Live well, fight hard, earn your spot in Vick’s Valhalla

March 18, 2022

Last year we ran a bunch of polls in the Readers' Group about such things as a better name for my Readers' Group, favorite colors, and how we might build a stronger community. You gave us a ton of good advice, and we've been working our way through all of it and implementing things as we go. We asked about starting a Patreon page and were surprised--and unimaginably humbled--that so many of you wanted another way to support us. Today, Melissa and I are excited to announce that our Patreon page is up and running. Come check it out to see what kind of Patreon-exclusive goodies we’re offering!

In celebration, we’re running a “Your name in a book” special for new patrons starting with the Hersir tier. For anyone who signs up before April 1, 2022, I’ll name a character after you in an upcoming series. Your selected tier will determine what kind of character you’ll get. So for those of you longing to be a dastardly villain, the loveable and goofy sidekick, or victim #3, this is your chance to be immortalized in one (or more!) of my books.

Another thing some of you asked for was a way to participate in all the fun new stuff without impacting your budget, and in these days of ridiculous gas prices, supply chain issues, and other methods of legal price gouging, we are happy to announce a solution. This new solution also addresses a growing concern we share with the direction Facebook has been heading, the random bannings of people in our group by Facebook bots with no recourse and without our permission, etc. Along with the new Patreon program, we've also set up our own community! We're using Discord, which you can use free on all platforms (a free account is required, like Facebook). Click the link below to set up your free account and check out our new digs!  (We are not abandoning Facebook, but will be shifting most of our interactions over to Discord).

We're very interested to hear from you about these new programs. We aimed for maximum inclusivity and hope to make the new community as fun as the Facebook group has been (without the random bot-bannings ;)). Everyone is welcome, and we hope to see you over there!
