Whether you’re here for the cinematic journeys on YouTube, the deep dives at HaveStories, or my novels, you’re part of a community that values authentic storytelling.
As independent creators, we don’t have, nor do we want, corporate sponsors or big publishing houses behind us. Why? Because we have you. Your support is what keeps our cameras rolling, the research moving for these blogs and my novels, and the “Open Road” open ahead of us.
☕ Fuel the Creative Engine: Buy Me a Coffee

Our Open Road Tales Buy Me A Coffee page is the central hub for supporting everything we do. Whether you enjoyed a video, a blog post, or a chapter of my latest book, tossing a “coffee” our way is the most direct way to keep us going.
- One Hub, All Stories: Your support fuels the YouTube channel and the HaveStories blog.
- No Commitment: A one-time “digital high-five” to say, “I dig what you’re doing!”
- Direct Impact: It covers everything from camera gear and gas for the road to the research and editing for my next historical novel.
👉 Support Open Road Tales & HaveStories on Buy Me A Coffee.
📢 The “Zero-Cost” Support Squad
We know that financial support isn’t always an option, but in the world of independent content, your attention is just as valuable as your coins. You can help us grow for free:
- Engagement: A like, a thoughtful comment, or a “share” helps bypass the algorithms that often hide indie creators like me and my wife.
- Follow the Blog: Hit the follow button right here at HaveStories.com so you never miss a post.
- Subscribe: Join the adventure over at the Open Road Tales YouTube channel.
- Review: When you’ve read my Pompeii novel, a short Amazon review is the ultimate favor for an indie author.
Why Support Matters
Every virtual coffee through the Buy Me A Coffee and every comment helps us break through the “Invisible Wall” faced by independent creators and authors. It allows us to stay curious, stay road-bound, and keep sharing the stories that usually go untold.
Thanks for being part of the adventure! Let’s see where the road takes us next.
