This is the no-fluff, serious writer's guide to getting your novel started, edited, and finished. The five-draft method is designed to help you reduce your chances of overediting, which can stall your writing process and cause you to either never deem your novel finished or ruin it in any number of ways, including inputting too many slow sections, taking out all the interesting details and doing too much "showing" versus "telling".

Marcus has had it with the Space Agency and the flying chunk of experimental metal they said was a fully-functioning, state-of-the-art spaceship. The ship has had nothing but problems, and the Space Agency has done nothing but try to strand them out in deep space. Marcus is beyond angry, and he will do something about the Space Agency and Area 51 with Shaodw, Alera, Oliver, Lucia and Captain George's help.

Marcus may have thought his biggest problem was ensuring that they didn't alert the humans to their food creation and family expansion activities while they worked on taking over Earth, but a new threat is on the horizon. The Space Agency wants to recreate Marcus' spaceship fuel, which requires massive amounts of space dust. The problem with that is that Earth's atmosphere doesn't kill a nervous system-destroying bacteria present in the space dust. Can Marcus delay them until he can take over the planet, or will he have to change Earth's atmosphere and hope he doesn't kill everything?

The homeless shelter is renovated and ready to open just in time. They have less than a month of blood bags left, but circumstances on Earth have proven more challenging than they expected. Marcus hopes that moving them deep into the woods outside Beach City will provide them the shelter and safety they need to create their food and start Clan Carboni.

With the appearance of his old boss and ex-Bonded, Marcus is more than a little leery. These vampires are either going to be allies or competition. The race is on for Marcus to expand his businesses and take over Beach City before Caesar and Galla beat him to it or severely hinder his progress in turning Earth into a vampire haven for his family.

It all goes well in this paranormal medical romance until William realizes that he’s going to have to “perform” for the job. Using his own semen to propagate the reproductive cycle is more than a little weird.

In order to ensure he can feed his growing family and the family of his friends, Marcus must build the first blooddoll factory on Earth. Unfortunately, the living planet poses challenges. He's certain Earthlings would vehemently object to his plan to create humans for food, so he plans to hide his true intentions by opening a homeless shelter.

Kitty found Bigfoot, got to ride his bestial cock, and got her samples for the Betaism serum. Now, she's just waiting for the Gene Institute to give her the massive bonuses she's owed, so she can buy her mansion and live her true life. Unfortunately, none of the new alpha males have as huge a cock as Bigfoot, and it's a problem. She loved riding his cock. She'd have to find a way to get back to the forest - sooner rather than later, especially since she's sick with something she acquired in the forest, and she thinks Bigfoot has the answers.

Kitty Adroit is back in the city and in a new house with Bigfoot that she bought with her Gene Institute bonus money. Unfortunately, once the Gene Institute had their serum, they laid her and her coworkers off, stating that they had no new projects. Rather than be depressed over her job loss, she's determined to continue her work on Bigfoot DNA therapies. Her next project is Bigfoot birth control injections. Unless they want thousands of little Bigfoots running around, something has to be done, and if Kitty gets it right, she can have her cock and make a few million.

With the food supply running out, tiny vampire, Shadow, has no choice but to leave her home planet of Umbra in search of a better food supply. There's only one problem, Umbra doesn't have any spaceships. Luckily, there's an Earthling ship not far from her town.

Due to the Earthing's fear of fanged creatures, Shadow and Marcus had to make an unscheduled landing on Chivitas, a planet of telepathic vampires who hate shadow-wielders.

Can he do it before they are captured by the Elder Guard simply for being Umbra?
