Merry Christmas - Double ARCs!

Merry Christmas everyone!

As I've talked about, the last two Starship's Mage Anniversary Edition books will be launching in January and February.

To mark the end of the year, the return of the sun, and Christmas, of course, I've decided to put up the advanced reader copies of both Alien Arcana and Judgment of Mars.

The Alien Arcana download expires January 5, 2025.

Monthly Pricing

Hi everyone,

As we posted earlier, we've now switched over to monthly charges here per Patreon's new rules.

Due to some backend mechanisms, the price initially switched over at $5 per month. I've adjusted it to $3, but when you have a moment, please double check to make sure you're paying the right amount!

Thank you all for your support and I hope you have a fantastic holiday season.

Moving to monthly subscriptions Dec 1

Back in August, we learned about a Patreon update that meant we'd have to move away from our current payment model. Right now, I charge $5 per book when a new book comes out. Because of payment terms between the Patreon and Apple platforms, the current model is being phased out, so I was looking at the possible ways we might move forward.

Thank you to everyone who commented to let me know what would work bes...

Casual interview with Glynn Stewart: Artificial intelligence in a space opera setting

The following "interview" is actually a conversation over the breakfast table that happened today. Glynn and I were workshopping the topic for a panel that we'd like to get a few authors togethers for, and we thought patrons might be interested in the topic.

Watch out if you're sensitive to spoilers: we talk about how AI works in the House Adamant setting, and briefly touch on a topic that comes up later in The Old Guard.&nbs...

Sequel to The Exodus Gambit (House Adamant Series)

A princess on the run, a star kingdom on the line—can Lorraine reclaim her throne?

House Adamant #1 launched with a bang, with readers calling it an "enthralling" sci-fi twist on "gunpowder, treason and plot". When a bloody coup breaks out in the Star Kingdom of Adamant, Lieutenant Commander Lorraine Adamant is thrust into the heart of the conflict—not just as an officer, but as the Fourth Pentarch an...

A Wrinkle from Patreon

Hi everyone,

Over the last few days we've received a few updates from Patreon advising us that they are going to cease supporting per-creation billing going forward.

There is a bit of a timeline involved, so we are considering our next steps carefully. For us, Patreon has always primarily served as a preorder platform for non-Amazon readers, so I'm actually uncomfortable with the thought of moving to a subscription-based charge.

Currently, we see three o...

Hello everyone!

With the turning of the calendar, we hit two weeks before March 19, 2024, and the launch of the Patreon Edition of The Exodus Gambit.


This is the first series-starter I've written since 2021. In The Exodus Gambit, we see Lorraine Adamant deal with the loss of her family and Kingdom to a traitor—and with the costs and consequences of going into exile to find new allies.

Exodus Gambit Cover Reveal

I had plans for all sorts of clever ideas building up to the reveal of this, but then I ran out of time.

Coming here to Patreon next week and to Amazon on March 19, The Exodus Gambit, book one of the House Adamant series.


Lorraine  Adamant was just about done being a princess and ready to dedicate her  life to her Kingdom's star fleet—until most of her family is wiped out  in a bloody coup and the only hope of stopping the murderer... is her.

House Adamant Photoshop Fiddling

Trying this again, as the first post didn't come through well.

I've been fiddling with photoshop as we begin to spool up for The Exodus Gambit's launch and this is what fell out of my brain for the titular House Adamant.

No idea what I'll do with these, but I figured I would share here for your amusement at my mediocre clipart skill XD
