Announcement: Secret Book Project
Good evening, lovelies!
I want to thank everyone for their support while TikTok tries to pull the rug out from under me. You all being patrons is what allows me to do this work full-time, and I could not be more grateful. In fact, I should be able to go on book tour next month!
Thus, I think we've earned a little treat.
I have been working on another stand-alone novel. It's a Greek myth retelling (no, I won't tell you which one) that I'll likely be self-publishing either next year or in 2027. It's something my literary agent got me working on after conversations with publishers who later ghosted us. Rather than have it collect dust, I've decided to upload the chapters here, onto Patreon, while I finish up Demons' Nest and work on producing more YouTube content.
This is only a second draft. It is not the final product. Remember when I uploaded the first draft of Heart of Iron on here a couple of years ago? Yeah, it's gonna be like that. However, because this is a second draft, more polished and cohesive than a first draft, this will be available to $2+ patrons rather than $1.
Is this "reward" really just another way for me to entice new patrons and also encourage $1 patrons to double their pledge?
Have you ever heard of a win-win scenario? ;P
First chapter drops next week, and then I'll be dropping another one every day. The second draft is actually complete, probably only one or two revisions away from going to a professional content editor that I'll hire myself, since this will be a self-published book. I'll likely use a Kickstarter campaign to pay for that, as well as the line editor/proofreader and cover artist--but that'll be months from now, long after I've finished sending out orders for the last Kickstarter.
These chapters will be in Verdana font (for my dyslexic lovelies) and PDF for easy access. Have a good night!

I can't WAIT
Just a suggestion that may or may not work for you regarding YouTube lengths. Shawna the Mom posts her shorts to both TT and YT, but when she pieces the whole thing together and puts them up, there's extra footage that wasn't in the shorts. I wish I'd known she did that sooner, but it might help views and therefore revenue??
Oooh, color me curious this sounds interesting. 🔥😍
Sorry I didn’t know where else to put this - are you still doing the stickers at the $5 level because I haven’t received one in a while.
Yes, I'll poke Fiend and see what's up
So glad. And thanks for the special font. It means I can actually read it instead of having to wait for the audio book. Speaking of audiobooks, will you be doing this as an audiobook as well? (Down the line).
That's the plan--essentially the same thing I did with Heart of Iron: self-pub the print/ebook, sell the audio rights
Yesssssssss
Legit just upgraded tiers. I just finished Heart of Iron and it’s cemented my love for your writing!
Looking forward to next week. I'm going to guess it either has do with Medusa and Queen Penelope.
Between Epic the Musical, my friends' Hades themed musical Stories from Styx, I am always down for Greek myth retellings 🔥 🔥 🔥
What's the hades themed musical called? And can I read/listen to it?
Yay Verdana!!!!
I saw secret book pop up at the top of my screen and clicked. I’m so excited to read it next week. I’ve been bingeing YouTube all week making sure to not skip the ads so you get paid!!! You are amazing and I love supporting all of your content. Keep it up.
Oooh can't wait
Yes! Oh my gods this is amazing! I'm a Hellenic polytheist so I love Greek mythology. I'm not much of a reader but I'll read this! But I do love writing and I'm acknowledging how hard it is so congrats on another going to be book!
"Youve been working on a secret other novel? This entire time?!" Lol that feels familiar. I'm so excited!!
Awesome. I will probably check it out. Got heart of iron on friday, already halfway done with the book. Probably going to buy a second copy to donate to my local library
