Free stories

Sheila's short story collection grows with approximately one new story every two months, enriching the Aussie Guards world with stories about secondary characters. An Aussie Proposal is an eleven minute read about a mine boss in a mining town struggling to win back Anne, Sam's elder sister.  That one is free to all members, but the rest of the stories are only available to paid members.

Patreon comments

While paid members can comment on stories on the Patreon site, it is better to make more general comments or questions in the discord where they can be placed in channels, sorting them for future members to read.

Discord community

The Sheila Strine discord is where Sheila communicates with her patrons in safety and privacy.  This allows all messages to be found in one place and organised by topic.

Enjoy the full experience of discussing the behind-the-scenes issues, finding out about what nobody else knows is coming up in the Aussie Guards series, or engaging in thoughtful writing discussions.
