An update i didn't expect to make so soon. Unfortunately, i'm probably not skilled enough for a Patreon post - i have almost no graphic design skills, art skills nor marketing skills (triple threat watch out)!
After a lot of traditional publication rejection, and being unable to afford to indie publish the way i want to at this point, MORNING STARS is now going to be a serial on AO3!

Morning Stars: Kamarie K’s Space Opera
Harvie Coin makes her living as a part of a hauler crew, transporting and selling valuables across a galaxy ruled by the governing League and a ruthless religious cult known as the Order.
When a run ends badly, she's left injured and in the hands of law enforcement. Forced to make a deal to act as a guide for an eccentric philanthropist in return for her freedom, Harvie begins to uncover dark secrets and mysterious disappearances throughout the Milky Way.
She finds unlikely friendship in Teela, a housekeeper and cult escapee.
Harvie and Teela, used to being nobodies, are mistakenly thrust into the middle of the galaxy's churning politics. As the Order threatens to spread their cult across the galaxy, both women find they must decide what matters most to them, and who they are going to protect.
Content notes: This novel contains references to sexual, emotional and spiritual abuse as well as science fiction typical violence and sexual themes. This is a work of adult fiction.
The novel has been fully edited and written, so you can expect an update every week. This gives me the freedom to write exactly what I want, tell the story that i've wanted to tell for so many years, and share it with all of my amazing friends on here. I have a full time job where i'm trying to career climb, and managing a Patreon is out of my scope right now.
I do have a Ko-Fi if anyone enjoys my writing and would like to throw me a few dollars (money will probably be spent on more commissions for the novel or for buying youth in foster care in my community gifts <3) - link
Thank you to @maia-beans for all of your amazing support and artwork throughout the years, to @winterandwords for your kind feedback during our Wattpad days and for connecting me with the OG writing side of Tumblr where i've met so many lovely people. To my writing bestie, Irene, without a Tumblr, who's been working on MS with me since its inception. To @sunset-a-story and @explosionshark for letting me bounce ideas off of you and hearing all of my rants/offering suggestions. To @leebrontide and @daphnevermeer for sharing your knowledge about indie publishing with a newb like me. To my writing coaches who have been patient with me and given me incredible feedback to tell the story i want to tell.
I can't wait to share Morning Stars with everyone on here, and can't wait to read more of the stories you all have written!
