Hey, y’all! These days, it’s not often that I write under my H.P. Holo pen name, largely buried in writing as the surprise best-seller my spicy Edie Skye pen name became.

However, as I was writing Titan Mage, my first series under that name, a funny thing happened: Readers started asking for a monster girl series.

Now, monster girls hadn’t been established as a part of Titan Mage lore, and I didn’t want to retcon something so potentially complex into that world.

However, on my H.P. Holo pen name, I’d already written Monster Punk Horizon—and, in fact, I’d already planned to write a monster girl harem parody in that series (albeit a chaste one in the style of early-2000s harem anime like Tenchi Muyo and Love Hina). Moreover, Monster Punk fans have been asking me for a continuation of that series for years.

And I do love giving my readers what they ask for!

Since the basic groundwork was already in place, it wasn’t hard to re-work my original Monster Punk harem concept into a sexy monster girl series. As much as I love Pix and Jaz, they don’t fit the archetypes of the harem genre all that well, so I ended up creating a new cast for readers to follow. (The old favorites still end up making significant cameos, though. After all, I love them too much to stop writing them! )

Our MC in Monster Girl Tamer, then, is the heroic Axel Hunter Radcliffe. He’s from a family of Chosen Ones, destined to be his generation’s Chosen One … but he doesn’t know what he’s been Chosen to do. All he knows is that he’s fated to assemble a group of skilled women to do it—a “tactical harem.”

Things get even more complicated when he falls through a portal into the Dazzling Skies.

And even more complicated when monsters start turning into hot monster girl versions of themselves—Thicc Variants—and wreaking havoc across the Monstrous Continent. Are they the problem he’s been Chosen to stop? Or are they the essential pieces of the harem that will help him save the world?

He doesn’t know, but either way, these monster girls need to be tamed!

Obviously, a series of that nature would be written under my Edie Skye pen name, since that’s basically my shorthand for “This is smut.” (If spiciness isn’t your thing, be warned: It’s a lot spicier than Monster Punk Horizon was.) However, I also wanted to be clear that it’s set in a world I created as H.P. Holo.

Thus, we have this odd little situation where I’m co-authoring a book … with myself.

Spice level differences aside, this series continues the same redonkulous monster-hunting hijinks you know and love from Monster Punk Horizon (and the spicy scenes are largely skippable, for those who don’t enjoy that kind of content ).

Whatever your taste, I hope you enjoy it!
