Yep, I’m pitching for Patreon again. I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to list the stories patrons can read on my patreon page, and you’ve probably seen the lists of stories – different parts and total number of words, etc. Well, the list is getting longer and longer!

I was using the blogs as a means of tracking the stories. But I can do that in a spreadsheet and save your eyes. So, instead, I’m going to post the highlights of what’s coming each month and at what subscription tier.

I had previously toyed with the idea of making some stories exclusive, but I’ve been encouraged to release them as eBooks*, which I have started to do. So this list could also be seen as a teaser for the short stories, novellas, and novels to come.

*Patrons read them first, and receive an eBook copy of the stories published on Patreon during the active months of their subscription. Stories from the different tiers can be read by logging into your Patreon account, or delivered directly to your email inbox.

So, without further ado, here’s what patrons can look forward to in August, along with all the content from previous months.

 

Behind the Scenes (Tier #1) 25 DKK per month (about $4 USD + tax)

One chapter every Sunday of the month until the end of 2023.

and

Seasonal (Tier #2) 60 DKK per month (about $9 USD + tax) includes everything from Tier #1

and

Behind the Scenes PLUS (Tier #3) 75 DKK per month (about $11 USD + tax) includes everything from Tier #2

and

“coming soon” to Seasonal and Behind the Scenes PLUS!

 

Typically, stories in tier #1 (Behind the Scenes) have been previously published.

Some tier #2 (Seasonal) stories have been published, but most are new with tonnes more on the way. Seasonal is also the tier to choose for upcoming advent stories delivered to your inbox during the festive season(s).

Stories in tier #3 (Behind the Scenes PLUS) are all original and written specifically for that tier, mostly because tier #3 patrons are okay with some experimentation!

I’m having so much fun on Patreon and enjoy the interaction with Patrons. I am also humbled by the support and inspired to write even more stories, often pushing boundaries with patrons’ encouragement!

Phew, that’s all for now.

More later!

There’s a birthday coming up. It’s a little ways off but a recent visit from M&D kick-started the whole thing with a record player. Yes, records, not vinyl, although I often use the word vinyl when talking about records. I have also been known to say “LP” in between.

Anyway, never mind that, I am so excited about working through my old record collection. I’ve heard the songs many times but I haven’t played my records for about twenty-five years. Maybe more. I don’t like to think about it.

Actually, that’s a lie. I love thinking about lying in my teenage room – how I ever fit in the bunkbeds I’ll never know –  listening to The Boss or Bryan Adams, a bit of Tom Petty, more Bryan Adams, a tonne more Springsteen before pinching mum’s Billy Joel or Phil Collins. I even listened to the Grease movie soundtrack – double LP! – over and over, getting up to change sides. That’s at least three times I had to slide off my bed to turn the record over.

So now I’m doing it all again and borrowing a tonne of vinyl – yeah, I said it – from the library.

I usually listen to music in the office, pretty loud, but upstairs.

The record player is downstairs.

Jane has started a Christmas wishlist, which is amazing because she never wishes for anything.

Top of the list, and the only thing on the list is…

Noise-cancelling headphones!

This could be a Random Author Photo of the Month thing, but it’s just me, a very, very long time ago.

Not sure how I went from cute to Ron Weasley, but I did. 😉

Petra hasn’t got time for cute pics. It’s Day 31 – the last day – of A Dog called Blitzen on Patreon!

Jes is one of the good guys. He’s also a bloody big Viking, so we converted the double kayak (2007) into a single!

Icebergs are bigger! Especially when Jes is in the little red job – the sportier of the two kayaks!

What is it they say about icebergs? You only see 1/9 of the berg above the water?

Of course, I was just as heroic, but simply can’t find the photos to prove it!

Petra’s pretty heroic, too, you know? And it’s the penultimate day of A Dog called Blitzen on Patreon!

After a fun trip down the River Spey in Scotland…

Our two heroes promptly fell asleep! Warning! Some drool might be involved!

Petra’s a bit of a hero, too! (No drooling!) And she’s still hard at work in A Dog called Blitzen. Day 29 is live on Patreon!

On July 28, 2010, we left Uummannaq…

And arrived in Qaanaaq.

Petra, however, is in Nuuk! It’s Day 28 in A Dog called Blitzen on Patreon!
