As an author and enthusiast of gnome-based literature, I had a lot of fun researching and writing this guest post on Christine Schulz's blog! The sheer diversity of gnome-like creatures and other magical little people in virtually every culture and on every continent is a lot of fun to delve into.

There’s some new gnomes vs knights TikTok trend that I can’t begin to understand, but the keywords are so close to the title of my kids book that I’ve been getting extra traffic to my socials and website from it.

I started a new draft of a new book on Tuesday and already got 3350 words in. It’s nice to have the story flow out of me, or have random thoughts about it, or have an “aha” moment about something to add. It’s great to have writing be going so smoothly again; I hadn’t really gotten much of it done for quite some time, so shelving that cosimic horror novel was the right thing to do.

The new story is about a gnomish arch-mage who has to take an ethics lesson because he tried to steal a god’s divinity. There’s magic, fantasy, and a more mature theme than Gnomes and Knights
