Hello, dear readers!
The journey of storytelling is a shared experience. While I sit behind the keys and pour my heart into weaving tales, it’s the engagement, feedback, and enthusiasm from readers like you that fuels my passion. I truly love being able to share the stories I always wanted to read growing up, and more specifically, the queer stories. I have loved reading about vampires and werewolves and witches and more – but I always wanted them to be a little bit gay. Or… let’s be honest. A LOT gay!
What I love so much about doing what I do is telling those stories, and the feedback I get from readers who are so happy to see themselves and their friends in my books. Representation matters and I am truly honored to be on this journey. All that said, I want to include you – my dear readers – into my journey more. I want to do more than just write and publish books. I want to build a community here. A safe space where you love the characters I write and I write the characters you love! I want you, the reader, to be a part of the process, and I want a place where we can come together and share in the joy of these worlds I have created.
If you’ve ever wanted to dive deeper into my creative process, see the cogs turning behind the scenes, or simply have a little more access to my universe, I have exciting news for you!
Introducing… My Patreon.
It’s actually been around for a while – and some of you are already Patrons (thank you! I love you!) but I am going to be more active with it than ever before starting this month. Now is the best time to get in on the ground floor of all the things I’m going to be doing with it.
