Welcome to the Night Drive
I’m Ira James, writer of dark romance and mythic space opera with a Wyoming heartbeat. Expect fierce intimacy, clean prose, and an afterglow that lingers. Buckle up.
What you’ll find here
Craft notes on tension, consent forward heat, and pacing that breathes.
Lore drops from The Veil Beyond (spoiler‑light world-building + symbols).
Spicy snippets and deleted lines I couldn’t quite quit.
Night‑Drive field notes: photos, soundscapes, and the one detail that made a scene.
House rules (the kind that keep it hot and kind)
Consent leads. Desire is a map; we agree on the route.
Aftercare matters. Heat → trust → long afterglow.
No yucking someone else’s yum. Curiosity, not contempt.
