Just because they're undead doesn't mean they have to be neglected.

Read Chronicles of Gam Gam now!

Large horizontal banner with grayscale shading over the background which features white branches reaching out form the top and bottom and balls of red yarn at the edges. Four images are situated 2x2 on the right hand side, featuring the covers for A Necromancer Called Gam Gam, The Wishing Stone, The Knight Revenant, and Nugget's Tenth Life, all by Adam Holcombe. At the top of the banner to the left is the title "Chronicles of Gam Gam" with a skeletal cat walking across the letters. Two award badges sit to either side for SFINCS Semi-Finalist and Indie Ink Award Finalist. Beneath the title are six quotes promoting the Chronicles of Gam Gam:

"...in the vein of T. Kingfisher or T.J. Klune…"
"I now have a favorite necromancer."
"I can't wait to see what comes next..."
"Short, sweet, and, oh, so satisfying."
"Best I've read in a long time!!"

In just one week, Bounty Inc. will be released to the world, and you can preorder it right now so you have it in time!

Do you like the found family/ensemble of Guardians of the Galaxy? The universe of Mass Effect? The absurd humor of One Piece? This is soup of all that and more!

Watch this space.

In the coming months a few things will be happening, including the release of my second Twisted Retelling: Death Like Sleep at the beginning of 2026.

Something exciting is coming for ReBirth.

Carissa Broadbent has traveled from indie darling to romantasy superstar. With nine books across multiple series, you may be wondering where to start (and which books are right for you). Here's our comprehensive reading guide:

Today's song hits differently, I think. Sometimes you want something thought-provoking or gross. Sometimes, though, something unrelentingly bleak is fun. This is the latter. Please enjoy, if you can...Run Runaway.

Ooo! I love reading the first one to my daughter, I'll need to get this one as soon as I can!

I referred to the kitchen as *my* room and Sarah tried to argue, but I told her that I do most of the cooking, and I organize everything. She just comes in and destroys it.

She refuted, but less than 12 hours later, I've found an air fryer basket in the lids drawer and her arguments crumbled away.

Caught a candy wrapper as it whipped around the car due to winds from the open windows and I can't even brag to my wife about it because it was a secret candy bar...

Oh shoot. I completely forgot to submit. Any chance I can add a late submission 😅

Adam Holcombe @adamholcombe.bountyink.com · 6d

I can only assume he guessed we'd just stop playing without him. Which is probably the most likely case tbf. I'm the only other one with DM experience and not sure the others are interested in doing it. Though that wasn't even brought up prior, so we never got to discuss it...
