With just a week left before release, I wanted to share some cool in-world concept art for The Fox's Crown. This is a lodestone throne, using the repelling power of magnets to hover in midair.
Reserved for the Magnis of Isken, it's the latest invention of the Makers, Isken's famed artisan class.

Only 4 weeks left to go until The Fox's Crown is released! In the meantime, here's a sneak peek of the map to enjoy!
The full map will be visible in the book itself, and after release date you can always DM me for the full size image. Cant have a good fantasy book without a map.

Found out about this very cool author's cafe right here in Rotterdam, with private writing rooms, lots of bookshelves, and a good view of the port. It's called the Veerhuis (Ferry House) and definitely worth visiting. Well, if you're ever in the Netherlands...

Hello all!
After a lot of hard work by @merilliza.bsky.social, the cover for The Fox's Crown is finally complete! All that remains now is to add the title and book blurb, but I wanted to show off the artwork by itself first.
Expect more news about the release date soon, but for now, enjoy the art!

Now onto the first draft of The Fox's Crown cover art by @merilliza.bsky.social. We went for a combination of thumbnails B and D, so we have the heroic stance but also the cool lanterns on the ship. Expect a lot more colors, but the composition probably won't change much for the final version.

Recently I received the first sketches for the cover of my upcoming book, The Fox's Crown, and I'm already impressed. I was drawn in by the great fantasy illustrations on @merilliza.bsky.social's site. Check out her page if you're looking for a good fantasy cover artist!

A bit late to the party, but the winner of the tenth SPFBO (self-published fantasy blog-off) award has just been announced! By Blood, By Salt By JL Odom is a character-driven military fantasy set in a unique world. SPFBO brings the spotlight to Indie authors, and is definitely worth checking out!
