Folks: we received the latest dummy copy of the special edition of "Echoes of the Imperium" and it is absolutely flipping stunning. Look at it. LOOK AT IT!

Absolutely living for those endpapers ❤️ I can't wait to hold the final copy in my hands. I long to see the map and character art!

A sample of some of the audiobooks on sale! I thoroughly enjoyed @jbensonink.bsky.social's "Fire in the Glass", but her "Empire of Shadows" is part of a series that is a love letter to fans of "The Mummy" and "Indiana Jones".

Avast, me hearties! It's time to hoist up your headphones! The audiobook to "Echoes of the Imperium" is now available on our author store! Links to other stores will be coming up in a few days, but this is the best way to support us Canadian authors. Narrated by yours truly!

Sorry for the delayed updates! It's been a wild blur, with some technical difficulties! We're on day two and blew through so many stretch goals!

The first one, a map, has been chosen! Onto round 2: sprayed edges or lovely endpapers!

Snag a copy, and choose!

For example: WHY THE HELL DID KARRIN MURPHY NEED TO TAKE OFF HER PANTS TO DISARM BOMBS. WHAT REQUIRED THIS?

It's upsetting finding more books and stories these days that celebrate sexual violence in fantasy, typically as penned by male authors and audiences.

So, to spite that toxic nonsense, I spent the day baking and then wrote a review for Legends & Lattes.

As some of you know, when I'm not writing or helping Olivia with our many projects, I love to cook and bake.

It's not often I splurge on a little something for me. This has been a wild ride already, and I can't wait to go through ALL of the tagged recipes. Highly recommend this hilarious book.
