A Year of Short Stories
Imagine a short story every month that takes you on a new adventure. Now imagine getting to discuss the reading, with the author, in an exclusive online community. Imagine also that by reading the story, you're supporting an independent artist.
When you join my Warriors Wanted community, and subscribe, you do more than support my work: you're choosing to patron an artist who has spent time mastering the craft. It's the equivalent of buying one of my finished paintings in an open market, still drying. There are stories for every kind of reader.
Join me and discover new worlds!
