Blurb: There’s something unsettling in having to tell a one-night stand that you’re pregnant with his child, when you yourself are a man, it gets…let’s call it complicated.

Ben rushed to the toilet, sliding into the bowl as he slipped on the bathmat. His fingers hurt as he smacked them into the porcelain moments before he spilled his guts out into the bowl.

His retching, the splash of liquid hitting water and the sting in his eyes were the only thing on his mind as he tried to get the poison out of him so that he could stop being sick. He really needed to stop being sick.

Please can someone make it stop.

Ben took a breath as he slowly straightened himself up. Hoping his stomach was over this burst. He grabbed at a handful of toilet paper and used it to blow his noise before he whipped his mouth and threw the clump into the bowl as he got to his feet. His head stayed on level, hanging over the bowl as he waited. A second, a minute, he didn’t want to stand, he didn’t want to be looking down at the bowl, but it was hard, these moments of calm.

Flushing, Ben stood over the sink, washed his face and mouth out before he grabbed at his toothbrush and started on his teeth. He couldn’t stand the taste, couldn’t deal with the fact that he’d spewed and even though he’d be here again, going over the same routine, like he had six times since last night. He needed to feel clean and without getting in the shower, his teeth were the next best thing.

Ben shuffled his way back into the bedroom then looked around. He didn’t feel that bad at that moment. Queasy, yeah, because of the recent spewing. But on the whole, his head wasn’t hurting, his body wasn’t aching and he didn’t have a temp. He was just vomiting, had been just vomiting for a week and a half now.

Ben did not understand why it was happening. He’d even been to the hospital about it and they sent him home after nearly a day on an IV and all tests coming back clean. He did not have food poisoning or gastro issues. He did not have fucking anything and the fact that he hadn’t spewed at the hospital itself hadn’t help, just got him home quicker.

He’d felt like a fool. Therefore, he kept it all to himself even though the sickness didn’t seem to be passing, didn’t seem to be anything even as he kept on doing it.

He drank as much as he could and he did seem to keep a lot of the water down. He even managed to eat a bit every now and then. Not as much as he’d normally consume but enough to say he’d eaten.

Smells seemed to be a big trigger. And the fact that he lived in a shitty apartment block meant there were a lot of them, at all different times. Each smell different from the next, nothing he could really track.

Breakfast was okay, toast and tea even, but any small waft of coffee and he’d be running to the toilet. The oily mechanic sweaty smell didn’t sit well with him either, which was weird, as it happened to be his favourite smell on a man.

Animal’s…he could not do them at all. Could not stand that animally smell they had, a smell he’d never really noticed until this last week. Dogs were the worst, they reeked in a way that got Ben backing away as quickly as he could. If one touched him, brushed against his hand, his body…well the last time it happened he was at his neighbour’s feet. Luckily, Daniel had been nice enough to wash away the evidence from the front steps.

Odder still was the fact that it took him four times under scolding water to wash the dog’s smell off him and he’d not been able to rest until he did. Could not sit still until it was clearly away.

A knock sounded around his apparent before Ben had made it to bed. He looked out towards the front of his apartment, even if all he saw from his position was the open bedroom door.

Why M-Preg

I don’t know if this is something should say or not. But I’ve never been a huge fan of m-preg. I say this as a person who’s only really read 2 series that had it in. one I cracked myself laughing when he found out (view had changed tho, now the...shocks wore off) and the other was…I can’t say I hated it and I really want to read book 2 but it wasn’t anywhere near my fav book.

One of my friends however loves them. And every time she talks about it I got a little closer to wanting to write one. Help bring the m-preg category some fresh stories.

First, however, I asked what males thought of m-preg, and if you can guess the ones that answered were about as much a fan as I was (and yes I say was). I don’t really blame them, I wouldn’t have wanted it even though I loved being pregnant. The birthing I could live without, but I let all those hormones run through my body I can’t safely say what happened through the 40 weeks of my seconds pregnancy, but I do know baby brain was how people described me.

I also had a horrible time (same child) with the start of the pregnancy. I vomited for literally two weeks straight, the smell of my partner made it happen. Cigarette, coffee and rubber dust was not my friend and that’s what my partner smelt like, even after he showered (tho it wasn’t as bad once he had).

Not the point.

After I asked the question I realised that if I went this way it would be written for one target audience. Women. (And yes, men could, can and might love reading them, but for the most, it’s much more directed at women than men).beta

So now the ideas slowly penetrating my mind as a few months past.

We started talking about it again, this along with vampires and all the other paranormal creatures the mm genre is lacking and I can’t really remember how it happened but I said I’d write her an m-preg if she’d beta it for me, and voila!

The thing is, and one I couldn’t quite predict, I fell in love. I love the idea and the world I’m starting to create. It’s much more a contemporary paranormal then a fantasy one, but we will get the full details on how these men are able to become pregnant. It might take the next book or maybe the one after but I know how it’s possible, I just have to wait until the guys figure it out.

The thing is, because this isn’t something I considered I’d love so much I decided it would be the most interactive series I’d ever write. Not only will my writing a sequel depend on if you guys like it or not but each pregnancy will be a lucky person’s change to put what you went throw onto a male.

Saying this, I am loving it. And there will definitely be 5 books because they are being written. Hell they are more than plotted out and the reason you’ll be getting book 2 because the men in 3 and 4 want to be chased and I am trying to write about the pregnancy, not wooing with the thought that they can get pregnant. And yes, I have read a book that claimed itself an m-preg when all there was, was a line that was like “now we’ve mated, he can have my babies”.

That’s not m-preg! And so mine HAVE TO BE, really can’t bitch about another book lacking the pregnancy and not have it in my own. That’s be bad, lol.

Anyway, I’m not sure if I actually answered the question. I started writing this series because a friend needed more m-preg and I’ve fallen in love.

Also make sure you keep me in mind, if m-preg’s your thing maybe you’ll be able to have a deeper say in how you’d like an m-preg to go. Or maybe you just need to torture a male, make him go through what you did. I’d be more than happy to write that out for you.

Bronwyn was always the ‘wait until the movie comes out’ kinda girl. This was because reading wasn’t her strongest point; the only books she was able to read were Baby Sitter Club: Little Sister and Paul Jennings anthologies

Add a 2yr old and another on the way, she needed a hobby, which she found in reading. Picking up a book opened a whole new world to her, one she never thought she’d ever be able to enter.
