{"title":"Dominic N. Ashen","description":"Dominic N. Ashen is an author and avid reader, with a heavy focus on gay, kink-themed erotica. After spending his youth in search of books with characters who were more like himself - queer ones, specifically - he decided to start creating some of his own. His stories star queer protagonists, most often gay and bisexual men, and feature heavy themes of dominance, submission, and all sorts of kink. Dominic loves the fantasy, sci-fi, and horror genres, with a penchant for writing longer stories where he is able to weave in the sex and kink right alongside the plot.","products":[{"product_id":"distance-dragons-paperback","title":"Distance \u0026 Dragons - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt'll take a lot more than a necromancer, an army of the undead, or a dragon to keep them apart.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince first getting together, Khazak and David have rarely been apart for more than a few nights. They've been through a lot, learning to trust and depend on one another as they try to get to the bottom of the strange and dangerous events that have been plaguing them for months. Now that they've finally made it to the city of Manamequohi, they can finally start to find the answers they seek. Or at least that was the plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManame is a big city, filled with all sorts of magic-from its people to the items for sale. Covered in a dome meant to track all those who enter, it's a secure but still tantalizing target for someone seeking to empower themselves-like say, a mysterious necromancer. When the actions of this aggravating occultist force them apart, David and Khazak will do whatever it takes to fight their way back to each other, no matter the distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contains skeletons, training montages, bratty orphans, and (if it wasn't obvious from the cover and title) dragons!

He never expected that he'd wind up captured by an orc and turned into his pet; he expected even less that he'd actually like it. It all started when he was sitting in a jail cell, so desperate to escape that he agreed to trial by combat: The Ritual of Steel \u0026amp; Thunder. He opens the fight strong, but when his competitor manages to overpower him, things start to heat up and he realizes he may have signed on for more than he bargained for. \u003cbr\u003e Captain Khazak Ironstorm is the orc ranger responsible for David's arrest--and after defeating him in combat, his new owner. Initially amused by his slave's antics, something deeper begins to grow between them--something dark that draws Khazak in as much as it troubles him. More confounding than that are the feats of agility and speed his new pet seems able to perform as if they were nothing. What he does know is that if there is anyone capable of taming this barbaric human's behavior, it's him. \u003cbr\u003e A tale of romance mixed with some humor, adventure, and a heaping helping of kink.
