Support me on Patreon

You can support me on Patreon, where I share patron-first and exclusive updates, behind the scenes, livechats, stories and more. You support helps fund my writing, book trailers and travel to more events, and to improve what I have to offer to you.

‘Patreon is a membership platform that makes it easy for artists and creators to get paid.‘ In return you receive exclusives and sneak peeks into my writing and creations before they are announced on social media, my newsletter, or my webpage.

Rewards range from early access blog posts to exclusive posts, live video chats, behind the scenes, free eBooks, print books and special events.

Long-term goals.

• One of my long-term goals is to publish my stories as audio books. Your support will get me closer to affording professional narration. (I’ve had quotes up to AU$2000-7000 per book).
• Attend Lincoln Asylum with my books, and to meet readers in the UK.

How Patrons have already helped.

With Patreon support, I’ve upgraded to Zoom Pro, which has allowed me to attend online events (both in Australia and overseas), and host my own live Zoom chats and events, I’ve updated Scrivener, a writing program I use regularly, replaced my dilapidated desktop keyboard, and purchased ongoing stationary items to write first drafts (notebooks, pencils, printing paper). I’ve also purchased fonts for commercial use on book covers, and purchased foldable stands for book display at events.
Patron support has also helped towards travel to interstate events to talk about writing and steampunk.

How you can help.

Every support pledge helps me afford tools to improve my writing, and travelling to meet my readers and do research for future books. Your support also gives me the gift of time. Time to write, and time to create more characters and worlds for you to enjoy. And, for this, I am immensely grateful.

All paid Patreon supporters get a digital copy of Quarantine Reads (short story collection) on pledging. You also get early access to sneak previews, cover reveals, story excerpts, polls, and information on upcoming events before they go live on my webpage. There’s also bonus exclusives (not available via my website), exclusive original short stories, and other sneak peaks one week before newsletter subscribers. (It’s explained in detail on my Patreon site).

Higher level supporters get free digital downloads of original music (lyrics by me), a monthly shout out, a monthly Behind the Scenes video, links to a monthly video live chat, your name added to the credits of videos, digital downloads of eBooks, paperback copies of books as they are published, and bonus behind the scenes when I’m writing. You can even name a character in a book.
More rewards will be added as I get more supporters.

If you can’t afford to support me financially, you can sign up for my monthly newsletter, Tea & Tidings, or following me on Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, or Mastodon (Twitter alternative).

Feel free to help me promote my Patreon page, either by sharing my page on social media, in your blogs.
