As some of you have already noticed, I've added my real name to the Patreon here and Royal Road. My name will be appearing on my books in future, albeit in smaller letters under my pen name - the Shirtaloon moniker is going nowhere.

I'd ask you all to be delicate because I'm feeling very exposed right now but if I was really feeling exposed I'd put on some pants. I love being a writer.

Nice to meet you Travis!

And we love your writing regardless of the name you use.

Austin Cagle

Still Shirt to me. :)

Doodlyboy15

I mean you wouldn't catch ME attaching my real name to stuff I post online. Can't imagine the stress, good on you though.

CoCo-Jin

Such a manly name lol

Jon

Huh, I figured you were a Humphrey. ;P

Still gonna call you Shirt. And yeah if I could walk around without pants all day I would.

CptJimmy

Would have been the best chance to troll everyone and say it was, Thadwic.

Kevin McGuire

How did you come up with your pen name?

Greg Lambert

Nice to meet you Travis!

Pants off party time!

Sean

Cool, I can add your name on my favorite authors note. Shirtaloon is already there but the intent of the note is that if I ever get amnesia I'll be able to reread all the cool books I read before. Having an actual name may bump it up my memory lost self's to read list.

Christopher Rhoades

You have a shirt already. Was probably time for pants. Or is pantaloon taken?

Anonymous

That ones on the ama like 5 times of you pretty curious. It’s back a few posts.

Mark Thorne

So why Shirtaloon instead of Pantsaloon?!? :)

Pants off dance off!

Allastin

Why hello there Travis, do you happen to be interested in pottery? Jk lol. Nice to meetcha…sorta….again? I dunno. Hope your day is coming along swimmingly!

Yes, if Jason has taught me anything, it's wearing pants can really up your game. Love the story, under any name.

Awesome thanks Travis! Sound like a pretty awesome name to me. Thanks so much for your work!

Thomas

People pay you $30k a month to write, you'll be fine 💜 You got this

mistermerf

It is taken. Repeatedly. Shirt/ Travis mentioned it in another comment recently. And lamented that he needed a cooler backstory 😉

Dominic Harney

You’ll always be shirt to me

Draugluir

Thanks I hate it 😛

mistermerf

It's all good, Mr. Deverell. I'm sure someone will do something stupid about it, but the rest of us appreciate the gesture.

Heath Miller

*chants* His name is Travis Deverell, his name is Travis Deverell...

Thanks Travis for this awesome work.

That's a smart business move, in my opinion. Webnovel monikers look strange on bookstore books.

Now I don't feel special for knowing. :P

TerrestrialOverlord

I do remember feeling a little disappointed when i bought the 1st audiobook that it didn't have your real name...Imma still call you shirt though...

Congrats, nice name

So you're telling me you're not a disembodied floating shirt with 20 ethereal hands constantly writing ?! Anyways nice to meet you (again) Travis !

Matt

Great name! You will always be shirt to us, but you real name is good too.

Anonymous

There's no need to harp on Shirt guys, he already lives in Australia. Historically you serve your punishments there. He's still doing his time. Let the man live. 🤭

Alexander Dupree

<3 thanks for trusting us have a good one.

s476

cool last name though ;)

Alan Fernando Elías Etcheverria

Speaking of names, I was reading some previous chapters and I started to think: Why has Jason Never EVER gave the next answer when someone says: "You are Jason Asano" and Jason answers "No, actually, my name is Jhon Smith. For soem reason some mad interdimentional god is trying to convince everyone, me included, that my name is Jason Asano."

TRAVIS!! TRAVIS!! TRAVIS!! Wait, does this make him T-Shirt? :p

Reno

You're braver than me. I've been anonymous on the internet since forever and I can't imagine attaching my real name to my (modest) creative work. On the other hand, it's better for you to own the reveal than to have it leak. I want to keep saying Shirtaloon. It's just too good.

Anonymous

Uses fake name, doesn't wear pants...this is troubling stuff.

Congratulations on going legit and being able to write full time. My brother and I live in different states but when we talk your writing always comes up. Keep up the good work! Also Travis is a fine name, I mean it isn’t like your name is Chad, or worse, Chet.

Big boy pants suit you, welcome to the realworld (tm) ;)

Hi Travis!!!! Thanks for writing this awesome story and sharing it with us!!!

Apotheosis

And here I thought shirtaloon was your real name

Paul Boros

Well-done you, Travis.

Aaron

Saw it on one of your PDF chapters. I appreciate you stepping out of your comfort zone, you write a kick-ass story.

Anonymous

Well, you’re lucky. Your actual name is pretty great.

Enzo Elacqua

I’ll be honest even if people track down what you look like I’ll still picture you as Jason. It’s too ingrained in my head

C D

Thanks for the awesome story ! I'm so glad to be contributing to you living the dream of all writers... earning a livable wage (or several times that). *wink You're even doing it all through actual people being patrons, legit sales, and even the RR freebie. Congratulations ! Keep On Keepin' On Travis Shirtsman (or whatever the kids are calling you these these days).

Nice to meet you Travis! If this NSW lockdown event ends at least you'll be able to start doing more public events across Australia if you wanted to. But now I have a question: are you "Travis with the Nukes" in the book? Is that character based off you? That would be cool!

Justin

Making more money than most authors could dream about and he's nervous about putting his name on his books. Absurdity!

Travis Deverell more like Travis Deverell... I’ve got nothing.

Elvis Malkic

Travis... I expected a lot, but not that

"The Shirtaloon moniker is going nowhere" ... ... ...That's about as honest as it gets. I'm a bigger fan now my guy!

Happy to meet you Travis. Thanks for brightening my days.

I cant be the only one that didnt know shirtaloon was a pen name..... For whatever reason in my head it was like sting or cher...

Forgive me if I continue to call you shirt in my comments and on discord.

Anonymous

As long as you keep giving us the wonderful content, you can call yourself any damn thing you want! You have managed to jump into my top ten favorite writers list, and that is quite a feat.

Hunter Vook

Exposure is good though, just own it!

Anonymous

Letters. That’s what in a name.

Monadologist

I saw before that you'd done at least one interview under your real name, was that a preamble to all of this?

Cameron C

Congrats coming out

Anonymous

Regardless of your name reveal, you're still the same person.

Jeff Scott

GASP, how scandalous!

Shirtaloon

Wait, are you saying that might now have been the case? Could revealing my real name have turned me into TV's Charles Shaughnessy?

Anonymous

How dare thee reveal thy name, the impropriety, the scandals, the delicious Argy fruit.

BlueSkyBlackBird

Turns out Shirts real name is Jason Asano and the webnovel is just a recollection of his adventures D:

Pants are way overrated, that's why I wear Kilts. And pleasure to make your acquaintance Travis, though if the planet's aligned and we got a chance to share a beer, I'd still call you Shirt lol

Philip Pleiss

Hey, you wouldn't be the first to expose themselves online, and you are definitely getting paid more than most to do so! Seriously though, we really appreciate your writing. I look forward to bragging to my friends that "I read that person's stuff when they were still using a pen name!" Kind of like people who brag about being a fan of Richard Bachman before he was "Steven King"

Anonymous

I saw Travis something in the chapter notification, only realized after reading the chapter, that it was that the author name had been updated. A rose by any other name still smells as sweet

Jlaristotle

Great story! Travis or Shirt

Z.W.Heald

All good my man. Love your work

Just keep writing for us!!! I love this series!!

Keep the words coming, no pics please, and we'll all be very happy!

Andrew Potter

Thanks for a great read, whatever name you go by.
