I’ve had a few readers ask why I use Patreon since I’m not monetizing it so I wanted to share my thoughts… Starting out, Patreon seemed like a great way to share my stories, lore, artwork, and build a community of like-minded fantasy readers. #Fantasy #FantasyBooks #DarkFantasy #Author #BookSky

Storytelling is one of the most impactful forces in nature. To all the authors out there, your stories matter, now more than ever 🫶

The implications of this case are pretty massive! Tentatively hoping that it leads to more awareness, regulation, and accountability, but I guess we're optimists 😅 www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Insane to see the response from Elder Scrolls fans for the Oblivion Remaster. If the numbers are correct, Bethesda made a quarter billion in revenue in less than two weeks 👀 Power of nostalgia in action Build quality IP, treat fans well, and the value it can create over time is truly spectacular!

The story of Rustborn takes place in Valadin. Known as the Iron Hills, Valadin is the easternmost province of the Azean Empire, ruled by the Iron Order. A land of rugged, iron-rich hills, the earth is red from the sacred metal. More Dark Fantasy coming this Friday! @age-of-tempest.bsky.social 👀
