Gratitude Box

$5
per month
A quiet offering. No monsters, no drafts—just love and support in a little dark box.

Description:

This tier is for those who simply want to support the shadows without needing anything in return. You’re tossing a coin into the darkness, feeding the ink, and helping stories grow behind the scenes. No frills—just my endless gratitude and a whispered thank you from the writer's cave.

🖤 Includes:

  • A heartfelt thank-you
  • Occasional general updates
  • Early drafts of commisioned art
  • Eternal appreciation from a monster-hearted author

Even the darkest stories are lit by tiny acts of kindness. This is one of them.

Monsters-in-the-Making

$7
per month
Witness the beast before it learns to speak. Read the story while it still has blood on its teeth.

Description:

Step into the shadows where stories are still shifting, snarling, and not yet stitched together. As a Monster in the Making, you get early access to raw, unedited drafts — the earliest glimpses of what’s to come. This tier is for readers who love seeing the bones beneath the skin, the flaws, the fury, and the heart that beats before the polish.

🖤 Includes:

  • Beta reader access to unfinished or first-draft stories (chapter by chapter style)
  • Behind-the-scenes peeks into the writing process
  • Occasional author notes, rants, or raw thoughts
  • Deleted scenes or early lore drops
  • Your name in the acknowledgments (if you'd like)
  • ARC copies of the completed stories via Bookfunnel
  • First look at commissioned art 

Come closer. The monster’s still becoming — and you’re part of its making.

Collector's Heart

$15
per month
For those who love to hold the monster in their hands—inked, bound, and bleeding.

Description:

This tier is made for the devoted but patient soul—someone who cherishes signed paperbacks but prefers them less frequently. As a Collector’s Heart, you’ll receive one signed paperback of your choosing from works published during your subscription period. Think of it as a slow, sacred offering—one heartbeat at a time.

*Rewards unlock after 3 months of steady patronage—monsters reward patience*

🖤 Includes:

  • Ebook copies of recently released works
  • One signed paperback of your choice from books published during your time at this tier (shipped periodically)
  • Access to all lower-tier perks (beta reads, behind-the-scenes, etc.)
  • Your name in the acknowledgments (optional)
  • Occasional surprise extras tucked in with your book
  • Quarterly swag mail

You don’t just read the monster—you claim it, cradle it, and give it a shelf to haunt.

Marrowed Shelf

$25
per month
7 Day Free Trial
For those who don’t just love monsters—they archive them.

Description:

This tier is for the most devoted souls—those who want not only the newest beasts, but the ones that came before. As a member of the Marrowed Shelf, you’ll gain access to signed paperbacks of all new releases during your subscription, plus the ability to select one book from my back catalog, including special editions (as available).

These are the true collectors—the ones who keep monsters close and stories sacred.

*Rewards unlock after 3 months of steady patronage—monsters reward patience*

🖤 Includes:

  • One signed paperback of every new release during your subscription period
  • Access to choose one signed book from the backlist or special editions (when in stock)
  • Everything from lower tiers (beta reads, early access, name in acknowledgments, etc.)
  • Surprise extras in your book mail—dark bookmarks, notes, art, or whispers from the in-between
  • First dibs on limited editions or signed bundles

Stories bleed. You collect the stains. Welcome to the library where the shelves whisper and the books bite back.

Welcome to the Heart of the Monster

A sanctuary for marred hearts, dark minds, and the ones who still believe in the power of stories.


This membership was born from rebellion.


After years of navigating platforms that devalue indie authors—siphoning earnings, burying posts, and constantly shifting algorithms that make us doubt our voices—I had enough. Places like Facebook, where one day you're visible and the next you're invisible, where genuine connection is replaced by metrics and reach, their lies in making us think that making groups would be any better... it all made me question the system.


So I'm walking away from the noise. From the gatekeepers. From systems that treat our stories like disposable content and our readers like data points.

I wanted something raw. Honest. Personal.


A place where stories are sacred again—and where the monsters are ours alone.


No algorithms. No exploitation. Just a shared love for monsters, broken things, and the words that give them voice.


Here in my membership, you’re not just a reader. You’re part of the bloodline that keeps these stories alive.



What You’ll Find Behind These Walls:

  • Raw & Unfiltered Access
  • Be the first to read my stories in their earliest forms—rough, bleeding drafts before they’re edited and bound.
  • Signed Paperbacks
  • Depending on your tier, receive signed copies of my published works, including occasional access to backlist and special editions.
  • Behind-the-Scenes Lore & Notes
  • Peek into my chaotic brain—notes, lore sketches, deleted scenes, character secrets, and the threads I stitch into every dark tale.
  • Surprise Extras
  • Exclusive art, dark bookmarks, handwritten notes, and strange relics tucked into your book mail—each one a piece of my world.
  • Acknowledgment in My Work
  • Many of you have supported me long before I could afford to print a book. Now, your names can live inside them.


FAQs

This Is For the Ones Who Stay

If you’re here, it means something. You're not just a reader passing through. You're a soul who understands that monsters are more than just teeth and terror—they're metaphors, memories, and pieces of ourselves we’re learning to love.


Thank you for being here. Thank you for keeping the ink flowing.
