Oh, come off it... This is your 'expert marketing team' that you just can't stop emailing about? Well, I can't stop laughing.

🎨 New Art Reveal! 🎨

This piece features Tal battling a centaur-ish creature called an ijiraq. I love how she turned out!

At least 3 more artworks still to come for An Emperor's Gamble - stay tuned for the reveals.

(Content sigh.) What a lovely weekend.
Chatted with a writing buddy.
Finished a short story.
Did a podcast interview (coming soon).
Got my newsletter out.
Read. Hit the gym. Went on a walk. Caught up with family.

Such a great character origin short story, @tbcart.bsky.social
I was hooked from pg 1: “Did he want to be a healer? Well, he didn’t not want to be a healer.”

Mark your calendars for September 16th for the 3rd Legend of Tal special edition!

We originally had it launching yesterday, but to make sure all the books arrived first, we pushed it back a couple weeks.

Not long now, though, until An Emperor's Gamble Deluxe is here!

A Drop of Corruption deserves the highest praise. I adored The Tainted Cup, and, to my mind, this is even better! Oh how I’ve missed Din and Ana. The mystery is to die for. And the world building steps more into the limelight. I’m 80% through, and can’t wait to see how it ends!
