Patreon Updates: May 2023

by Leave a Comment

Here’s the end of the month Patreon update. 🙂

This post is all about my Patreon page where readers can choose to subscribe, support, and follow my work.

It’s the fifth month and I am constantly adding exclusive content, with more content scheduled to “drop” on different days each month.

Curious? You can find me here, and see what I’m sharing.

The three “tiers” include different stories, novels, and audio. Each successive tier includes the content from the previous tier. So, if you choose Behind the Scenes PLUS, then you get everything, and a more personal story written just for you (but readable by other patrons in that tier).

And now the update of what you’ll find on Patreon at the moment*, with more content on the way:

Patreon Updates: February 2023

by Leave a Comment

 

I did say I wanted to post these Patreon admin posts on the 28th of each month, but I’ve got a book coming out February 28th, so I’m posting a few days earlier. If you haven’t seen my previous Patreon posts then you might need a catch-up. If you have, then skim this bit and jump to the update (ongoing) below.

I set up a Patreon page in January this year (with a few sneaky posts from December 2022 when setting it up). I’m useless at Facebook and social media, and I run foul of algorithms all the time, meaning that it’s a rat race trying to get eyes on one’s work. It feels like everyone wants to be seen, and everyone wants to be a star.

I get that. I really do.

But I also want to write more stories, and having a Patreon page where readers can choose to subscribe, support, and follow my work is a means of doing just that.

It’s early days, but I am constantly adding content, with more content schedule to “drop” on different days.

Curious? You can find me here, and see what I’m sharing.

And now the update of what you’ll find on Patreon at the moment*, with more on the way:

February 2023

  • The Butcher of Burrowsfield (Crime/2,484 words)

Something new

by 2 Comments

 

I’ve been busy and the short stories are backing up. 🙂 This is a good thing, of course. But I have a lot of content now, and I need a place to park it while I figure out what to do with it. 😉 The good news is I have an idea about that.

I’ve played around with different options for delivering paid content. I’ve settled on Patreon as a relatively simple way of providing access to short stories and additional content to monthly subscribers. Now, that might not be for everyone, but if you’re curious and want to know more and you like the idea of reading unpublished stories then this might just be for you.

Hold on to something… shameless links are “happening!”

I’ve put the link to my Patreon page in the menu at the top, but you can also click on it here.

So what do patrons get each month?

  • 1 or more previously unpublished short stories – lightly edited
  • posts about my writing with sneak peaks for upcoming releases
  • surprise content (most likely another story or short piece of fiction)
  • and related artwork/cover reveals

It’s not for everyone, but it allows me to “do something” with all my stories before I figure out exactly what I am going to do with them. If that makes sense. 😉 Patreon also gives me another means of fueling my writing with support from patrons.

Phew!

That’s it for now.
