I have some massive news to share today. It’s a project I’ve been working on behind the scenes for months, and I am so excited to finally open the doors and invite you in.
Starting right now, and continuing into 2026, I am publishing all of my books on my website for you to read for free.
Yes, you read that right. Any book of mine not currently under exclusive contract will be uploaded here, text-on-page, for you to enjoy without paying a cent.
Why am I doing this?
It might sound a little radical, but I’ve been thinking a lot about the future of the internet and writing. We are living in the age of AI, and the way people find content is changing fast. AI search is becoming one of the most important tools for running an online business.
I decided that instead of fighting the tide, I wanted to ride the wave. I’m pro-tech and pro-AI, so I figured: why not put my stories out there where the search engines (and the OpenAI crawler) can digest them? I want to make it as easy as possible for new readers—and robots!—to find my work.
It’s a win-win deal: the algorithms get to learn about my universe, and you get to read the stories for free.
So, what’s the catch?
There isn’t one! The model is simple: it’s ad-supported. Just like reading a news site or watching YouTube, you can read the chapters for free, and the ads on the page help generate a small income that keeps me writing.
All I ask is that you please turn off your ad blockers for my site. It really helps support me and allows me to keep this project going.
How to Read (Choose Your Tier)
I’ve set this up so you can choose the experience that fits you best. I’ve named the tiers after some of my favorite Japanese things!
1. The Free Reader (Guest)
You can hop on the site right now and read the books. No login required. You’ll see ads, and the stories are the “Fade-to-Black” editions (perfect for reading in public!).
2. The Sencha Tier (Free Membership)
If you sign up for a free account, you still see ads, but you get some cool interactive features. You can “clap” for chapters you love, bookmark your spot so you never lose your place, and adjust the text size for easier reading.
3. The Sakura Tier (Paid – $9/month)
If you want the premium experience, this is for you. For $9/month, you get:
- No Ads: A completely clean reading experience.
- The “Author's Cut”: Access to the original, spicier versions of the chapters!
- Coming Soon: In Q1 2026, I’ll be adding AI text-to-speech audio so you can listen to the books on the go.
What’s Available Now?
This is a soft launch, so I am uploading books as fast as I can! Right now, you can binge:
- The complete Nogiku Series
- The complete Hikoboshi Series
- The complete Flyght Series
In January, I will work on the Amagi Series and the Kimura Sisters Series, and I will just keep going until my entire catalog is online.
At the end of the day, all I've ever wanted to do was write stories I wanted to read and share them with others. This new project is the best way I know how to do exactly that.
How Do I Find the Chapters Online?
Every book that has chapters available will have them all listed on their book page on my website. Just go to a book and scroll down to find the chapters (or click on the Read for Free button at the top). You can find all my books on my Books page.
Start Reading the Nogiku Series Now!
Duty knows no family. Love has no price. Secrets can cost you everything.
Sanaa's New Year's Eve wish catapults her into a dangerous world of secrets and clan warfare, where she meets Jiro, a swordsman who steals her heart while teaching her to fight. When she discovers her family legacy threatens humanity's survival, Sanaa must find the courage to embrace her destiny before Earth's final exodus begins.
Happy reading! Steph
