I was a bit nervous about sharing it here, but TBH, poverty makes fools of us all and inflation is kicking my ass. So what I'm thinking of is to provide a link to weekly chapters of some of my fanfiction. I'm not certain if it will be my currently continuing stories, since that'd drop new patreon members sort of in the middle. What I'd considered is to drop a link, probably once a week, gotta figure out what day, and link it to my accounts on either Spacebattles or Fanfiction. If anyone has a...

Here's chapter 2, remembering that these are pre-release chapters, so they haven't have the full outside editing treatment yet.
Thanks!

Well, Royal Road demands a cover, and so, have a mockup cover. It's my mock up and as an artist... I'm a good writer. :), but it's an idea of sort of what we'll get when I get a full cover artist.

Well, here it is. Guardians of Iron, Chapter 1. Once again, you don't have to pay for this, and if you want to view it in another format, it'll also be posted over on Royal Road. Now, I will say that I'll be coming up with a new tier in a week or so, which will include a free copy of the finished ebooks of any story published here. I'm not certain what price point to put that at, but I'll be honest, It probably won't be 10 new books per month. :). So here we go!
Also note th...

So, going to be dropping some book chapters, which will ultimately lead to the fully published book. Now, the question I'm going to be asking is Patreon text posts have limited formatting capabilities, so would people prefer the text chapters to be posted to patreon, or have a link to an external site, or have a choice of the two?

Court Wizard Malagus the Fourth stood proudly before his king and the court. Behind him, the common rabble sat, amazed at the might of the wizard as he offered a curse worthy of the treason of the man kneeling before them.
“You will never endanger this kingdom again, Margon the Black!” King Richard said and turned to Malagus. “And my court wizard will ensure it. Tell us, Mighty Malagus, of your punishment.”
“Yes, My King! I shall inflict the curse of eternal suffering up...

A short bit part of a story I've been working on. Not entirely certain if it's going to be published yet, needs a bit more plotting, but here you go!

June walked through the grass, leaving no footprints. The moon was high over head, and in the distance, she heard the cry of an owl. Other than that, everything was quiet. She kept going, passing the high school she’d gone to. It was dark, no sounds save for the soft wind drifting past it. The little band sitting on the steps w...

Well, Visitors From Afar is finished. And boy, for a "short little fic that's gonna have Jim fight Hookwolf and go home" is sort of exploded. Though I generally don't post the actual fanfic to the patreon, here you go with the link.
And Now for something completely different! Guardians of Iron (working title) an original tale of alien invade...

My story, Visitor's from Afar, which started out as a short little story to have Jim get into a fight with Uber and Leet, is coming to its conclusion on Spacebattles.
It is currently sitting at 240K.
Fine. I am not good at this whole "limit your typing" thing.
Anyway, here's the link.

This is my rough of a chapter in my upcoming book: Five Things that Keep Your Book from Existing. It's not so much a manual of what to do, as it is a guide to obstacles that have hit me.
I'm also going to have some patron only posts coming up from a webcomic I've been working on.
“Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow.”
Someone who probably hasn’t ever sold a book.
Procrastination is the hidden killer of books. T...

Again, for one of my upcoming books!
“You ate peaches? In winter?” Ellendale stared at Mike. “How is that possible?”’
Mike blinked. Here he was, in a world with dragons and wizards and… this was what people were excited about?
“I bought it from the store, you know, a can of peaches,” he said. “Don’t you have that here?”
“Cans?” Ellendale brushed back some of her golden hair and stared at Mi...

The Pay-phone
I needed to get in touch with Jake. Big Sal knew about our little plan, and that meant that it was time to get out of town. Couldn’t use the bar. Sal had friends there. Couldn’t just drive to where Jake was staying. If Sal was following me… Or if he had someone keeping a watch at the hotel, that’d be it.
I saw a pay-phone ahead. Hopefully that local teens hadn’t busted it. But no, it was intact, a single light shining down on i...

Before the electric light, the nighttime was… well, when you slept. Artificial light, be it a lamp fueled by whale oil or some thick candles, was dangerous, unpleasant and dim.
And things were dark after the sun fell. Forget the movies you’ve seen, because they had to ensure the audience could see things. With no street lights, no bright city lights bouncing off of the clouds, night time could be pitch black. Gangs could run rampant, ranging from gangs of robbers to homicid...

Yes, I have been very slow. I know this Patreon was going to just be a way for people to toss some dosh my way, but I'd thought I'd get more out. Then 2021 happened. That's the story I'm going with.
So here's a bit from a non-fiction book I'm working on about "humble" technological changes that were anything but. It won't be long, but I think people might enjoy it. Note that this hasn't gone through full edits yet.

It's not exclusive to patrons, and I want to once again remind people that even patron posts will be made public after a while. This is primarily for people who like my writing and want to toss a few schillings my way.
But nonetheless, behold a new short story where robots face their greatest enemy. Zombies. Oh, and the mess zombies make. It's in PDF format, but at some point I'll successfully unlock the "understands Scrivener " achievement and provide a epub vers...

So, I'm trying to get this more active, since now I need money :). I'm starting out with posts from my blog, just to get things started.
Remember, everything on my patreon will, even once I start doing "early release" products, be available for free at some point (finished ebooks sent up to Amazon will be charged, but the base text files will remain here so you can read the story for free). So don't feel that you have to pay unless you love me so much you want to send me a million...
