Hey folks! This Patreon has already grown far more than I expected, and I truly appreciate all of your support, whether it's simply recommending my books to others on Facebook, Reddit, and other sites, or tossing a few bucks my way every month. Now that it seems I'll be running this Patreon for a while, I'd like to poll you folks on what sort of format you prefer to receive your advance reader copies.

So far, I've simply been providing ARCs as PDFs since that's easiest to prepare, and I know it works on any device. However, from speaking with other authors (including Sarah Hawke, one of my long time favorites) I've seen that these authors also release epub format as well.

I've never created e-pubs, but I'm told it's relatively straightforward with tools like Calibre. I also understand e-pubs can be downloaded and read on most e-readers, though I assume most you are reading on Kindle. But I believe e-pub works for that format.

So, if e=pub is more convenient for you than PDF, I'd be happy to provide that format as well. So, let me know what format works best for you or, if there's another that works even better, feel free to mention that in the comments.

An ARC for Psionic Elite 1 (PDF only) will be up for a few more days. I currently plan to have an ARC for Queen's Kestrel 2 up on 11/14 in whatever format works best for everyone, and will have an ARC for Psionic Elite 2 in the middle of December. Let me know which format works best for you!

Why not both? In my case, 90% of the time the epub is a better option, but for some reason it doesn’t work for me on mobile, while pdf does. And pdf works with the Apple Books app, as much as I dislike using that option 😂
