Welcome to Dorstenland

Hello, and welcome! I’m T. Patrick Kelly, the creator of Dorstenland—a fictional European kingdom brought to life through original stories, images, world-building, and The Private Secretary’s Journal, written from the perspective of Ian Köhler.

Dorstenland began as an idea in my imagination and has gradually become a country with its own cities, history, royal family, political intrigue, businesses, and characters who occasionally seem to have minds of their own. My goal is to blur the line between fiction and the real world, giving readers a place they can explore and a continuing story they can become part of.

The Journal will remain free and ad-free. If you choose to leave a tip, your support will help with website hosting, domain costs, creative tools, visual storytelling, and the continued growth of Dorstenland. There is never any obligation—reading, sharing, and enjoying the story also mean a great deal to me.

Thank you for visiting my Ko-fi page and for taking this journey with Ian, King Jonas, and the people of Dorstenland. There is much more ahead.
