once a week. Pages one and two are already up on webtoon. The pages will be censored but you won't miss any story elements. 

If you join my patron they are 28 pages ahead and uncensored. You also will see two other mini-comics (NSFW) along with other art and bonus material from the Bound Gods book series.

*BL (Boys Love)

webtoon link

**BL** Gods walk among us. Men born with gifts, some of which border on supernatural. When they take ambrosia they become immortal. But the flower is addictive, and the bloom is very slow to grow. Doxies produce ambrosia in their bodies once they consume the flower. These beautiful men, serve the gods. They have no rights, yet are the gods' greatest treasure. Jinx has lived on the streets all his life. He never imagined he'd see a Doxie in the flesh.  Let alone have his heart stolen by one.

Every follow on webtoon helps the comic do well. You can also "like" each page to help.

New Bound Gods mini-comic: Chimea Kittens

I am creating another humorous Doxie mini-comic. The first one was "Chimera Christmas." You can read the uncensored version at any patron tier.

https://www.patreon.com/BoundGods

"Chimera Kittens" is going to be longer but with lots of Leo/Kaleb NSFW times. 

$3 and up patrons will get uncensored pages (one to two a week). 

$1 patrons will get censored pages. Once the comic is finished all patrons will have access to the uncensored PDF copy. 

Sneak peek: here is page 1

Poor Kaleb had a hard night...wonder why? Leo...what did you do?

 

Artwork of Keegan from Wild

Hey! This is MinionS. Adrienne is working HARD on finishing Nox as well as doing some writing on Pandora. And he's working on improving his art skills. The goal is to illustrate the Wild graphic novel. Here is his practice drawing of Keegan. I'm thinking he nailed him! (totally worded that so it sounded dirty). There are a few other drawings on Patreon that will eventually get posted here too :)

There is a 350-word excerpt from Pandora on Patreon. It is a pretty emotionally tense scene between Pandora and Ishtar. You can read it as well many other things for as little as $1 a month :)

Got any questions or feedback for Adrienne, feel free to say!

Bound Gods graphic novel update

I have had a time trying to find an artist for the Bound Gods graphic novel. I have an excellent artist, Inochihime, for my Doxie Diaries: Jinx and Ira: Bitter Sweet, but I wanted a different style for Bound Gods. So, for now, I am going to do the comic pages.

The first four pages are up on Pateron. They are intro pages giving the reader a taste of what the world is like after the Collapse. Here is part of page four. Whose car is that leaving the protected area? Where are they going? If you've read Bound Gods Book One: Chimera then you know!

https://www.patreon.com/BoundGods

Graphic Novel updates: Bound Gods

This is minion Sharon. Adrienne and Pello stopped by to discuss cool things happening on the Patreon. An artist has been hired for the Bound Gods graphic novel! More details will be coming. Pages for the Doxie Diaries story Jinx and Ira are already posting. And an Alton origin story is posting. I am Team Alton...fight me!

Pello is a lap dog.

Good news and the Bound Gods graphic novel

Hey! Adrienne's assistant here. Adrienne posted this over on the Bound Gods Patreon page. A lot of great stuff coming...like a Bound Gods graphic novel!! Can you imagine the artwork? *fans self* 

Dear Patrons

I want to let you there is enough membership now for me to put up at least two pages a month because I am doing my best to meet pledges dollar for dollar. The guy I am interviewing for the Bound Gods comic is very stoked. I just have to make sure he can pull off the character drawings as this seems to be the hardest for EVERYONE I have interviewed (over the past year) for this project. He's also very, very excited to do as many pages as possible---I told him careful what he wishes for. This means, if he gets the job, every penny on Patreon will go to him to keep him busy. I'd love, love, LOVE to see 4+ pages a month. I'd love to see enough, on the first annual birthday of this page, to put to bed the first full graphic novel to send out to patrons.

You have given so much, and I am overwhelmed by how generous you have been. I'm hoping it won't be too much to ask for you to spread the word. That, in my experience, has been the GREATEST way to get a project out, book or comic, where people can see it. There are folks out there who are not big novel readers (Shocking, I know) but they love yaoi comics or comics in general and would never know this is here without you. See, Patreon hides any page with adult content. You do NOT come up on searches, you do NOT come up on direct lookups with the name of the page or author. The Bound Gods site is basically in the proverbial basement behind a locked door with some big scary chick (chick, cause man, have you ever seen a woman fight, they're terrifying) guarding the door. And she has nine-inch steel razor nails and is looking to break one off in your face. Yup, that's how hidden we are. My only way to get things out is by hitting social media and screaming at the top of my lungs--and I am bad at that--really bad. Plus, when you toot your own horn, people tend to ignore it. Unless you fart, you fart and EVERYONE notices. Anyhow, if you take 1 minute out of your day, to post two links to this site, tell them what you love, what you hate, what you hope to see in the future, I'd be eternally grateful.

Also, $5 Amazon Gift cards go out at the end of this month. If I don't have your email PLEASE send it to me so my assistant can collect your address and we can get stuff out promptly to you. I will also be doing a T-shirt design and Logo. I'm gonna start with two different ones and put up variations of those logos for you to look at and vote on. The T-shirts will be a reward for higher tier Patrons in the future, all other Patrons can purchase one at a discount as well as those who just pass through. I will also have magnets, key chains, and if you have a suggestion for something else, let me know. These will go out to other tiers. Basically, everyone will get something.

So again, wave your Bound Gods banner (maybe I should make some of those little team flags) and tell the world about what they're missing.

More naughtiness on its way, so please stand by. But don't fart, farting never wins friends. Just ask my dog.

Doxie Diaries: Ira and Jinx in Bitter Sweet webcomic has started! Plus some WILD news.

I've got some new things going on over on my Patreon. The Doxie Diaries webcomic has started. The first story Doxie Diaries: Ira and Jinx in Bitter Sweet is about a young godling named Jinx. He hasn't taken any ambrosia yet and lives outside of the protected areas. His special skills are opening any mechanical lock, great a climbing (think extream parkour), unshakable balance and can land on his feet unhurt from any height. Ira is a young Doxie who has never had ambrosia either. He was hidden from the association outside of the protected area and has spent the last two years in a locked room.

There will be humor, angst and lots of smut...this is a Bound Gods story after all. The first page up on my Patreon and available to everyone for free. Page two can only be accessed by paying patrons for now. Eventually, each page will be free (but censored), patrons will always be many pages ahead and uncensored.

There will also be short stories. A Slice of The Past Story: The Death of Trust part 1 is up for paying patrons. This one is about Alton's past.

Coming up
I am interviewing artists for a Wild graphic novel. I've seen some awesome artwork and hope to hire someone soon and then show you some samples.

Secret Project Revealed!

I'm considering doing Bound Gods in a graphic novel.

HOWEVER---I am having difficulty finding an artist. One...the material being *cough* dubious and two...the "feel" of the story in the figures. If anyone out there knows of an artist that can do sequential art (comic book cell style) with a mix of American manga but in a dark theme, please pass the word. 

This will be a paying job. I am not asking anyone to work for free. If you're a reader and can do this kind of artwork, even better. :)

Anyhow...please pass the word. Right now I'm taking up sample art from people who have shown me a portfolio with art that resembles what I'm looking for. For those who have the right style/artwork I am paying for a sketch of a character to see how well they can take instructions.
