“Winning the genetic lottery” by Ken haramiru. It used to be in Wreck 22’s treasure trove folders before they got deleted. It’s a great, semi realistic story that I’ve been trying to locate. So if anyone has this pdf please lmk.

The story is available, for purchase, at Smashwords. They carry some of the better erotica authors. I'm sure I read it years ago. I've followed Haramiru for a long time.

Do you know what happened to Haramiru. Judging by google, Amazon, Twitter etc. He’s kind of fell off the face of the earth sometime in 2017. Dead? Not writing anymore? I was really hoping for part 2.

He was married and he and his wife have at least two children.  He had a blog and that was probably one of the last things he posted.  He probably is very busy with other things right now.

...yep, entirely correct assessment of what went on in my life.

Have multiple kids, got promoted at work so now I get 14 hour workdays plus weekends, instead of the 10 hour weekdays and weekends off which I had when I was writing more actively. Add in a huge product launch during COVID lockdown, and everything added up to no free time at all.

That having been said, I'm making progress on Progenitor 4 now and am making updates to the various helper programs I wrote to track my blog, etc.

To quote John Wick... "Yeah, I'm thinking I'm back."

Your "Morgan's Curse" is one of my all-time favorites.

Welcome back! I ended up purchasing “Genetic lottery” on your Amazon page. To date it’s probably my most favorite story out there, you make it so believeable. I throughly enjoy realistic pregnancy stories, over due with twins is my bread and butter, I really can’t into that alien, 100 baby pregnancy crap, but to each their own. Now hyper pregnancy I can dig, being semi realistic and all. I also enjoyed Merlins Wang and stories involving pharmaceutical induced pregnancy, sudden pregnancy, mutiple women getting pregnant, etc.. Your stories come from a guys point of view and that’s makes it easier to immerse myself in. Bottom line thanks for your work, and I can’t wait to read Genetic Lottery 2, if that happens to still be a thing! Thank you

Apologies if this is a bit of a necropost, but I figured I'd give an update on Genetic Lottery 2 in particular. I presume that direct links aren't encouraged, so folks can google for it if they feel like it.

As a personal note, I've changed jobs a couple of times since my last post (nothing bad, just standard IT industry monkey business) and for once I've got something approaching an 8-hour workday.

Anyway, I recently decided that it's been taking me way too long to finish things. To be clear, when I said I was back, I was back. I have 107k words in unfinished stories now just in my hot-hopper, 20k of which are in Genetic Lottery 2. The problem is that I have a plan for what needs to happen in the stories, and those stories often trend towards the long side. And I tend to go back and re-polish them before I add new content.

But to force myself to move forward in a timely manner, I'm publishing to Amazon Vella now. Once a chapter posts, it's posted - it means I have to move forward instead of compulsively going back to re-polish from the beginning before I write new content. There will still be a complete ebook edition with another round or two of edits once it's done, of course. But if nothing else, seeing the chapters get released should provide a bit of a progress bar for my fans.

The one I've written the most on is The Fallback Plan, which is publishing twice a week and is pre-loaded all the way into March already. The first three chapters are, as it's on Vella, available for free.

The thing more folks here will be interested in though, is that I just hit publish on the first chapter of Genetic Lottery 2 after seeing this thread in Google today and feeling bad it. Truthfully, this series has some of the most interested fans and I post the fewest updates about it. I am going to try to post a chapter every two weeks, which isn't as much as The Fallback Plan, but the nature of GL2 means that I actually haven't sketched out the timeline as solidly as I had to sketch Fallback's timeline.

Anyway, to describe where the Genetic Lottery series is going...

Winning the Genetic Lottery 1 followed Jim as he went from an entry-level white collar job, to a place of great wealth - but huge responsibility for the future.

Winning the Genetic Lottery 2 picks up on his life five years later. His life is moving forward, but a small-town cabal of politicians sees him as a potential future threat, and makes moves against his family. Jim realizes that the only way to protect his family, is to get into politics himself.
