August '24 Newsletter

Hi there and welcome to my first Patreon Newsletter!

Before I get into it though, let me thank you again for joining me here. I hope you enjoy it. Your support gives me the opportunity to spend more time doing what I love best. And you know what that is...

Anyhow, I thought you'd probably like to know exactly what's coming and when. Especially in terms of the stories. So let me give you more information about it.

If you're new to Patreon you can find all your membership tier benefits under the 'Collections' tab on the homepage here. So that's where the weekly story episodes will appear.

'Lanie Comes of Age' starts next Friday 9th August and will be published on Patreon for you to access from 7pm EST. That's midnight Friday GMT.

If you're outside those areas let me know where you are and I'll confirm your local time. Subsequent episodes will be published every Friday at the same time.

If you saw the little AI video elswehere in here that I made when I was messing around with some software, you'll have heard that the series tells Lanie's story from more than one POV. And in doing so, it also follows other characters from Richmond's world.

To give you some idea what I mean, Episode 1 next week is written from Joe Barlow's POV (Lanie's brother-in-law), while the week after (Friday 16th August) features her boyfriend Roy.

You'll hear plenty from others too, such as Kev & Evie and housewives' favourite Dennis Talbot. To name but two. Or three. But I don't want to give too many spoilers away at this stage.

I want you to feel free to leave your thoughts and any questions in the comments section though after each episode, so we can hopefully get some conversation going about the series.

'Black Marks', my brand new interracial series will start in September, and you'll be the first to read that, ahead of when it's published elsewhere, with your exclusive early chapters which will be published here too.

For those of you subscribing to other benefits such as the Monthly Q&A, Story Votes, Character Creation, Writing insights or Captioned Images, these again will be published in the 'Collections' area. But Patreon will update you when they're available. Add your thoughts, feedback or requests in there whenever you like though.

In terms of how to communicate with me on Patreon, as a member you're always able to do that. You can reply to any post, send me a DM here, or even email me separately. I want to hear from you, my biggest fans. I want us to develop this Patreon together and make it the best it can be.

Patreon now also provides the ability to create an exclusive members chatroom community, so as this page develops that's something I can look to add-in as an extra freebie at some point if you guys want that too.

One step at a time though I guess. I need to get stuck back into editing next week's episode...

Cheers,

Tinto
