Monster Girl Tamer #1 is out today!

May 16, 2024 by hpholo Leave a Comment

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.

Titan Mage Book Cover

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! 😊)

Read Monster Girl Tamer #1 HERE!

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! 😄

I Got Engaged and Ended Up in Another World!

An epic convention. An epic cosplay. An epic engagement. It was the best night of Kaito’s life—until the ground opened up beneath him.

Well, technically, a portal did. Either way, it sucked.

Now, trapped in another world with rampaging monsters, he’ll have to learn to survive. Fortunately, this world is conveniently similar to his favorite video game. And he’s got monster hunting experts (?) Pix and Jaz to show him the ropes.

With their help, he might last long enough to find a way home.

But if not, at least he’ll have fun hunting monsters before he dies!

Preorder Here!
Or Read a Sample of Book One Here!

Last week, you met my series protagonists Pix and Jaz, two girls who just want to hunt monsters and pay off their college loans. They were born and raised in the monster-dominated world under the Dazzling Skies, so named because its sky is taken up by thousands of glittering portals to other worlds, which constantly dump interesting loot and monsters for them to hunt –

And sometimes people for them to save.

Which makes the Dazzling Skies a perfect setting for an isekai story.

If you’re unfamiliar with the word – “isekai” is a Japanese term meaning “different world” and refers specifically to light novels and anime in which a character is transported from their familiar world into a fantasy world, often with distinct video game trappings.

I was indifferent to the isekai genre when I first encountered it several years ago, but as the genre developed and began to play with and parody its own tropes, I grew to love it – especially Overlord, The Rising of the Shield Hero and – I kid you not – Reborn as a Vending Machine, Now I Wander the Dungeon (Review here, btw! 😀).

And, while I hadn’t set out to write isekai stories at the inception of this series, I quickly realized that the basic structure of the world I’d set up lent itself well to such stories. This structure, in turn, would allow me to show the bizarre world of the Dazzling Skies from an outsider’s perspective.

Book 2‘s protagonist, Kaito, is from a strange world himself – a far-future version of our world where everyone has hyper-advanced biotech altering their perception of reality, and where a particularly angry breed of cow changed the course of history – but the world under the Dazzling Skies is far stranger than anything he’s ever encountered. Though, fortunately for him, it does share some similarities with his favorite Immersive Video Game series … 😉

Isekai Skies (Monster Punk Horizon #2) is set to release on Kindle Unlimited this November, and is already available for preorder.

And again, if you’d like to be one of the lucky people to read it early, be sure to join the Pug Scouts – our VIP Street Team! 😀 I’ll be sending out eARCs soon, and all you have to do in exchange for your free book is post a review once the book is live!

In the meantime, keep your eyes on the blog next week for the cover reveal of Monster Punk Horizon #3!  😀
