Join the Expedition
The Shay Lark Adventure Series is powered by readers. Your support funds the research, writing, editing, and artwork that bring these adventures to life — and gets you behind the scenes while it happens.
You’re not just supporting the adventure… you’re helping unearth it.
Writing a series rooted in real Mesoamerican history takes more than imagination — it takes research deep-dives, historical sources, concept art, editing, and countless hours of world-building. Patreon members make that work possible, and in return get a front-row seat to how each adventure comes together, from the first spark of an idea to the final published story.
If the Explorer begins the journey and the Cartographer charts the course, the Archaeologist uncovers what has been hidden for centuries. Wherever you join, you’re part of the expedition.
