DARK FANTASY & ROMANCE AUTHOR
We're Going Back in Time to 1985
Fathoms Deep is currently being finalised for publication on 30th April. While that's happening, I'm about to dive in and start writing Out of the Shadows: A Witching Pen Series Prequel. VIEW: THE WITCHING PEN SERIES
From now, anyone subscribed to any of my newsletters or mailing lists will automatically receive early purchase access (presale access) to my upcoming releases about 2 or 3 weeks before the publication date. You will be able to buy the eBook (in EPUB format) from either Smashwords or my Online Store and read the final version before anyone else. The link and code will be sent to you in a private email when access opens.
New Mailing List
I'm encouraging all new readers to sign up to my Mailing List (via Kit). If you're on my other lists, there's no need to worry - you'll still get the usual updates and the transition should be smooth (doubt you'll even notice!). The reason for this is I'd like to move away from Substack since it became more like a social media platform a couple of years back (which does not suit me and the way I work), and I am loving what Kit can offer so far.
Patreon Members
I will eventually be encouraging membership to my Online Store (hosted by Fourthwall) instead of Patreon. It launches on 20th March and it is brilliant over there! You get more for your monthly amount, and it's 100 x easier for me to manage, too. You get 5% discount and exclusive items even if you don't bother with membership; you can see items in multi-currency - it's just fabulous!
Summary
So this is how it's looking: I'll be transferring Substack subscribers to Kit soon, and Patreon members to Fourthwall later in the year. I think "online marketing" is all about finding the right platforms that work for you (and then hoping they don't change too much from their original vision).
