Got a message that totally made my day
My latest book, Arvia: Fangs of the Frost is about a sailing adventure to the Antarctic (on my world of Arvia). My friend AJ who’s a fan of the series is on a voyage to the Antarctic, and brought my book! She took photos of it in the Antarctic.
I’m blown away

It’s cold outside!
But it’s warm… umm… OK, it’s pretty damn cold aboard their ship too. No fancy electric space heaters, baby.
Why not warm up by the fire with a good adventure?

Not everyone on Tales of Arvia is giant! Meet Craxi. I love subverting expectations: on Arvia, most goblins are quite friendly, and a goblin-run beach bar is a recurring setting.

Sometimes I have to be a bit of a brat. Found a post on r/fantasyromance where people were posting images with the height difference of various fantasy couples. And they were ALL hulking MMCs and petite FMCs.
I had to bring in a little "equality" 😅
