Next Steps For this Rich Sub-Genre
As I continue to write and publish my Ensemble HaremLit stories, I’ve been thinking a lot about the format and how I can best deliver these complex, character-driven tales to my readers. Compared to other Haremlit, Ensemble HaremLit packs a lot – multiple plot threads, complex character relationships, and a rich, detailed world to explore. That’s why I’m considering a new approach: serializing. That means writing half-length stories, similar to a 30-minute episode of your favorite TV show.
This approach will allow me to publish more often, which means you’ll get to enjoy more of my stories more frequently. I’m also considering running three or four series concurrently, which will give me the opportunity to get feedback from you, my readers, on which next episode you’d like to read next. This will help me to tailor my writing to your interests and preferences, and ensure that I’m delivering the stories you want to read.
My Ensemble HaremLit promise remains the same: to create stories with an overall narrative arc, as well as specific arcs for the main protagonist and the harem companions. This means that each episode will have its own satisfying conclusion, while also contributing to the larger story.
Some of you have asked my to follow up on the adventures of Cartographer Tremayne, and I’m happy to report that I’m considering this for one of my series. In addition, I’m excited to introduce two new series that I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
The Scholar Qian Harem Adventures are set in 19th century China and follow the journey of a young scholar as he searches for ancient objects of power to save the empire against a dark enemy. Along the way, he’ll meet fabulous women and mythical creatures, like Fox Spirits and Stone Guardians.
The Half-Prince Theodoric Harem Adventures are set in early Medieval France and follow the story of Charlemagne’s ne’er-do-well bastard son as he investigates reports of magical happenings throughout his father’s empire. He’ll encounter wonderful Wilde Sorceresses and seductive Light Faeries.
Finally, I’m also working on a new series called The Meridian, which follows the story of a wealthy playboy who buys a mysterious scientist’s silver mobile lab on a whim, only to find himself on a cross-country quest to rebuild an alien-detection device. His road trip will have him mysterious Russian spies and Midwestern farmer’s daughters.
To get you started on these new series, I’ll be publishing a collection of short stories that serve as prequels to each one, as well as a continuation of the Adventures of Cartographer Tremayne. This will give you a chance to get to know the characters and worlds before diving into the main stories.
I’ll start working the collection after I publish the final part of Prospector Finch’s Harem Adventures—halfway through chapter 3!
I hope you’ll join me on this next step in my Ensemble HaremLit journey. I’m excited to share these new stories with you, and I look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions along the way.
Thank you for your continued support.

They may be gone from Finch’s life, but they’re never gone from mine. Writing them changed the story. Losing them changed me.
HaremLit: What a Great Genre
When I started writing HaremLit, I wondered why? Did I have a new take on the formula: one great guy, multiple beautiful women who are drawn to his exceptional qualities, have lots of sex, and shape destiny. When I started reading HaremLit, this was tried-and-true approach that clearly works.
So what could I possibly add to all that?
Villains in Ensemble HaremLit
In Ensemble HaremLit, where emotional arcs, companion quests, and complex relationships take center stage, it’s easy to forget how important a strong antagonist can be. But trust me: nothing tests the bonds of love, loyalty, and lust like a credible threat.
And no, I’m not talking about moustache-twirling supervillains or cackling madmen. My villains tend to be… well, people.
