Welcome to Muse Radio.
I’m Ryan. I am your host and Humble Narrator.
I call it Muse Radio because for me writing is like listening to a radio station only I can hear. And my muse is the DJ.
Writing, then, seems almost like transcription.
Think of this as my own quaint little Book Shoppe.
Where I also sell pizza. And Caesar Salad. And coffee and warm cookies.
I don’t, actually, but I wish I could.
I offer generous free samples of my work so you can try before you buy. And then if you want to continue reading, subscribe to have access to all the books featured here.
Which are:
The Pillow Book (Coming soon. But you can read excerpted stories The Leap & Corvette Jesus now.)
Among the Blossoms (Coming soon)
And there are more to come. Including the thing I’ve been working on for the past year-and-a-half.: ANC.
But I want to get Ye Olde Book Shoppe up and running first.
Why subscribe?
You should subscribe if you want access to all my books. It’s like a BOGO. (Buy One Get One Free.) Except it’s more like BOSO? Buy One Get Seven Free? I’m not sure how many books I’ll make available exactly, lol, but it’s a better deal than buying them one at a time on Amazon.
Plus, my new project(s) is(are) going to be available exclusively here at Muse Radio.
And maybe, just maybe, I’ll read something for you.
Here’s a rundown of my subscriber tiers:
Free: Preview first five chapters of each novel & join the conversation.
Monthly: $5/month
Access to ALL books/stories plus exclusive access to all new books before they’re available on Amazon. (Or maybe they'll only be available here…) Plus a behind-the-scenes look at the creation process. Plus exclusive access to, er, other stuff. You won't believe the nonsense we have planned. You're gonna laugh. I do. It’s coming soon so please pardon our dust.
Annually: $40 ($3.33/month)
Same as monthly but you save a couple of bucks. Please spend them on yourself. Go eat pizza. And send me a selfie of who you believe has the best pizza in your area. My dream is to do a Worldwide Global Pizza and Rollercoasters Tour. I'm not scared of rollercoasters. They do make me throw up sometimes. But I still love them. Maybe if enough people subscribe, we can make it happen. I HATE getting motion sick. But I'll do it for you guys.
Founding Member: $41 (Just $1 more! Yay!)
All of the above plus I come over and wash your car dressed as Elvis.*
(*Not really. This is a joke. To be clear: I am NOT doing this. It's clearly a joke. Joining at this tier means you understand the car wash thing is a joke and that I probably never should've mentioned it. This is a disclaimer. If we learned anything from Pepsi, Where's My Jet?, it's that a disclaimer never hurts. But lack of one does.)
If you would like to read my books in their entirety rather than in serialized format (one chapter per week), for just $1 more ($40/yr vs. $41/yr) become a VIP Founding Member and enjoy the Founding Members’ Room and read at your own pace.
Also, all of my Notes and regular Posts are completely free and available to everyone.
Only my actual novels are for sale. I am not.
But I do believe it’s proper and fair for writers to be compensated for their work. Other professions don’t work for free; why should we?
Thank you for reading this far. Go get a cookie, put it in the microwave for about 15 seconds, and then come back and eat it. And we’ll pretend I gave it to you. It’ll be an actual cookie. Not a little chunk of code we’re constantly being pestered to accept. I kind of enjoy clicking one of the other buttons and then clicking Reject All. It feels like victory.
Again, welcome to Muse Radio. It’s a pleasure to have you here.
