The Ouroboros Society
You've read the Chronicles. Now come find out what's underneath them.
What it is
A small room, and the two people who wrote the books in it.
The Ouroboros Society began as a way to read The Goodpasture Chronicles alongside the readers who love them — and then take the whole thing apart together.
We ran it three times, a season a book. Each one worked the same way: five or six chapters a week, read on your own, then everybody on Zoom to argue about what had just happened — while the ending was still a secret to the rest of the world.
Then we finished the trilogy. And nobody wanted to leave.
So the Society kept going. We meet once a month now — same room, same people, same conversation. We are simply not racing a release date any more.
It is deliberately small. That is the entire point — a room where you can ask us why a character did what she did and get a real answer, not a press answer.
What members get
Everything we don't say in public.
- Us, live, every monthRhonda and Jason on Zoom, once a month. Not a webinar — a conversation, with your face in it.
- The room between meetingsA private group where the theories keep going all week, and where we turn up when we have something to say.
- Underneath the storyWhy a scene is built the way it is. What the symbol was doing. Which thread was planted three books earlier.
- Ask us anythingOpen Q&A every session. Craft, the marriage, the business, how a chapter actually gets written.
- First to knowWhat we're making next reaches this room before it reaches the newsletter.
- A hand in itMembers have shaped how these books reached readers. That is not flattery — it is what happened.
How it works now
Once a month, and everything in between.
- We meet on ZoomOne evening a month. Themes, hidden meanings, character choices, and the behind-the-scenes of actually writing the thing — then open Q&A, where nothing is off limits.
- The group keeps talkingBetween meetings the private group runs on its own. Some of the best theories have arrived at two in the morning.
- And then whatever is nextThe trilogy is finished. The world is not. What we are making next reaches this room before it reaches anyone else.
Miss a month and nothing bad happens. Come to one and you'll clear the evening for the next.
How to join
Two steps, and one condition.
Tell us where to reach you.
This is the application. It is how we come back to you either way — and how we send you the link each month once you are in.
We send a handful of emails a year and you can leave in one click. See our Privacy Policy.
Show us you have read them.
Membership is for readers who have all three books — Caretaker, Servant and Architect. The form above asks where you got them. If they came from our own store we can confirm it ourselves; anywhere else an order number is plenty — and if you cannot find one, a photo of the three books on your shelf does the job.
Lloyd reads every application himself. Expect to hear back within a few days.
Why all three? Because the room spoils everything. The conversation assumes you know how it ends, from the first minute you walk in. Sitting in it before you have finished would rob you of the books — and we would rather you had the books.
