I have long been a fan of this series and y’all should jump on it. Guy sees dead people and, as you might imagine, it messes him up. So to cope, he messes up people with a straight razor and sarcasm drier than Death Valley

I just finished The Red Scholar's Wake and I loved it so much! The ships are people with all the complexity and nuance that brings. The parent-child dynamics are so well done. And the romance is both delightful and deals with shame and feeling like you're not good enough. Highly recommend!

Yay! New book coming in August! It's a loose sequel to Refractions and works better in read in sequence, but can be read as a standalone. (Reviewers, DM me for a review copy! Much appreciated!)

A conversation on our Discord has prompted me to say again: remember, y'all, what really sells books is not the author talking about their work, but *readers* talking about it. Word of mouth drives far more sales than advertising or any other engine. So if you loved a book, tell your friends!

I'm not saying THE LAND OF LAUGHS is the best fantasy novel, but I'm not saying it's not. It's certainly in that company. Treat yourself.
