A GoFundMe for Adrean
Putting Adrean Bentlage’s medical GoFundMe on my sites for a while. Neighbour ask, not a product pitch.
The commission shop is open
Books on any topic. Websites priced to undercut theater. One silent client already on the path with me.
Life is good
Clean time, a solid floor, work I can ship. The till is still one Velvet Arrangement, bought by me, paid through Stripe.
One sale
One copy of The Velvet Arrangement. I bought it. Stripe paid me $4.55.
The shop on phyllux.io
Archive chrome ate the homepage. The Tech shop is back up.
Why I am writing here
A public notebook on phyllux.com. Books, software, and the work on the table.
A packet on Paul's desk
Eight companion novellas, one Foundation each. A planning PDF. Not a lock.
Parchment, not hype
One cover layout. Eight Foundation colours. A card that also keeps your place.
How I actually make books
Local draft. Human direction. Heavy curation. Markdown until the keeper is right.
What I will not claim
Maslow, the stages of change, and CBT belong to other people. Arrangement is not proof.
Card Night is a table
Bring the book. Bring the card. Two questions. No extra product required.
Suite first
One Quanton Suite to try. Not a hallway of 175 singles pretending to be a store.
Keeper means it ships
Workshop pages are not the shelf. The shelf is the shelf.
Novelmate on the public hub
The local pipeline got a public door on this site. Social art went with it.
Music is a lane
Same week the Novelmate hub went public. Music sat in the main nav. Writing and recording. No fake discography.
Workshop covers and a hold
Eight keeper covers went live. Amazon upload did not.
Velvet goes in
The Velvet Arrangement went to Kindle Direct Publishing under my own name.
Canada Day, a shelf not a crowd
1 July 2026. I ran titles through Novelmate so the house would have a shelf. Nobody bought a parade.
Putting it down
Early June. I stopped. I am counting in days now.
One house for the work
I finally put the studio, the books, and the programs under one roof on this machine.
The models showed up
Winter 2022 into 2023. Public models. I used them to turn work around. Not a royalty story.
