Project Title: Thaddeus Howze is creating Speculative Fiction, Media Analysis & Social Justice Journalism
Creator Name: Thaddeus Howze / @ebonstorm

Category: Fiction
Summary: Bits from his Patreon page: My name is Thaddeus Howze and welcome to my story. Once upon a time, I was a technology executive. Life was good. I had a great job with an amazing team of technologists who worked with me and there was no better life to be had. Then the Great Reset a.k.a. The Great Recession happened. Just like that, I became marginally employed and within six months as companies folded all over the country, my long-term period of employment drew to a close. (He details more of the challenges that followed in detail, including the challenges and benefits for his special-needs son.)

I have come to the conclusion I am an artist in need of patronage. Seems like a no-brainer, right? Except I have never been keen on the idea of being an artist. I fancied myself a scientist who used creativity to augment my work. It was only once I started writing full time, I realized just how much creativity I never tapped into.

I learned Patreon made it easier for me to write. The humble offerings I take home monthly allowed me to skip part or all of a week of my (uber) driving schedule. It gave me five days of focused attention and often my best work comes at the beginning of the month during the five day window after Patreon pays out.

What do you get out of it? Besides a warm feeling? (Don't discount warm feelings, they are amazing if you experience them regularly...)

You will gain access to a wide array of my writing, some of it, never seen anywhere but on Patreon. While the bulk of my book writing goals are speculative fiction in nature, I am hoping to write works based on my library of writing I have done online.
