Listen…fall is basically here, and LUCIANUS will take you straight to those autumn-swamped forests 🍂 and fire-lit inns 🍻 just saying! I’m from New England, I couldn’t help it, lol. Find the book here: mybook.to/lucianus

The cover of “Lucianus” on a purple landscape background, and at the top it says “Out now!” Various descriptive blurbs are scattered around it, including “D&D-inspired magic!” “A feared wizard brought back to life for one more task!” and “Queernormative worldbuilding!”

On a purple landscape background, a quote reads “Adventure with plenty of spell-slinging, a fun ‘fish out of water’ feel for Lucianus…and a touch of romance…I liked both our leads tremendously. — Jenny on Goodreads”

collected some seed from the garden today - penstemon, swamp milkweed, pale coneflower, and others. hoping to sprout a good half-dozen of each next spring so I can give some away.

The fact that the average fantasy writer spends hundreds of hours world-building is a statistical illusion. Georg Tolkien, who spent four decades world-building, is an outlier and should not be counted.
