I am an amateur writer, currently writing a fantasy story 'Mother of Learning', available on my fictionpress account. Here is a brief synopsis:

Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems.

As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere...

Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill.

Anyway, a fair number of people have asked me about rewarding me for my work, so I am opening this Patreon account to facilitate that. The site, for those who don't know, allows patrons to set up an automatic payment that will donate a specified amount to the artist's account every time they post new content. In my case, that means every time I post a new chapter.

Mother of Learning is still free, and will remain so. I am writing as a hobby, and intend to continue writing the story regardless of its financial success (or lack thereof). However, donating money will motivate me to spend more of my energies on it than I am currently and leave me with a warm, fuzzy feeling at the encouragement I'm getting.

If you are interested in worldbuilding related to my story, you can visit my wordpress page for more MoL related content. There, you can also find link to various fanart and translations I have received over the years.

For those wondering about my update schedule: I currently update a new chapter every three weeks. Target date for the release of every new chapter can be found on the top of my fictionpress profile.

I thank you all in advance for your patience and support.

(For those of you who have asked me about an alternate method of donation, you can do so by making a payment to my PayPal account, using the following e-mail address: autonemesis at gmail dot com. The address has been slightly modified to reduce spammer traffic, so you'll have to convert it to proper form before using it. You can also use this address to send me a regular e-mail, if you need to speak to me privately for some reason.)
