Briar Ledger is a serialized fiction subscription mailed as a publisher-direct periodical — formatted specifically to clear prison mailroom rules that reject personal letters.
Choose annual ($99) or monthly ($14.99). You're the subscriber — your loved one is the reader.
Every two weeks, a new chapter ships — formatted with a masthead, volume number, and publisher return address. Exactly like a magazine.
Because it's treated as legitimate published mail — not personal correspondence — it clears the rules that stop everything else.
Art theft. A dead director. A letter addressed to someone who shouldn't have received it. A 24-chapter mystery that unfolds two chapters at a time — clean, addictive, and engineered to arrive.
