Patreon Post and an Update!

The Q&A and Slush Prompt Pot posts for the 5$ and up patrons are now live on Patreon.   There’s also a neat DVD extra about the song that Seven for A Seal, the third installment of Happiness is A Warm Sealskin, was written to.

And as ever, if you only care about the short stories, then 1$ gets you access to the current month’s story and all the previous months.

https://www.patreon.com/DJGray is the link in case you want to check it out.  There is one free story already up there.

I’m working on getting caught up on the stuff that got shoved to the wayside during the month of November, which turned out to be a much crazier month than anticipated.   Including family funeral drama, 2 ER trips, 1 Vet Trip,  a Tornado, the Hobbit House Flooding, Baby’s First (eventually denied) Homeowners Insurance Claim, Day Job Drama,  Clearing up Flood damage,  weekend trip to MD, and of course, NaNoWriMo.

I have told my parents that all I want for my birthday this year is everyone to be healthy.   He muttered something about how buying something would be easier.

A longer update to follow later, for now the cats are attempting to attack our bowls of mac ‘n’ cheese.

Update: Patreon Shenanigans

So in an update to this post, I am deliriously happy to report that Patreon has acknowledged that they done screwed up and that they are not actually rolling out the updates to their fee structure that they had announced.   So I am thrilled they are being not evil in this particular way.  However,  they have burned a lot of trust and I will be continuing to watch and research other alternatives in case something like this goes down again.

You can read their apology post here.

So currently on Patreon is the story of why my mother has a Russian Motherhood Medal and then the December short story will be posted soon.

Any Patreon alternatives you want to drop in the comments, I’d be appreciative.

Sale and A Patron

There will be more reviews coming shortly,  in addition to the Book Log, I have a stack of media reviews to queue up.    Due to some illness, I’ve been a bit delayed in getting them up.   My apologies, everyone,  my lungs have been on a bit of a strike.

So there are two pieces of news that are quite exciting that I want to share.   The first being that I have sold a short story that will be included in the latest Lovecraft anthology from Alban Lake Publishing,  The Mad Visions of al-Hazred.    Publication date still to come and I will keep you updated!

The second major bit of news is that the Patreon for my short stories is now live.   Find it here .     I am super excited to have launched it and I am looking forward to seeing what comes out of that!

A lengthier update to follow later this week.   For now,  stay lovely and don’t eat those mushrooms the lady down the street offered you.  They’ll take you down the wrong sort of rabbit hole.
