ABOUT THIS SITE
Once upon a time, in the early days of 2020, a new story began. I created resiliencepirate-nz3d5hlupe.live-website.com/ as my pandemic panic room – a place on The Resilience I could retreat to when the world outside felt too dark and dreary to deal with.
I began sharing snippets, pictures, and first drafts of my stories here, and before long people started noticing this weird woman with the semi-sentient pirate ship. The Resilience wasn’t just a quirky author platform – she was my portal to a metafictional universe, the flagship of what I hoped might become a small publishing empire.
It was a dream so silly and self-indulgent I’d never told anyone about it. I knew I could write decent non-fiction and edit well, but good storytellers are rare creatures. I had no idea whether I could write fiction anyone would want to read, let alone pay for.
Fast-forward to 2025, and that secret hideout has grown into something remarkable. The Resilience now sails with a proper crew of indie authors, collaborators, and a community of readers who’ve become genuine friends. We’ve published books, built games, developed apps, and created a literary universe that spans multiple pen names and genres.
Our crew writes everything from sweet romance to Norse mythology, from cosy fantasy to deliciously spicy erotica. Some of us use AI in our creative and business workflows, others prefer not to. We don’t discriminate based on what, how, or with whom people write – we celebrate great storytelling in all its forms.
In January 2025, we moved our regular publishing from this blog to Substack, spreading across multiple publications to better serve our different audiences and genres. Now resiliencepirate-nz3d5hlupe.live-website.com/ functions as the "You Are Here" Tourist Information board in our home port of Libertalia. It helps readers, writers, and potential crew members find us, understand what we're all about, and discover how to join our adventures.
But The Resilience isn’t just a ship where writers and readers meet; our digital shipwrites are building shops, games, apps, and experiences that bring our stories to life in ways we never imagined possible back in 2020. Check out the Maps if you want to explore all we have to offer, and don’t worry if you’re fuzzy on the details – we’ll make it all make sense along the way. Because that’s what good storytellers do.
Welcome aboard, Messmate!

Captain of the Resilience
