Zare Caspian is the lost princess of Galhara and everyone knows it. Her survival was an embarrassing oversight which the Nether Queen would dearly like to correct.
With flare for theatrics and skill with knives, Zare makes a place for herself as a mercenary in the world beyond the Nether Queen's reign. One day, she'll come back for the retribution.

The Legend of Zare Caspian is a literary fantasy adventure web series (whew!) releasing new episodes every Monday. Most episodes are around 1000 words, just the right length to reward yourself after finishing that spreadsheet/quiz/term paper/chores/feeding the kids on your Monday that is already very Monday-ish.
Zare inhabits a fantastical world full of color, culture, and creatures. Her adventures are varied and thrilling; and I would love for you to come along.
The first story, The Badlands Job, is finished and no longer available on the website because I'm in the throes of editing it for its paperback debut. A process delayed by the press of Stories That Must Be Written First, because they happen first.
Patreon is based on the idea of patronage, and it allows people to become patrons of the arts by connecting them directly to artists whose content they enjoy. Your patronage gives me the flexibility to devote more time to Zare. Bringing you closer to The Legend of Zare Caspian; The Badlands Job The Actual Physical Book, and a more reliable weekly dose of adventure on Monday mornings.
Every little bit helps.
I have other dreams, too. Such as launching a Zare podcast, or recording an audiobook of The Badlands Job when it's ready to go to print. Then there are the other stories and novels which ache to be written and released into the world for you all to enjoy. Right now, these are far in the future. But with your help we can bring that future closer.
You may have noticed all the concept art--I painted that. It's part of my writing process, with the added bonus of providing me images to share with my readers. I also paint pet portraits for a little side cash (That RL watermark is for my studio, The Raven's Landing). One of the little gifts of gratitude I'm offering is a small Patreon exclusive print.
Here is a little look at the piece:
Tiers
Countrymen
$1 or more per month
Every little bit helps! It's like giving water to an adventurer. In exchange, you'll get access to the Patron only posts! Extra tidbits, early access to news and announcements...tips for where to definitely NOT be at a given time...
Friends
$5 or more per month
A friendly face can make all the difference in the world. Every little bit helps bring us closer to overthrowing Narya the Nether Queen.

· Friends get a Patreon exclusive digital art download--you can put it as your desktop background or phone background to remind you of all the adventures.
Allies
$10 or more per month
Ally with Zare, fund the rebellion. Every little bit helps bring us closer to overthrowing Narya the Nether Queen.
