This Is Not a Subscription. It's a Deed.
Most places make you pay every month to feel like you belong. Whiskey Pines isn't most places. One payment. Lifetime residency. Your name in the community rolls. A growing library of Resident-exclusive stories and bonus tales, delivered the moment they exist. Your seat at the table for every contest, game, online goody, and piece of Whiskey Pines ephemera dreamed up, which, given the state of things around here, is not going to stop anytime soon.
Residents are mentioned in the books and in the Whiskey Pines Journal. You will exist, at least fictionally, in a town on Lake Michigan with excellent coffee and a suspicious number of unsolved crimes. There are people who would pay considerably more for that.
Eventually, Residents will also have first access to virtual real estate in Whiskey Pines. That's coming. It's going to be something.
What Comes With Your Keys
The Resident Library
Exclusive Resident stories, bonus tales, and the free Whiskey Pines novella, yours to keep for life. Some novels go to Amazon first. Others skip Amazon entirely and come straight here. Either way, the Resident library holds what Amazon will never carry.
You're In the Books
Your name appears in the Whiskey Pines Journal and in the books themselves. You'll be, at minimum, a background character in a town with excellent gossip and a recurring body count.
Online Goodies & Games
Bonus scenes, contests for free books, downloadable surprises, crosswords, crafting patterns, recipes from Becky Hartwell's Crumb Cottage Bakery, and whatever else gets hidden in here.
Virtual Real Estate
Coming Soon
Residents get first access when Whiskey Pines virtual property goes live. Own a cottage, a storefront, or a corner of town. First come, first served.
Early Access & Inside Information
New chapters before they go public. Cover reveals before anyone else. The occasional piece of information that could get someone into genuine trouble. Residents know things.
One Payment. No Renewals.
$39. Once. That's it. No monthly bill, no annual reminder, no expiration. Your residency is permanent. Whiskey Pines doesn't evict people. Usually.
Behind the Doors
The Tool Closet is the residents-only corner of Whiskey Pines.
Each door opens onto a different room, a different game, a different piece of the world: a jukebox and a jigsaw, hidden-object case files and crosswords, Kenzie's crystal ball and her weather window, the Pines-opoly board, the members' library, and a suggestion box that goes straight to Roxie. More doors are added over time. Residents see them first.
