Bonus stories go beyond the main books! Explore a chapter or two from a different character’s viewpoint (like Rell). Delve into backstory (where did Pike get his flute or Jun his scar), deleted scenes, after story, or what if. Some of these stories come with my ebooks, but for most this is the only way to read them.


Access these stories via my Patreon. Some are available to everyone. Others are just for my patrons, so check out the membership tiers. I offer a lot of perks including exclusive stories and art, livestream performances, and Etsy giveaways.
