The Book of Spores dummy copy has arrived at @merrickbookshop.bsky.social and it is absolutely STUNNING!!! Seriously, it’s such a surreal feeling to witness a project like this coming together, but this is even better than we’d hoped 😍🍄

The hardest part about writing a third book in a series is that almost everything is a spoiler so I can’t find funny things to share about what I’m working on 🥲 Just know that everyone is gay and traumatized and it’s great!!

Now that I’m done IN THE SHADOW OF MY BRIGHT FUTUTRE, it’s time to buckle down and finish this revision of LEGACY OF ASH & STONE (Tainted Dominion 3) Could I release two books next year?? Maybe???
