Games have always been more than entertainment to me. Iโ€™m interested in what they can do for our minds: curiosity, problem-solving, persistence, connection and joy, especially when the physical world becomes harder to access.

A sample of my sponsored gaming content. I get into the game, share my experience and let the gameplay speak for itself.ย 

For: Game studios, publishers, brands + creator partners

  • Iโ€™m open to sponsored content, paid game coverage, review/creator keys, affiliate partnerships, product features, and other creator campaigns that fit my audience and interests.
  • My strongest gaming fit: RPGs, Soulslikes, MMOs, ARPGs, dark fantasy, gothic and vampire-themed games, plus adjacent action, fantasy, and story-driven titles. My audience is especially familiar with games in the orbit of WoW, FFXIV, FromSoftware, Path of Exile, V Rising, Dawnwalker, and similar genres.
  • Also open to: relevant non-gaming partnerships, especially around wellness, self-care, accessibility, comfort, health-conscious living, longevity, home-office/gaming setups, ergonomic products, and products that make everyday life easier or more enjoyable for people with chronic illness.

WHY SUPPORT MATTERS

Emberosis is an independent project with real upkeep behind it: the shop, product selection, design work, blog, newsletter and future releases all take time, care, and monthly costs to sustain. Every purchase, membership and share helps keep the work available and gives it room to grow.

The Manifesto

Before matches, before lighters, people kept embers. At night, they could not simply let it burn. A fire left open would spend itself too quickly. It might blaze for a while, then leave nothing useful by morning. So they changed how the fire was kept. They lowered the flame. They gathered the embers, covered them in ash, and kept enough heat alive for morning. This was called banking a fire. It did not end the night. It did not remove the cold. It did not make the fire larger than it was. It kept the fire from becoming ash. That is the banked fire at the center of Emberosis... (Continue reading)

Between Battles

I write at BetweenBattles.com about life with multiple chronic illnesses, chronic pain, fatigue, body limits, rest, self-care, games, dreams, and the hard-earned lessons that come from living in a body that keeps changing the rules. I also send Embers Between Battles, a free monthly newsletter for people whose bodies or nervous systems have been on high alert too long.

When you join, you get 30 free grounding cards right away: simple phone-sized cards for nervous system regulation in a sit-at-a-bonfire vibe.

If you've enjoyed any of my work or online presence, supporting here keeps it going.
