Diversity is important in all media, and especially appropriate for fantasy, in my opinion. In a genre where anything is possible, entirely unconstrained by the real world, there is no real reason not to include people of different backgrounds, ethnicities, beliefs, and genders.

Just had a reader say my book "ruined other fantasy for them." THAT'S the goal. Once you taste fiction that respects your intelligence, the sugar-coated stuff stops satisfying. 🗡️

As an indie author, marketing is tough. That's why I hired Christian Bale to help sell my book.
Just look at that endorsement!
