Peak René Aigner art! 😍 I'm thrilled to unveil the latest artwork going into An Emperor's Gamble!
From the original cover artist for Legend of Tal, we have a pivotal scene at the Nightelf village of Naruah.
Honored to still be working with René half a decade later!

The wife & I have been on a Studio Ghibli kick of late!
So far, we've watched Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away. Howl's we particularly enjoyed, though both were spectacular.
Do you have a favorite Studio Ghibli movie? Let me know - always wondering which one we should go for next.

Another bigot railing against my female ranger series! Can you imagine being so misogynistic you spend your free time doing this? 😅
In case you can't tell, they've taken the book description for The Last Ranger and Mad Libbed it into... well, just read it for yourself.
