Important Update: Sunrise (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

For those who don’t know, the Discord era of this journey has officially ended.

I’m posting this here because I know there were people who weren’t able to be there for the final day of the server, and I wanted everyone to understand exactly what is happening moving forward.

EVERDUSK is officially being placed on permanent hold.

That means the webseries is ending, the book series is paused, and my public appearances specifically as Jack Townson are coming to an end.

Comic-Con will be my final EVERDUSK book signing and my final appearance representing this era of my work.

I’m tremendously proud of what EVERDUSK became and everything we accomplished together, but I no longer want to keep myself tied to the expectation that I must continue it.

The existing stories, videos, music, pages, books, and memories aren’t being erased. They happened. They mattered. They will remain.

But I am moving forward.

I’m retiring the makeup, closing the Discord, ending the private sessions, and allowing Jack to finally remain where he belongs:

in the stories we already told.

I want to be transparent about why, because I think many of you deserve that.

This has been a very long and very difficult journey. It has been filled with incredible highs, beautiful memories, opportunities I never imagined I would have, and people I will never forget.

It has also had some really fucked-up lows.

When I began all of this, I was storytelling from a place of trauma. I was trying to understand the shattered pieces of my own life through characters I portrayed online. Eventually, those characters made their way onto the page, where I hoped their stories could inspire people who saw pieces of themselves in Jack and his world.

But the truth is:

I wasn’t completely me.

After all these years, I finally feel like I’ve found myself somewhere in the rubble. And for the first time in a very long time, I’m seeing things clearly.

So, with a heavy heart—but hope beating very loudly in my chest—it’s time to move forward.

It’s time to tell new stories.

Stories my children can enjoy. Stories that can inspire without consuming me. Stories that allow me to begin again with everything I’ve learned along the way.

After five years, I’ve finally made the decision to close this chapter.

I’m still creating.

I’m still writing.

I’m just doing it in new places, with new characters, while finally putting down the makeup and learning how to simply be…

me.

This Patreon, along with the existing Jack and EVERDUSK social pages, will remain. I’ll most likely still pop in from time to time when I have something I genuinely want to share. ❤️

Eventually, there will be an entirely new home for The Fantasy Couple, which Serena and I will roll out when everything is ready.

And we have HUGE plans for The Axe and Toadstool Inn.

It’s going to be another wild ride.

Just a softer one.
A more balanced one.
One with far more whimsy.
One where I can actually focus on my family, my health, my creativity, and, for once…

myself.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. Thank you for staying through the chaos, believing in these ridiculous stories, and helping turn something that once existed only inside my head into something real.

I promise the next adventure is going to have far less intensity and a whole lot more magic.

Also—

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY.

So I’m going to go shove an irresponsible amount of cake into my mouth. 🎂

Have a wonderful day.

And I’ll see you all…

Across the Haunted Vale. ❤️
