Foreword
You may be wondering where we've been? Ann has been busy with her graphic novels and I, Wayne, have been writing under a different pseudonym.
It's no excuse. I can and often do work on multiple projects at once and churn out one-two thousand words a day.
The issues are deeper - some I can talk about and some I cannot.
I needed to put out a book under the other pseudonym. It went from an 80,000 word, normal novel to a massive 140k+ endeavor. It's done and dusted now.
The other major issue involves the very nature of Transformations itself. When we first conceived of Transformations (a long time ago now), we wanted to see if it was possible to take a porn concept and create a big, rambling science fiction saga out of it. If you're still reading our work at this point? We suppose the answer to that question was 'yes'.
When we started out, there was an issue we hadn't considered: as you draw ever closer to the conclusion of a story this big? There's going to be more story than sex in the climactic
erotic
novels.
We've had to abandon two Transformations stories because they either had too much sex and not enough story or vice versa. We had good story ideas that just had to end up on the cutting room floor.
So here we are with the Second Book of Adam. It's important for the story as a whole - a continuance of the 'Hero's Journey' if you're familiar with the concept.
There's a short list of stories that must be told to bring Transformations home. They are in order (more or less):
Transformations: The Second Book of Adam
Transformations: The Trial of Dr. Demona
Transformations: Hellstorm
Transformations: Ad Infernum
Transformations: Ad Astra
The Demonica novel we were going to write just doesn't fit. Yes, it would be a fun departure into my horror writing roots; however, it isn't necessary for the overall story.
Maria Marapova's origin story will be included (in abbreviated form) in Ad Infernum. There will be no standalone: Transformations: Maria Marapova, although Ann's cover with its pseudo-Cyrillic typeface was pretty kick-ass in my opinion.
The Trial of Dr. Demona will be a hell of a lot of fun and I'm chomping at the bit to write it, same with Hellstorm.
Honestly, I would put off Ad Infernum and Ad Astra as long as I could, but that wouldn't be fair. They are the conclusion to the whole story and that will make them bittersweet - when you live with these characters in your head for over a decade? It'll be a little like putting them to rest.
There are no massive works in the queue for that other guy who looks like me but writes very different books - at least for the foreseeable future.
We hope you enjoy The Second Book of Adam.

Ten Years Ago
The man thrusts into his wife. It is not fucking, it is making love.
David and Helen Pritchard are in love. Their marriage is young, yes, but they feel they have loved one another their whole lives. This is magic, human magic, what every human who's ever lived hopes for and only a select few actually experience.
He moves within her, filling her, the sound of the Atlantic waves crashing against the Long Island beach keeping rhythm with their dance.
She cums and he feels it, feels her body squeezing him just as tight as her arms encircling his ribs.
He holds back, slows, kissing her lips gently drawing her against him.
David feels the storm in her body quieten.
Then he begins to move again, and she moans. She bites his lip, draws her nails across his back.
It's so hard to hold back, to make it last. The drive to release inside her warm depths is overpowering.
She locks her legs around his hips. "Inside me. Inside me. Please..."
They've been trying to get pregnant, and they miss no opportunity to make their dream a reality.
She laughs as he cums, filling her with his seed for what will be the last time.
Then they collapse into each other's arms.

"Don't go, it's too windy," Helen whispers from the tangled sheets.
He pulls the zipper of his wetsuit up. "That's the thing about wind surfing - you need wind," he says with a smile.
"Har, har..." She rolls onto her stomach and smiles. "I could entice you."
He sits down beside her. "You could definitely entice a sailor from the sea."
"Hmm," she whispers. "I hear a
but
."
"Just a quick jaunt and I'll be back." He touches her face. "We can have lunch in the village."
She smiles.

David slips aways from shore, heading into the breakers. He heads east away from shore, thousands of miles ahead of him is Europe.
A shorter distance to the south lies Cuba where insanity has taken hold - an insanity that will soon spread to the entire world.
But David has no lofty goals of exploration.
A few hundred yards from shore, no more.
And then back to her.
He does not see the wave build, the rogue as tall as a five-story building.
A fluke the locals will say. Something no one could have predicted.
It strikes, a wall of dark green and cold.
David's world turns upside down as he is driven deep beneath the surface of the Atlantic.
And, in that cold, love dies and even gods may cry.
