A Month of Big News!
In this newsletter, you’ll find out about everything I released over the past 30-31 days.
Anything not labeled “Patreon” or “paid” is free and publicly available.
March 5 to April 5, 2025
It’s the 1-year anniversary of the Monthly Roundup!! I started this newsletter as a way of helping readers keep track of all the many different projects I’m posting all over the place all the time, and I’m really happy that it’s helped people find things they might have missed otherwise! Is there anything I can do to help make the newsletter even easier to follow and read? Let me know!
Big Announcements
Into the Smoke is now part of the Creator Bonus Program on Tapas, a platform that hosts webcomics. That means that I now make some money when people read my comics there for free! The Tapas version is censored due to app restrictions, and it runs a few episodes behind the main site. But if you have trouble keeping up with the main site and prefer an app with notifications, Tapas is a great option!
And that leads us into our next bit of news!
Demon of the Underground chapter 4 is now releasing for free in its entirety for the first time! If it does well, I’ll also release chapter 5 for free!
The Tapas version is vertical scroll and censored (sometimes heavily) to a teen rating. You can read ALL pages in the original single-page R-18 format on Patreon. Bonus Tier patrons get new pages as soon as they’re finished.
New free pages are releasing really fast this month on Tapas! We have 2-page updates 3 times per week!
Into the Smoke
Into the Smoke is my new free vertical-scroll webcomic. It updates every other Wednesday. “When gay medium Blaze binds himself to an evil spirit, he hopes solving the ghost’s murder will help bring him peace. But Alastor the Angel Killer has other plans…”

3. March was a Sketch month on Patreon, so I did a new batch of original sketches! Patrons in the Sketch tiers get to request an original, but all patrons get to see them. Most of the Into the Smoke sketches haven’t been specifically requested yet, so new patrons are welcome to pledge to the Sketch+Secret Gallery tier and make a request by end of day April 7 to get one by mail!
Sketches include some spicy Blaze/Alastor, some sweet Blaze/Judd, some about-to-be-spicy Blaze/Haunted-Statue (yep, that scene from The Clybourn House), some young Blaze and Judd, OTTO IN A FRONTPACK, and more!
- Patreon Sketches 1-6 (All Patrons)(Patreon)
- Patreon Sketches 7-12 (All Patrons)(Patreon)
4. Secret Gallery patrons got an excerpt from the new Into the Smoke prose side story I’m working on! It’s a scene of teen Blaze meeting his favorite ghost, Uncle Arvind. (Patreon)
5. Secret Gallery patrons also got to vote on the sexiest Clybourn House ghost! Sorry, I love this poll. (Patreon)
(And of course, Secret Gallery patrons also get to read The Clybourn House, the spicy ITS prose prequel, which is complete.)
6. Into the Smoke’s patron credits sheet was updated with 20 new names! Look how many more people are petting Otto now!!
The next update happens at chapter 2, episode 11! Patrons can add their name (and pet Otto) here! (Patreon)
7. I hope y’all enjoyed voting for Into the Smoke and getting a shirtless Judd sketch last month! This month we get the aforementioned spicy Blaze/Alastor sketch from the Patreon batch!
