I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my brand-new newsletter — a place where creativity, insight, and connection come together.
Over the years, I’ve had the chance to engage with an incredible community of thinkers, creators, and readers. Now, I’m excited to take that conversation to the next level with something more personal and direct. Whether you’re a long-time follower or just stumbling across my work for the first time, this newsletter is designed with you in mind.
What You Can Expect
This won’t be just another update in your inbox — it’s a space I’ve carefully curated. Here’s the plan:
- Monthly Dispatch: This will be a once-a-month newsletter — no inbox flooding, just a steady rhythm. You can opt out at any time, though I hope you don’t.
- Blog Recap: I’ll start with a roundup of the past month’s blog posts, in case you missed one or want to revisit something.
- Project Updates: You’ll get an inside look at my current writing projects — where I stand, what’s next, and any exciting news, such as release announcements or new ventures.
- Reflections: I’ll share honest reflections on what’s been working and what hasn’t, so you can join me on this wonderfully fumbling creative journey.
- Life Updates: A few personal notes — little glimpses into my life that might resonate with you. What I’m reading, what inspired me, and what I’ve learned.
- Something Creative: I’ll end each newsletter with something special: a peek into my worlds. Think character profiles, short stories, Lucardian history, artwork, or other creative surprises to spark your imagination.
Why a Newsletter?
In a world of crowded social media feeds and fleeting headlines, I believe there’s value in slowing down. A newsletter is a space where we can create a dialogue that’s more thoughtful, more personal, and more intentionally directed at those who really want to hear from me, you, my beloved Lucardians (readers and explorers of my fictional world, Lucardia).
While newsletters are famously one of the most effective ways to stay connected — some studies show a $42 return for every $1 spent — this isn’t about marketing for me. It’s a way for me to give back — to share ideas, start conversations, and offer a glimpse into the process behind the work. I want to build a community!
How to Join
Joining is simple — just sign up here and you’ll get my first edition straight to your inbox along with a free gift, my short story The Curse of Acheron. And don’t worry: I respect your time and attention. Expect thoughtful updates, not constant noise. If you’re already subscribed to receive my blog updates, you’ve automatically been added to the newsletter — just making things easier! You should have received the first edition by now (if not, please let me know here). Of course, you can unsubscribe at any time.
Let’s Stay Connected
If you’re as excited as I am, I’d love for you to be part of this journey. And if there’s something specific you’d like to see or discuss, feel free to reach out — this newsletter isn’t just about what I have to say, it’s about what we can build together.
Thank you for your support. I can’t wait to start this new chapter with you. Oh, and I’ve made Dawn of the Lightbearer ebook just $0.99 for the foreseeable future to help celebrate!
Cheers!
