Okay, so I believe I was correct to name everything I try as “an experiment.” My delve into Kit (previously ConvertKit) is one such experiment. It works in theory.

However, Substack has all the tools and the audience reach I miss. I enjoy having things all in one place if possible, and this is something I had on Substack. I’m willing to do the work on transitioning back to Substack if it helps me be more engaged with those who care to stick around.

If you stick around, there is so much I plan on sharing with you!

In the Dragon's Lair -

I am taking a break from manic writing on our Dragon Tasker series this month and throwing myself into maintenance and when I write, I'm enjoying future stories from that universe or some new projects of my own. I'll go into that more on my scheduled newsletter, coming April 17th - on Substack.

Updates

The “Stories” section of my website will need to go away for now. But it is not gone for good. It is in transition. Substack allows me to continue those via a tool called “Sections.”

Dawn and I will continue to add to the stories of your favorite characters in The Dragon Tasker Universe to our Companions of the Dragon section. I also have stories I want to tell on my own. Those will be in the section called Building Souls. My other co-authors are waiting for their turn. I plan on setting up sections for those works as well. If things grow beyond this, we’ll figure it out. I’ll let you know.

I have so many characters I want to introduce you to!

Everyone will have access to the first preview posts of those stories. As they keep going, there will be a paywall on those - yes. But those able to support me in this writing endeavor will get first looks at the stories as they are written, including the continuing stories beyond the books. When the eBooks are published, paid subscribers get discounts on them through my direct sales site. I’m also working toward giving paid-subscribers discounts for merch as well.

Fans who cannot update to a paid subscription will still have access to the free eBook incentives, updates, and promotions - as always. They still get the sneak-peeks at artwork, plans, and future projects. That won’t change. Everyone still gets cover reveals and ARC offers before I open them to the public.

As a matter of fact, here’s your latest promotion:

Upgrades

I have plans to create spoken-word content on Substack as well. You can handle that via Substack and then publish it elsewhere. So, that should work out for my chapter readings and when I need to add voice-over to projects for fans who are visually impaired.

Substack allows for chat (I will engage this feature in the future). Substack allows comments on posts. Substack has integrated podcast, social media, and search engine capabilities. It’s a newsletter and a blog all in one that has the potential to grow positively for me, my collaborators, and my fans.

Most important? I will be better able to keep up with everybody and provide you with all the things, since all the tools are in one place.

Anyway, as cliche as this may sound - grow with me. Please stick around through this transition. I promise, it’ll be worth it.

In case you've missed it, here is the link to the reader magnet version of The Pack's Dragon and if you think you can handle some heavy-hitting tragedy, the second installment of the Ordian story of Pack Weylyn... Plight of the Pack.

Thank you for being part of this journey!

Events

Now, I have to go pack for the weekend. James and I will be couch surfing for two events - one in Raleigh, NC and the other at a small farm in Chapel Hill, NC. I’ll share the event info below. If you happen to be in the area, come out and see us! Tell us you’re getting the newsletter! We’ll do a little dance, take pics, and offer you our gratitude!

We write our stories for us, but also for you. Knowing you are reading our stories makes us so happy - you may never understand that feeling. But I hope you understand the joy you, as our readers and fans, bring us.
