My Weird Experiment

What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty and above all it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits out quantity. ― William S. Burroughs

I write dark fiction with complex characters who mess with your head. I also think everyone should get to read about Victorian poisoners and dystopian survival skills without checking their bank accounts first.

So I built this honour system: people who can pay enable access for those who can't. A paid Backstage Pass funds my writing time (murder doesn't plot itself), platform costs, reader scholarships, and coffee.

The rules are simple:

  • Choosing between groceries and my fictional murders? Choose groceries. Ask for a free scholarship, no guilt required.
  • Got disposable income and questionable taste in entertainment? Your patronage keeps this experiment alive.

Take a look at our Open Book to see patron numbers and available scholarships.

Still here? Welcome to our strange little experiment!

P.S. Yes, I suck at being a capitalist. No, I haven't figured out if that's a bug or a feature.
