5 Year Update (Aug 2022) (Patreon)

Hi, all!

5 years ago, HFHM Ch. 1 posted to Literotica on Aug 31st. I think that I started my Patreon page the same day, but honestly don't know anymore. Between then and now, I've essentially lived two separate lives and some of the details are a little bit fuzzy for both.

For anyone wondering, it hasn't been easy. There have been a lot of late nights, some stress crying, and so much coffee at one point I developed a caffeine sensitivity.

The writer's journey is never easy. Just when you think you're picking up speed, you discover that there's a little more weight to carry. It can be hard to appreciate the road traveled when you feel so burdened by the task ahead, so I am stopping on the side of the road to look back.

I've written 6 HFHM books, 2 spinoffs, a couple short stories, and am starting a new series with Virgil Knightley (and maybe someone else 😉). I have 2.5 audiobooks out with more on the way. I will sometimes work with 4 artists at a time, I have several beta readers, and I typically average around 25k words a month for this page. I founded a publishing company that not only protects my work, but has the potential to grow into something bigger.

This has been an amazing journey so far, but I'm hungry for more adventure. So heres to five more years of honing my craft and the amazing people who have gotten me there. 

Above all is my Patrons. Without you all, I would absolutely be doing some form of boring ass job and none of these stories would exist. My other readers come next: whether you are from Lit, Wattpad, StoriesOnline, or YP (I haven't forgotten about you, that website needs to change their ToS before I post anything else there). Your enthusiasm is contagious, and even if you've never been able to support me financially, helping others find my work has helped me tremendously. Third comes everyone else who has helped me get here: friends, spouse, and that bottle of bourbon in my cupboard. I'm going to drink some of it when I finish book 6.

I don't have a whole lot else specific to share as I usually do, for this post is more about being thankful for opportunity to write about the Radley house. These characters are a part of me, and I feel like they may be a part of you, too.

Dead and Horny cover art is under production, once it's finished, preorders will open up. Secret Project 3 and 4 are experiencing terrible delays, please be patient. Secret Project 5 (Master Class) is halfway to the "Virgil promised he would write a sequel with me and we'd make an audiobook" mark in terms of preorders. For those in the know, Kitsune and Catgirl artwork have been unlocked for the book.

You all, I shall see you next month with the further adventures of the Radley family. Time for me to write about an ass whoopin'.
