Why are you on Patreon?
I am not good at capitalism, but I like making things and not being homeless.
My income is based entirely on the sales of my books, which can fluctuate quite a bit month-to-month. Some months I crack four figures, others I barely break three - it's a roller coaster made of terror and income insecurity. Patreon offers me an island of stability amid all the chaos - however my sales run that month, I know I have a guaranteed steady income from those who believe in me.
What are you working on?
This September I'll be a featured guest at the Chicago Steampunk Expo, so I'm furiously trying to get my next Galvanic Century novel ready to release at that time, along with a few other steampunk related projects. It'll be the 7th novel in the series, bringing our story right to the doorstop of the first world war.Tiers
