CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

For readers on a limited budget, I am trialing a subscriptions approach with Reamstories , with the idea that readers will be able to access an increasing portion of my current catalogue, regardless of level, and at some levels gain early access to upcoming releases, or sneak peeks at works in progress, and do so more economically than by having to purchase each individual title. 'Access' means the ability to read the listed title as part of a subscription, not the ability to add it to a personal library without purchase. By the end of January 2024, the benefits for each tier will be as follows: At the base Overwatch Tier: Access up to Chapter 26 of Mack 'n' Me: Blaedergil's Host , Book 2 of the Mack 'n' Me 'n' Odyssey series, with more chapters scheduled for February); Access to Mack 'n' Me: Odyssey , Book 1 of the Mack 'n' Me 'n' Odyssey series; Access to the first 14 poems from 365 Days of Poetry , with more to come in Feb

As many of you know, I have a Patreon page . This is what my patrons can expect for January 2024: Supporters at the Waving from the Docks tier: can read four poems from Another 366 Days of Poetry , scheduled for release later this year, can read four pieces of flash fiction from Another 366 Days of Flash Fiction , scheduled for release later this year, and can download the novella-length short story, Jalaya , to add to their personal libraries, until January 31, 2024, at which point it will no longer be available. Supporters at the Stowaway tier: can read eight poems from Another 366 Days of Poetry , scheduled to be released later this year, can read eight pieces of flash fiction from Another  366 Days of Flash Fiction, scheduled for release later this year, can download the novella-length short story, Jalaya , to add to their personal libraries, until January 31, 2024, at which point it will no longer be available, AND can download the novella-length fantasy short story The Lost King

The stand-alone edition of the novelette, The Lost Kings , released TODAY, and is now available for purchase. It can be found individually at any of the platforms on this Books2Read link , and it can be found as one of the stories in: A Collection of Battle and its Aftermath. For those of you wondering what it's all about. Well... The Short Version: It's about secrets, intrigue and family in the fantastical world of Entalamorn. The Longer Version: A city under siege. A dragon under cover. Five kings lost to time. And two orphans running for their lives. Hunted by invaders, Valan races to find his sister before those seeking them. What is it about their past that has an entire army wanting them dead? And who sent it? Can Valan find the only family he has, and escape before the sins of their unknown fathers come to rest upon their shoulders? How It Begins: Valan kept his head down, keeping below the top of the low, stone wall as he moved to get closer to the docks. It wasn’t
