Here be dragons. And dragon riders. And deeply troubled battle mages, for that matter. Oh, and a vampyre. And a whistling gryphon. And I should probably mention the world-ending monsters. And the minotaurs, too. Or the warhammer that steals souls. Damn it. www.amazon.com/dp/B074CC7YQY

Always utterly mind-blowing to look at all time sales on KDP, especially when it doesn't count pre 2011, direct sales, audio, and other platforms I used to be on.
You readers are the absolute best ❤️

REDWAAAAALL! I dug out my entire collection to show them off. Not the whole series of course but every book I managed to collect. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I read these. Every cover is a banger and Brian J is a fucking legend.
