Guide Map for the Grand Opening

No ribbon-cutting or party streamers, but there’s confetti in my soul—the Patreon is live! This post is a guide to the story content that’s available at the various tiers.

Caravan Guard gives you access to a download of “Cleigh Moran and the Dancing Man,” an urban fantasy short story. I first wrote it years ago and undertook extensive revisions for the Patreon version. This present-day tale follows a somewhat impetuous investigator who hunts down renegades from a hidden magical society. His tools include a dangerous artifact from the First World War and a very unusual partner.

The file format is EPUB, which I chose due to the ease in formatting and the availability of free EPUB readers and browser extensions. If you use Kindle, you can email the file to enable access: https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle/email

Please let me know if you have any issues, as I’m hoping to use this approach for future downloads. I have two other Cleigh Moran stories that I’ll share if this one proves popular.

Charioteer aka the Chario-tier (sorry) opens up access to chapters from Blood and Lace, my female vampire/male hunter story.

In Blood and Lace, vampires are so deadly that hunters have to go after them with military operations. When Nicholas comes across a beautiful vampire in a wedding dress—seemingly rendered helpless—he can’t quite bring himself to stake her. That decision changes the course of his life. If you enjoy a heroine who poses a lethal threat to the hero, you’ll enjoy this tale!

This project is currently incomplete, but interest from patrons could change that! As it stands, there are 26 chapters and about 60,000 words of content, and it has all been revised and adjusted since the first twelve chapters debuted on Wattpad. Plenty of great romantic moments between Nicholas and Della abound, so you won’t be left in the cold (or hanging from a cliff) once the chapters conclude!

Festival God brings access to my more unusual offerings. The first story I’ll be sharing is a novelette called “Late Night Date Night,” a multi-chapter experiment in superhero romance.

Despite the popularity of superheroes, they don’t show up in print very often. I think that’s because it’s hard to meld the strengths of prose with the vivid style of comics—but I gave it a heroic effort! The result is a surprisingly cozy story unfolding over one summer night. It would almost feel like a contemporary romance…except for the secretive heroine and the epistolary interludes that reveal the world of LNDN is anything but ordinary.

That wraps up the opening tour! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see what I was up to. I hope you’ll consider becoming a patron. I only wish I could offer some celebratory food, but there’s no way to download funnel cakes and corndogs (yet).
