A Home for the Marred, the Monstrous, and You
For a long time, I’ve been trying to find a space that truly feels like mine. A space where I can connect directly with the people who read my stories—the ones who see the monsters and understand them. The ones who read the broken hearts and don’t flinch. The ones who stay.
Over the years, platforms have become increasingly unfriendly to indie authors like me. Whether it's social media algorithms burying our words, or giant storefronts taking large cuts and offering little in return, we’ve been made to feel like we’re screaming into the void. Worse, we’re made to question our worth.
That’s why I’m stepping away from the noise—and into something more intentional.
The Membership Is Coming
I’m building a direct membership space—a home for my most loyal readers, the dark-hearted romantics, the monster lovers, and the curious souls who want more than just the final, polished product. Through this membership, I want to offer you more than content. I want to offer connection, access, and presence.
This is a space without gatekeepers, without manipulated visibility, without the need to chase attention just to be seen.
What You’ll Get
Depending on your tier, members will have access to:
- Beta reads & raw drafts — read my stories before the edits tame them
- Signed paperbacks, including new releases and access to select backlist titles
- Behind-the-scenes looks into my process, lore, deleted scenes, and character notes
- Surprise extras tucked into book mail—bookmarks, art, handwritten notes, and little pieces of my world
- Your name in the acknowledgments of my published work, if you wish
- An invitation to stay close to the creative fire that lights everything I do
Whether you just want to support quietly or build a collection of signed monsters, there’s a space for you here.
Why Now?
For quite some time now, I’ve thought about creating a membership space—time and time again—ever since readers began bringing up the idea. I wasn’t sure when the right moment would come. The timing never felt quite right. But now, I know it’s time to take that leap of faith.
Because I'm not blind to the system, the one controlled by platforms that don’t truly care about storytellers. I'm tired of watching algorithms decide who gets to see my stories—and who gets lost in the shadows.
I want to create for readers, not algorithms. I want you to have something real. Something tangible and touched by my hands and not filtered through a cold, indifferent system.
Let's build something beautiful and haunted together.
Coming Soon
The membership will launch very soon, and I’ll be announcing the tiers, rewards, and how to join. If you want to be the first to know, make sure you're signed up to my newsletter or following my socials (for now—before the algorithm buries me again).
Thank you for walking beside me through every strange, scarred story. I can’t wait to show you what’s next.
