New Year Patron Letter (Patreon)

I hope you all had fun ushering in the new year! I have an old man schedule, so I went to bed before any celebrating even began.

Last year was kind of wild for me. A lot of things happened, both good and bad, and it's made me reflect on what I want this year and where I want to be.

With that said, I should mention I'll be in Japan for the entire month of April. That's a month in Japan. I decided this after realizing I'm not in the place I want to be, so I'm going on a journey of self-discovery to find my inner dattebayo. Joking. Sorta. I want some time away to think about things.

I'm sure some people are wondering if a trip to Japan is expensive, and the answer is: It doesn't have to be. In fact, it's more expensive to travel from California to New York than it is to travel from the US to Japan if you know how.

On that note, are any of you interested in learning how to make traveling to Japan affordable? Let me know in the comments if you are. I'll create a newsletter detailing how I'm able to travel to Japan for cheap. This will include things like getting affordable plane tickets, booking affordable accomodation, etc.

I was struck by a bit of inspiration and decided to try something I haven't before, which is creating pre-orderable signed copies of a book on my website. I have made How to Tame Your Dragon Girlfriends, Volume 1 available for pre-order. It is in paperback. It will be signed. It is an exclusive deal only available on my website. This pre-order will last until April 15th and orders will be shipped on May 1st and 2nd when I get back from Japan.

That link above is where you can go to pre-order the signed copy.

Next up, Man Made God and A Most Unlikely Hero are back on Audible. I signed a contract with Royal Guard Publishing, so they will continue the audiobooks in my stead. This means each audiobook should be released sooner rather than later and you won't get long pauses with no new audiobook release like you had before when I was making these myself.

You can find them here:

 A Most Unlikely Hero, Volume 1

A Most Unlikely Hero, Volume 2

A Most Unlikely Hero, Volume 3

A Most Unlikely Hero, Volume 4

Man Made God 001

Man Made God 002

Man Made God 003

I do have a few more announcements to make.

Patreon tiers have been updated! Please remember to check the Patreon Collections Section to access your rewards! Each post should have a link to that tier's corresponding MEGA folder, where you will find all of the Patreon rewards.

Both Severing Time & Space and Arcadia's Ignoble Knight have been signed on to become a part of Tapas' Premium Novel service, which means people who've never read either can now read the re-release of the STNS webnovel and one of my earliest fantasy romance stories on Tapas. I'll send links in my Discord, which if you haven't joined, please consider doing so. I am trying to be more active on there.

Severing Time & Space will launch on 1/13/2025 at 11 AM PST and Arcadia's Ignoble Knight's launch date hasn't been decided, but it's looking like either a February or March release.

I know I say this a lot, but I am very grateful you guys are here. 2024 was not a good year for me, emotionally or mentally. While I don't hide my struggles, I try not to say anything because I don't want to burden people with my hardships. However, it is true that 2024 might have been the worst year for me in several years. The fact that you're all here, supporting me, means a lot. Thank you.

I feel like I had several more things to say, but I for the life of me can't remember them. I'm sure I will remember later and curse for forgetting.

Anyway, happy new year all of you. I hope we can usher in 2025 with optimism. Let's try to make this year the best one possible!
