Hey folks,
I have mostly set up a Discord server for discussions that I'm intending to connect to the Patreon soon (ish, probably late November if I'm honest. There's a lot going on)
That said, I've seen the chaos that happens when Patreon gets connected to Discord. People can find themselves added to servers they don't want.

2025-10-26 20:02:50 +0000 UTC View PostVoid Spheres has been released to the general public!
This version lacks the internal illustrations provided to our Kickstarter backers and, of course, isn't in hardcover.
That said, if you would like to leave a review of the book based on your KS copy, it would be appreciated.

Unsurprisingly to most, I imagine, I have inserted a sequel...

Hi everyone!
With three weeks to go until the full launch of Seekers in the Void, my new space opera adventure novel, it's time for your advance reader copies!
As my Patreons, you're getting eyeballs on this a few days earlier than everyone else. My current plan is to post this more widely on Friday!

Sometimes, as an author, something slams into your brain with enough force that you absolutely have to write it down or it won't leave you alone.
This was one of those. Seven hundred words of weird western that I have almost no context for and no intention of building upon.
Sharing it here so there's something for you all to enjoy. 2025-02-03 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post
