Including my short story “The Order of the Wyrm”, which asks the important question, “what if Tom Hiddleston and Patrick Stewart were magical girls and had to fight a dragon in Buckingham Palace?” 😂

Wow. Just devoured this in all its stunning ferocity of wit. Glorious tone, the kind of book where you can greedily appreciate the prose even as you are swept along in the increasing wild plot. Bravo @tobyschmitz.bsky.social !!!#TheEmpressMurders

I’m now on Patreon!

I had some bad news this week, which means my publishing plans have had to change - I’m going it alone!

I’ll still be editing Indie Bites, don’t worry, but for my own cozy fantasy novels, novellas, and collections, I’ll be publishing as Witch Hart Books.

I hope you’ll enjoy “The Wreck of Our Lady”, a story that I think truly has it all — pirates, prophecies, religious schisms, demonic possession, and above it all swashbuckling action on the high seas!

Answering some questions: the series covers the first novella "All Systems Red," I'm a consulting producer, and we've been working on it since 2021. (So it seems fast from the timing of the announcements but it has actually taken a million years in me-time.)
