Why I’m Taking My Romance Stories to Patreon

Over the past 14 years, I’ve published romance stories across a wide range of tropes, twists, and emotional depths. Some of you have been with me since the very beginning—and if that’s you, I can’t thank you enough.

But the publishing landscape has changed—and so have I.

I want to write what’s meaningful. I want to write what’s fun. And most of all, I want to write stories with my readers, not just for them.

That’s why I’ve launched:

🔗 The Z.L. Arkadie Romance Experience on Patreon

It’s where my new romance stories will live—exclusively—including:

  • Brand-new serials (weekly chapter drops!)
  • Interactive polls where you can help shape the story
  • Full access to rare and backlist books
  • Behind-the-scenes peeks and posts

To kick things off, I’ve already started our first exclusive story:

📖 The King of Dark Secrets

 

A dark, twisty romance about legacy, lies, and the dangerous men who guard both.

You can read the free introduction post right now, and if you like what you see, choose a tier that fits your level of support.

If you’re a long-time fan or just curious, this is the place to be. And I’ll be updating you regularly with new content, polls, and more.

Let’s build something beautiful—together.
