Hey everyone! Exciting news: Sufferborn Chapter 8 & 9 is now live! In this one, Dorhen’s old man, Dag, finds a new friend (…or not lol)! And Kalea is finally willing to talk to Dorhen. So grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy the latest installment of my vaudiobook, an interactive reading experience, custom tailored by the author.
Before anything else, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has subscribed and enjoyed my videos. Seeing that people are enjoying my story honestly means the world to me. That’s why I’m doing this very long-term project—for free!
This calls for a little rant.
I am so sick of the subscription culture we live in right now. Every app, every creator, every platform wants you to pay a monthly fee just to exist—and I get it, people need to make a living. So do I. In fact, you can buy my books if you don’t want to wait for the vaudiobook series to complete. But for other people, it seems like they would’ve locked these audio experiences behind a pay wall. I, for one, started writing because I wanted to share worlds, not gatekeep them. (I’m one of those writers who believes writing is about ART, so sue me).
That’s why I’ve chosen to make my vaudiobooks completely free to watch. No paywalls. No memberships. Just stories—out there for anyone who loves dark fantasy and wants to dive into something rich and strange. If I can make a little ad revenue along the way, great. But what really thrills me is hearing your reactions and knowing my work is being experienced by people all over the world without a single barrier in the way.
That said, for those who want something tangible, the physical editions of Sufferborn are available at all major retailers. They make beautiful collector’s items and are a great way to support the series if you want to help keep it going.
So go check out the new chapters and drop me a line on the Contact page to tell me what you think. As always, thank you for being part of this adventure. For free. Forever.
