Hello!My name is Aaron, and I love all things fantasy (and most sci-fi). I started roleplaying when I was twelve, and basically never stopped. Once I discovered LitRPG, it occurred to me that maybe I could finally find my own voice and expression in the genre.Why Patreon?To give folks who want early access a way to read unfinished work ahead of time. Or to see cool previews, inspirational art, of complete (unpublished) books (see Discord).What's up right now?Check my announcements posts. As of this writing (11-5-2024), I'm finishing approximately 1.8 books per month. You can read them at the $5 tier ahead of any launches anywhere else.What else do I get?In addition to the posts here, I offer free audible launch codes, early access to unpublished works, art, and conversations on the Discord. We've also let a few of our readers participate in story-building sessions (where we actually roll dice for outcomes in the series!), and even name (and design) characters in the series!Plus, let's be honest here, you're support keeps me writing.Why pledge at a higher level?I'll be releasing backlog and secondary books from my partners at Pivot Press. This may include sanitized romance (but still LitRPG) at a higher level. How often do you post?When I "launch" a book here, I try to post 2-3 chapters at a time, two or three times a week. I don't want you to wait forever.How can I help or contribute, besides financial means?Leave a review. Honestly. A good, well-written review that actually talks about why you like the series is worth more than any money. If you hop on Discord with proof of a solid review, I'll....well, I'm not allowed to compensate you. So, maybe a big virtual bear hug?What's Next?Father of Constructs 5 is releasing here. Resonance 9 is in writing. We'll also be releasing Dungeon Champions 2 soon (as of 11-5-2024) at the $10 tier. What about System Activation or SPITE?My goal is to get SPITE 4, the final book in that series, out early next year. That'll complete both SPITE and Father of Constructs. So, you're finishing Father of Constructs and Spite the Dark both soon? That's the plan.What's Next-Next? In 2025, we're going to re-launch Blood of Heroes with a LitRPG flavor. It's Captain America meets Dragon Slayers. We're also going to launch Shatterbourne.What is Shatterbourne? Honestly, too ambitious. It's going to "replace" Resonance as my main series for a while. Expect me to launch around 50&nbsp;chapters on Patreon, then&nbsp;release on Royal Road. Patreon subscribers will be getting 1-2 books in advance - which will be a huge change from my previous publishing cycle.Cool, but what is it? Shatterbourne is going to be my hugely epic fantasy series, with a LitRPG system. The plot summary will be something like this:He was born broken, his soul shattered. What he becomes after will change everything.In the high magic world of Ora, wonders exist beside horrors - vast cities live in isolation, separated by hundreds of miles of overgrown, dangerous wilderness. Olin's people were one of the few who could navigate the monstrous landscape safely. Then they were wiped out.Hunted by ancient enemies, hated for who he is, Olin will forge a new path. One of unstoppable gory.&nbsp;Why do you have an AI Disclaimer?Ai remixes what folks have created without consent. I do use AI art for marketing purposes, but will never sell the content. I pay artists for my book covers, and hire real people to narrate my books. We also have a team of folks who help alpha and beta read, on top of your basic grammar and editing tools. Until AI can be trained ethically, with the sources noted and compensated, I believe profiting from it is morally questionable.
