Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS! Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot. Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

A cover illustrated by James Fenner. A woman with long red hair and padded clothing sits on the ground, petting the head of a smiling serpentine dragon. But the dragon has more than one head! On the left, a second giant dragon head emerges, frowning, looking at her while wearing a monocle. On the right, a third giant dragon head emerges, jaws wide, screaming in anger. The text is teal, contrasting sharply against the red and maroon of the creatures. The text on the cover reads "THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS. JOHN WISWELL, author of the Nebula and Locus Award-winning SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN."

so: what do we need you to do? call your D/I senators. find contact info here: reps.fyi what do we need you to say? try the call script below. adapt it; make it your own! there are bailout points written in, in case you get nervous. but please *call.* 🧵 want more info? context? keep reading. ⬇️

Hi, my name is [say your name] and I'm one of Senator [say your senator's name]'s constituents. House Republicans are trying to insert a full transgender healthcare funding ban into the F-Y '26 budget bill. I'm calling to tell the Senator to stand up for trans Americans and vote NO on any bill with that language. [you can stop here at 0:15 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't] This care funding ban follows the map the G-O-P charted while attacking abortion. Democrats lost that fight by giving in to the G-O-P an inch at a time. Now, hundreds of millions of people have lost the right to control their own bodies. Giving an inch at a time on trans care will devastate trans Americans and it'll get Democrats nothing in return but contempt. [you can stop here at 0:35 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't] Right now, the most popular Democrat in the U-S, [Zo-RAHN Mom-DA-nee], is campaigning on making trans healthcare cheaper and easier to access, and he's only got more good will because of it. [you can stop here at 0:47 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't] I'm asking the Senator to stand with trans people now. Refuse to allow any anti- trans funding ban—healthcare OR sports—to pass into the F-Y '26 bill and do not vote for any bill with that language just to avoid a shutdown. Standing with trans people is the right thing to do and it's politically smart. Voters and donors show up for Democrats who fight. *** No need to read, but if anyone asks: The relevant House Appropriations Bill sections are 243-246 (healthcare funding ban) and 311-312 (sports funding ban).
