$0/moFreeHiddenPatron count not public
$1.99/moDragon HatchlingsHiddenJoin the Dragons' Book Club! Once a month, I'll write a column about all of my very favorite discoveries from that month's book-hoard, and all of my patrons can join in to share and swap their own recommendations. This is always one of the best days of my month! (I've found SO many great new books and authors through this club.)Also, once a month, you can post your questions about writing, publishing, fountain pen geekery, or anything else and have them answered in my monthly Patron Q&A video.
$3/moDragon LordsHiddenAs well as membership in the monthly Dragons' Book Club and the chance to ask questions for Steph's monthly Patron Q&A videos, all patrons at this level will get a shout-out in the acknowledgements to every ebook that Steph publishes herself and also an invitation to the private Lamplighters' Guild Discord server.In that server, you'll get to hang out and chat books, fantasy, romance, and more with Steph and your fellow patrons AND with the patrons of other gaslamp fantasy authors including Olivia Atwater, Intisar Khanani, Charlotte English, Tansy Rayner Roberts, Jacquelyn Benson, and more. All of those authors will pop in and out throughout the month and also take part in the monthly Discord Party, when every author will show up at some point across the day to discuss recent projects, writing-related topics, and answers to patron questions.
$5/moDragon RulersHiddenAll of the rewards from the lower tiers as well as early copies of every ebook I put out for myself (ranging from original short-short stories to novellas and full novels). I usually put out at least 4 every year, and I will always share copies with all of my $5 patrons before they're offered for sale to the general public. Members at this level will also be able to vote once a year on a new tie-in short story for me to write. (Note: for most of my publications, you will need to be a member of this tier during the month of publication to receive the ebook. However, the full Good Neighbors series of spooky-cozy rom-com stories and novellas will remain available to my Dragon Rulers until the end of 2023 so that new patrons can scoop up all of the original ebook covers.)
$25/moDragon EmperorsHiddenAll of the rewards from the lower tiers - and every time I publish an ebook with a paperback edition, I'll send you a signed and personalized copy of the paperback as well.
$50/moDragon AngelsHiddenAll of the rewards from the lower tiers and my undying gratitude!
$100/moDragon DeitiesHiddenAll of the rewards from the lower tiers, my undying gratitude, *and* once a month I'll share one of my short stories with members of this tier (usually one that was previously published in a magazine), along with a personal note about it.As the icing on top, every calendar year I'll choose one random month in which to offer every single patron in this tier their choice of ANY signed book from my backlist! :)
