Greetings, fellow fantasy fanatics and lore lovers! 🧙‍♂️✨

Ever wondered what happens behind the mystical curtain of indie fantasy publishing? In this rare “Craftsman’s Workshop” livestream, I reveal all the spellbinding chaos of my publishing plans for 2025 and beyond—straight from my candle-lit scriptorium (okay, maybe just my desk, but still magical).

From delays with Cantos of Arcadia (curse you, structural edits!) to revealing stunning new cover art, launching Wood Between Worlds Press, and spilling the enchanted ink on my top-secret author coaching program, this video is jam-packed with writerly wizardry, publishing potions, and more than a few epic announcements.

I’m also giving you a sneak peek at the illustrated Raven Son omnibus, new illustrators, Kickstarter plans, and a secret leatherbound edition that’ll make any collector swoon.

If you’re an aspiring author, seasoned storyteller, or just love the backstage drama of fantasy lit, pull up a chair. This one’s for you. 🛡️📜
