Today is the day!
The long-awaited Mennik Thorn prequel novella, The Dead Man, is out now. I promised this to readers quite a long time ago. It works well either as an introduction to the series or for those who've read the other books, so no excuses! Go get it. :)

Looks like a gorgeous project from a human I think is just the tops. Please give this a moment of your time & consideration, even if just to look at the cool artwork. The sample I read is just superb, a unique, intriguing, funny & dare I say zesty, world.
Pledges have slowed now, but I'd really love to hit the next stretch goal of more art!
