☕ SUPPORT HIDDEN INK PRESS
I'm Pat Allen, and I'm on a mission to bring the Culper Spy Ring to life.
You know Nathan Hale, the patriot spy who was caught and executed by the British in 1776.
But almost no one knows about the spy network that succeeded where Hale failed: the Culper Ring.
For five years, they operated behind British lines in occupied New York, gathering intelligence that helped win the Revolutionary War. Their identities stayed secret for 150 years.
I'm telling their stories—meticulously researched, character-driven narratives that honor both historical accuracy and compelling storytelling.
WHAT I'M WORKING ON:
→ Five prequel stories exploring the origins of key Culper Ring members (launching January 2026)
→ A comprehensive history of the ring's operations (2027-2028)
→ Bringing forgotten American heroes to light
WHAT YOUR SUPPORT ENABLES:
Every coffee helps me:
- Access archives and primary sources
- Pay editors fairly for their expertise
- Commission period-accurate illustrations
- Spend more time researching and writing
- Produce higher-quality stories
The stories will always be free to read. But if you believe in preserving and sharing this history, your support means everything.
FIRST STORY DROPS JANUARY 2026.
Join the journey. Buy me a coffee. Help bring the Culper Ring to light.
