Now there isn't much of a mystery, you might say, and these things probably just wandered off with one of my many older siblings.

Five Burke's Lore Briefs books done. Next up ...

I have five Burke's Lore Briefs fantasy books completed. The volumes are themed with angels/demons. vampires, humorous LitRPG adventures, young superheroes, and older/retired supervillains. There were too many of those last two to combine in one book.
