Working to bring ambient magical energy to Talpin, Caedmon starts spending long days (and late nights) with brilliant magitech engineer Poh Ling. Should Teal be worried? Wait for the novel to see what drama arises. 😉
For now, enjoy Hyanide’s _Toddy at the Tipsy Trawler; or, The Work Crush_ (2024).

In the querying trenches with my novel, so the publication of my first paid short story last week was a much-needed ray of sunshine! Read “The Artist and the Merman,” a coming-of-age tale about the friendship of two boys from different worlds: www.orionsbeau.com/fantasy-quar...

Thinking abt. where the magic lives in storyworlds—like Camelot. Pemberley. Grayskull.

In _Talpin_, that place is the Tangled Depths: temple, school, and home of living treasure.
