Hey folks, the inaugural volume of Underland Arcana was published today, including my short story "The Gardener." This might be my last foray into the world of "The Garden of Blue Roses," but I don't know. The entire volume is available for free at https://www.underlandarcana.com. There are also links at that website for ebook and print editions. Enjoy!

That would be incredible.

You are too kind, my dear T! What a journey that would be. What a dream.




Oh T, thank you, thank you, thank you. Your words and enthusiasm mean so much to me! I hope you're well, dear reindeer. The biggest hugs right back!
