OK, folks. Patreon-posting of A FERTILE SOURCE OF RUIN, a space opera inspired by history, will launch tomorrow.
I'm dropping this here both to lock me into this decision (no take-backs now!), and to start a thread to which I'll add links weekly.
The first two chapters will be free-to-read, and the rest for subscribers only - but this will be great for accountability as I prepare to write Books 2 & 3 in The Dark-Eyed Nebula trilogy.
As promised, Chapters 3 & 4 of A FERTILE SOURCE OF RUIN are now up for Patrons.
There's a sneak peek of around 5 minutes of audio for non-subscribers, but from here on out full content is accessible at the baseline rate of $1 a month.
These paywall rules are part of the silly marketplace we inhabit. If I don't find an agent for this series, I'll indie-publish the book and audio later on. For now, enjoy if you're reading along!

Chapters 5 & 6 are now up, in audio and text alike, for Patreons following A FERTILE SOURCE OF RUIN, my wartime space opera inspired by Thucydides.
As we go along, each post not only includes a quick summary of where we left off, but also reflections on the history of the Peloponnesian War, political science concepts, and key historiography, as they relate to elements in my tale of dodging war and nationalism (in space!).
