[4 days til book release!]
Sometimes it takes too long for idea to hit. For a tale written to honor spoken storytelling you’d think an audiobook would’ve occurred sooner. Finally, a year ago, it hit. My logic: I could DIY it. Sure, it'd be rough, but I love to learn—it’d be fun. So research began.

My story drops in 5 days so this feels like a good time to share the cover. If you saw my post about the artist you’ll understand why I love it. The scene is from a moment where our hero finds an enchanted axe. Avoiding spoilers, I will say

Soon I had a full backstory for the creatures - some of which didn't even make it to the page. Sharing a couple of images. It’s a wild thing to see something you dreamed up brought to life. Angela did such an incredible job.

I hope you love/hate them as much as I do.

With so much going on, I don’t want to lose sight of my story hitting (virtual) shelves soon so I’m going to share a little something each day. I want to begin by talking about the artist who, in a real way, is the reason I’m finally putting it out. The Tale of Tarak-Kar was written prior
