Nox book 2 news!

My patrons and newsletter subscribers already got this information and I want to share it with you too!

The second Nox book is already at 95K words. I'm thinking it will top at 120K. That's just my first draft...so it will be a while before it releases. Maybe March 2021 (affected by revision/edit)

The series is called Wolves Incarnate. Book two will be called Anubis (Wolves Incarnate #2 ). It's looking like there will be four books in the series.

Below is the first excerpt (unedited) I've shared from Anubis. Poor, poor Reese (lol). I will share a longer excerpt involving Luca and Nox in my Dec 7 newsletter (patrons get it sooner).

Poor, poor Reese!

Enjoy...

*names of things may change or be cut out since it’s unedited.

Excerpt

Reese poked at the chicken on the plate. His stomach threatened to retaliate. He picked up the plate. “I’m not going to eat this, and Kary said Jonathan should eat.”

Charles stood.

“Here, you can take this out to—”

“Do it yourself.” The man whisked past Reese and out the back.

“…him.”

Muffled voices came from upstairs. Movement shuffled in the other room. Jonathan’s shadow remained on the porch.

“Fine, I’ll do it myself.” Reese would just make sure to drop it on the nearest piece of furniture and make a run for it. He stood and carried the plate out to the front porch. Jonathan leaned against a post with his eyes closed. The two rocking chairs and a small table had been flattened into a pile of lumber.

Damn it. Reese inched closer and held up the plate. “Kary made you a plate of food.”

Jonathan opened his eyes. “She made that plate for you, not me.”

“No—”

Jonathan narrowed a look at Reese.

“Okay, she made the plate for me but I’m not going to eat it, so I figured it was better not to waste it, so I brought it out here.”

“Thanks.” Jonathan took a step and Reese almost dropped the plate. “Sorry, you startled me.” More like scared the shit out of him.

Jonathan kept enough space between them he had to stretch his arm out to reach the plate. He took it and Reese retreated to the safety of the doorway.

“Just so you know, I scheduled two planes. You’ll ride with Nash and the Cana. I’ll ride with the others.” He took a bite of the chicken.

“Are you sending us to a different location?”

Jonathan swallowed. “No. We’re all going to the same place.”

“Then why two planes?”

“Because you can’t get within fifty feet of me without almost passing out.”

Reese wished he could argue.

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.

Chimera: Bound Gods Book 1 French Translation released

Bound Gods #1: The Chimera was released in French! If you have French-speaking friends let them know and ask them to please leave a review there.

AmazonFR

Yes! This is a different cover. I am slowly updating some of the Bound Gods covers so they match better. This cover will also replace the English version.

Kaleb Holten’s father’s debt to an* underground group The Association has just been called in, and the man can’t pay the loan. Instead of turning over his wealth, he releases his son and Kaleb finds himself thrown into a world where a class of men see themselves as untouchable. Going so far as to call themselves gods.

After the Great Economic Collapse, there are no laws that cannot be broken. And Kaleb is forced into a ten-year sentence of servitude where he will have no say, no rights, no value and yet be coveted and protected as if he were a priceless treasure.

Leo Roan, has slipped the noose the Association bound him with by breaking his addiction to ambrosia and Kaleb Holten was supposed to be his last assignment as a doxie Master. But something about the boy begins weaving a new net that will not only ensnare him but the conscious darkness inside, that craves pain, agony, suffering, and death.

Visual Timeline of the Bound Gods Books

Bound Gods Timeline

A reader suggested I do this (thank you) to help give a visual as to where you are time-wise with each book. I will include this in future books and insert them into the paperbacks. I'll put them in the ebooks but I'm not sure they will show up because Amazon flips to the first chapter. I'm going to put out 11 and 12 together to hopefully avoid any wait time and or more confusion/frustration ;).

What does an Anubis lools like?

Wonder what the Anubis in NOX looks like?

Nox by Adrienne Wiilder in now available on Amazon

Adrienne Wilder's newest release NOX is now available on amazon K.U.

NOX
1by Adrienne Wilder
April 3, 2019
A nude man invades Luca Suarez's home and protects him from creatures who cannot exist. 
Creatures hunting him. 
The stranger can't tell Luca why. He can't even tell Luca his name. 
He remembers nothing until the moment he sees Luca.
The only hint Luca has to the stranger's identity is a tattoo on his wrist: N o X

Nox doesn't know who he is, but he's sure of three things, his memory loss is temporary, the monsters chasing Luca are called Anubis, and his Alpha, Koda, sent Nox to protect him.
There's just one problem… Koda is Luca's brother who was murdered five years ago.

With each passing hour, Nox fills in the pieces painting an impossible truth. And with each passing hour, both men find themselves unexplainably attracted to each other.
Something Luca is willing to embrace because he has nothing left to lose.
And one Nox can't let happen because it could get Luca killed.

Nox is a HEA/HFN m/m paranormal, science-fiction romance.

But be warned, these are NOT the shifters you are used to reading about.

Review: The Claiming (Bound Gods Book 6) from Sinfully Gay Romance Books

Great review of The Claiming (Bound Gods Book 6) from Sinfully Gay Romance Books

4.5 stars

 "I think Adrienne Wilder did his best to emotionally destroy his readers with this book. One thing after another, each worse and, as forewarned, ending on a cliff-hanger. The running storyline has held my interest through six books and doesn't show any signs of slowing. With all the betrayal, the hints of danger to come from men, monsters, gods and the universe I'm not sure how much more intense this series can get, but I'm buckled in and ready." -Debra from Sinfully Gay Romance Books

Excerpt: Bound Gods book #6: Marud

When you're forced to face just how vicious your anti-hero is.
Unedited excerpt from Marud.

*Azazel said something to the men he was with before coming back on the line. “I have to ask Alton, how well do you know this Marud person?”

“Well enough, why?”

“Because it looks like these people were torn apart.”

They probably were.

“We found three bodies in the stair well, one of the had been skinned. Hern says it had been done while the man was alive.”

“If that’s the worst Marud did, be grateful.”

“Cerberus said something about him being indestructible. Please tell me he was exaggerating.”

Alton walked into his private quarters and gathered the documents he’d taken from the library. “I wish I could.”

“Fuck. Is he even human?”

“He’s a god, so yes.”

“If I hadn’t seen the carnage for myself, I would have never believed there could be anything more brutal than the Chimera.”

Alton nodded even though the man couldn't see him. “Just be glad Marud wasn’t angry when he took out those men.”

Unedited Teaser from BOUND GODS - Marud

Marud (Bound Gods 6) will be the next book released. Here is a little teaser (unedited).

A small part of Marud had worried the years of abuse might have damaged that part of Jessie. But after this morning Marud knew that was not the case. Jessie was as much of a Doxie as any high-bred boy from Alton's stalls. In some ways, he was more. 

Come for me, Master. 

Yeah, he was so much more. What Doxie could order a god to surrender? What Doxie would? Jessie had only been with Marud days, and already it felt like he'd been at Marud's side for years. Marud might have prepared for the day he would no longer be there for Jessie, but the boy would suffer.And the god was sure, if anything happened to Jessie, he would not be able to live. Not because of the loss of the nectar Jessie made, but because Marud's honor would be broken and the shards would bleed him faster than the knife that once slit his throat. He would keep going though. Only it wouldn't be ambrosia carrying Marud into the future, it would be his rage.

Ever wonder what the Chimera from Bound Gods looks like?

 For everyone who has wondered what the Chimera looks like. I digitally painted this.

New Release: Crocuta Crocuta (Bound Gods #5) by Adrienne Wilder

Bound Gods #5 is now on amazon.

Bound Gods #5: Crocuta Crocuta
by Adrienne Wilder
June 2, 2017
For a god, what could be closer to heaven than living in a safe haven like Sanctuary, with an endless supply of ambrosia, delivered by the beautiful bodies of the Doxies in Alton’s harem?

But unlike the majority of the gods in Sanctuary who are less than human, Cerberus isn’t exotic or fantastical. His appearance, his…habits…have become the horror stories whispered on the lips of Doxies.

And while Cerberus might be immortal, his pride is not indestructible. Seeing the love of a Doxie for a monster like the Chimera, shatters it.

A chance encounter with an undocumented Doxie named Owen begins to transform Cerberus’s life. At least until Alton removes Owen from Cerberus’s care, banning the god from training the boy—to protect him from Cerberus’s animal nature.

In reality, Alton's motives are far more frightening. And the truth could kill Cerberus and Owen both.
