Oh, hi there! It's cover reveal day for Brigands & Breadknives, with art yet again by the amazing @emberwickart.bsky.social-
I love it so ❤️
Coming Nov 11 '25 from @torbooks.bsky.social-

Cover for Brigands & Breadknives, depicting a campfire scene with an elven adventurer, a rattkin writing letters in the back of a wagon, surprised by a goblin in a patchwork coat brandishing a breadknife, with a demon chicken on their head. Okay, so it's hard to describe.

New North American hardcover edition of @travisbaldree.bsky.social's BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST out tomorrow!

zenoagency.com/news/new-boo...

Published by @torbooks.bsky.social.

New hardback cover for Travis Baldree's BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST - a female orc leans against the counter in a bookshop, holding a pastry in one hand and an open book in the other. An owl-dog looks hungrily at the pastry, while a large mouse (wearing a cape) takes some notes with a quill pen. Also title/author information.

They've changed things around and are going hardback first this time out, then paperback after!

One of the things I find hardest about writing is the knowledge that whatever scene I choose, however I attempt to accomplish something, there was definitely a better choice out there in some alternate timeline that I didn't lay my hands on in this one.

Told myself I was going to take a break and relax by playing a few minutes of Silksong, but I realized that is basically the same thing as saying I am going to take a break and relax by walking barefoot on Legos.

I’m not an overworder at all - and I don’t think it works as a 2 parter

Travis Baldree @travisbaldree.bsky.social · 23d

Whew, passed 100k on this draft. Longest thing I've ever written. Gosh I wish the end was in sight!

I think all of the L&L books have to be about a change, and so when Viv is ready for one, I'm sure she'll let me know, or vice-versa. I'd like her to be able to enjoy her life for a little while though before the tea-table gets upended. :)

This'n isn't actually a Legends & Lattes book -
DETOUR.

Welllll this next book is not a Legends & Lattes book. DETOUR.
I can't say what the future is for Viv & co yet!

I prefer to think of it as positive self-sabotage.

Have passed 84k and the wordcount of Bookshops & Bonedust - another few days and I should be past Brigands & Breadknives, and this will be the longest thing I have written.
Not sure how to feel about the fact that I'm maybe halfway through it.

Have a motivational backyard turkey.

“Are you getting your word count?” asks the turkey.
“No,” you reply.
The turkey glowers menacingly.
