THE FOUNDING PATRON COMMISSION
A million-dollar commission to turn a lifetime of words into a body of work that outlives its author.
Can we teach people to see through cruelty
without teaching them to become better at it?
Underwrite the creation, completion, and public reach of the work. Receive the entire collection, including all three Apokolypsis volumes, and help bring the next chapter into the world.
Hollow Hope, The Greatest Love Letter of All Time, The Stepping Stones, all three Apokolypsis volumes, and The Moral Matrix.
A companion literary work built around an agreed question that matters to the patron. The author's voice and conclusions remain independent.
A publication and reader-access plan, with book signings, public appearances, poetry readings, and conversations defined in the commission agreement.
Agreed milestones, a budget, and reports of completed work and use of the commission funds.
This is a proposed commission, not an instant purchase of existing books. Before any payment, we agree in writing on the manuscripts, companion work, delivery schedule, publication and reader-copy quantities, book signings, public appearances, readings, reporting, rights, author compensation, expenses, and cancellation terms. No publishing, adaptation, or ownership rights transfer unless expressly agreed.
Patron acknowledgment is optional. Editorial independence stays with the author. The intended 80% community-support / 20% author allocation and any processing fees will be addressed explicitly in the final budget.

Direct help. Personal giving. Sometimes going without so someone else didn’t have to. These figures reflect my personal history of helping others; they are separate from future mission fundraising.
The mission is to create safe domestic crisis centers for vulnerable children and families. To intervene before tragedy, advocate for those who need protection, and work alongside existing child welfare services.
