OUR HOUSE, AT THE BEGINNING

A Small Beginning.
A House Full of Possibilities.

We’re Shawn and Bria, the authors and creators behind Chautauqua Ink House in Chautauqua, New York.

We’re truly just getting started. Our library is small, and we’re slowly writing, illustrating, and designing the stories we want to share. We’re learning as we go, trying new things, and doing our best to make each project better than the last.

From novels and comics to illustrated children’s adventures, our goal is to create stories that people enjoy and remember. That takes time, especially while we’re finding our feet and building this house together.

We don’t have a huge collection or a busy release schedule yet. What we have is a love of creating and a willingness to keep learning and putting in the work.

Thank you for being here at the beginning. We hope you’ll enjoy watching our little house grow.

Before you settle in

Does membership include the full books?

Books are sold separately. The Society is a way to follow our work and, if you choose, support it. You can read our selected previews here without a membership.

How often will you share something new?

When we have something ready to share. Expect occasional updates and glimpses of our work, rather than a fixed monthly release schedule.

Where will I sign in or manage my support?

Our member area is hosted on Payhip. Join for free and sign in there. Supporters can manage their recurring subscription there too. Saved previews and reading progress on this website stay in this browser.

What happens as the library grows?

We may introduce more options later. Your free membership will not turn into a paid subscription without your choice.
