Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!

Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot.

Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!
A cover illustrated by James Fenner. A woman with long red hair and padded clothing sits on the ground, petting the head of a smiling serpentine dragon. But the dragon has more than one head! On the left, a second giant dragon head emerges, frowning, looking at her while wearing a monocle. On the right, a third giant dragon head emerges, jaws wide, screaming in anger. The text is teal, contrasting sharply against the red and maroon of the creatures. The text on the cover reads "THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS. JOHN WISWELL, author of the Nebula and Locus Award-winning SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN."

DOT SLASH MAGIC is a fun fantasy book in the vein of Grossman's The Magicians w/ a shot of Mickey Mouse in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice & a chaser of Neo in The Matrix.

If you’re the kind of sex-positive horror reader who, like me, sees a title like SPREAD ME and automatically thinks of double-entendres, you’re Sarah Gailey’s target audience.

After a week and a half on Hospice, my father went to be with the Lord this morning. He introduced me to Asimov, Heinlein, Tolkien, Herbert & so many more.
If you pray, say one as my mom adjusts to life without him. They'd been married over 55 years.
Love you Dad. 💔

“The awe & the fear of the MC introduced exciting elements & while the darker aspects of the story took up more & more space the closer we got to the end, the book never lost its whimsical magic that made me fall in love with the world in the first place.”

I had a good time with it...partly because it reminded me of SyFy shows from the mid-2000's, like Warehouse 13, but with a more style. My review:
