It’s been a hard week, as fast as it went. Although it’s let up in the last couple of days, the smoke from the not too distant fires was so badly infesting my area that people were forced to leave work early, outdoor events have been getting canceled, and the blogger’s had a bad headache all week from breathing it in. I’m just grateful that those fires didn’t reach us but I feel bad for the people in the areas of our state that it did reach. I really hope these fires will be under control soon and that the firefighters will come out of it alive and unharmed. I can’t say enough how grateful I am for the huge risk that they take to protect everyone from these blazes. Yet, through all this apocalyptic chaos, I’ve been keeping myself busier than usual by creating a Patreon page.
This past week, I had been working on the “About” statement of my Patreon page. In this statement I introduce myself as an author of science fiction and horror and I list the benefits of becoming a Patreon member. Once this page is launched, which I hope will be in the next week or two at the most, you can purchase a membership that can give you access to
- Short stories
- Concept art for my book covers
- Discounts on books
- In-depth articles on both today’s and yesterday’s science fiction and fantasy!
These are just a some of the many groovy things you will be able to get as a Patreon member that you can’t get here or anywhere else!
Along with the About statement, I’ve uploaded three images so far: 1) one of the cover to my short story collection, “The Fool’s Illusion”; 2) another of the cover to my short story, “Circa Sixty Years Dead”; and 3) a photo of my dealer’s table at one of the Sac Cons in Sacramento.

There’s still a lot of work for me to do on my Patreon page but as soon as I launch it you will be one of the first to know. If you really want to be sure you’re one of the first then Like my Facebook page and visit it frequently where I will be posting about my Patreon page as well.
Join me here Wednesday evening for an Insecure Writer’s Support Group post!
Until then . . .
Just keep working on it.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are in an area with fires. Hopefully they do get them under control soon with no loss of life.
And you have outdoor events to cancel? Lucky - nothing is allowed here.
Lucky? Outdoor events aren't much good when they get canceled! Lol although I see your point; my area's at least open to outdoor events even though there's possibility of cancelation. I don't go to many of the outdoor events though because I'm still trying to social distance because of the rise in Covid-19 cases in my area.
