11. Flyntt knew Rhea was different than his initial feelings when she learned her motivtation for becoming the town manager. She wanted to correct a mistake she made back home. He respected that and was surprised at how open she was.

10. Flyntt subscribes to Found Family more because he doesn't really have blood relatives as both of his parents are dead. His aunt adopted him when he was young. He regards his friends as family.

7. Outside of Pinegaard is Wolfstar forest where you hear howling at different times. The grass is long and lush while trees are thick with climbable branches. There are rocks formed in the shape of wolves. Rumor has it, the forest is home to the Moon Hound.

6. You'll love my book because there are a lot of fun, quirky characters, and the animals don't die, they're saved. Also the antagonists are cranky old community members. I'm drawing a lot of reporter experience and hours covering city council meetings for this.

4. The story is driven with platonic relationships but there is a developing romance. Flyntt's romance with Rhea is kind of like Leslie and Ben's relationship.
5. If Flyntt is poisoned, he'll run to his aunt Cagknee, who runs a local bakery near his work.

2. Flyntt wears green and brown leathers. They've got an earthy, foresty tone since he's a druid and uses nature magic. He carries daggers on his belt and other tools but no weapons.
3. He begins this journey prepared and ready to save all the animals he can.

I'm going to speedrun this a little.
1. Hello, I'm Al. I write cozy fantasy and cozy D&D and TTRPG stuff. I'm working on a novel about a druid and his paladin friend who run a local animal rescue, Pinegaard Animal Warden Service (PAWS).
I'd like to get the book done this year.

Creatives! Show me your favorite thing you made in 2025. It could be a sketch, a painting, a book, a sculpture - something YOU made that you're proud of, big or small.
I created A LOT of Forgotten Realms stuff books after I "left Exandria" Several subclasses, Shadowdale 1 shots & Waterdeep books.

I'll eventually make a character based on her, either an NPC or a fictional story, but for now, The Huntress will have to settle for a DMs Guild bundle cover.

I wanted to do this again, but with a different OC - one I might be moving forward with for paranormal cozy mysteries or horror. I can't decide.

My latest WIP was the first short story in what I hope is many about my punchy girl Ash. An elven prize fighter who also finds missing people and runs into trouble. She's fought for 200 years (so far) and has made friends all over the world. She's won titles and made enemies.

The best picture of Ripley I got. If I ever teach a photojournalism class I'd have students photo the following:
- pet portraits to get them comfortable with photographing moving subjects and complete an objective.
- drag shows to help them get over any nerves of photographing people doing stuff.
