Ruinview
My novelization of our 2022 D&D in a Castle campaign (for personal use only). I’m the gnome moon circle druid, Chromie!
A rag-tag group of outsiders from all over the world have befriended one another in the salty, coastal town of Ruinview, where they ply their trades. When the town’s mayor warns that the nearby forest suddenly turned into a charred marshland over night—and with it the reappearance of a mythical castle made entirely of bones—these heroes can’t stand idly by. They boldly meet the threat of a ghostly attack that leaves one in their ranks a literal day from death by old age, and confront an otherworldly water deity set on flooding the material plane to rule it all.
Art by Aly Huber; cover design by me. See my post about the book here, or how I designed, formatted and printed it.
Twilight’s Edge
My novelization of our 2019 D&D in a Castle campaign for our group (for personal use only). I played Gimmer (see “Imaginary”) as a phoenix sorcerer. You can read about our 2019 trip and my book printing process.
Twilight’s Edge Home: a magical psychiatric hospital where you can engage in calm, peaceful activities such as painting, yoga, or even have your inner demons extracted and killed by our adventurous staff members—all included in the price of lodging! But, when the staff realizes the magical extraction device will soon be the cause of a demon incursion, they must travel to the Overbright, a cloud realm, to track down its source and defeat the evil before it’s too late.
Character art by Jacob Grimoire. Cover design by Cal5086 on Fiverr.
Haldem Rising
In this novel adaptation of a D&D campaign by my hubs, Quinn Sellers, sisters Nitzee, Akta and Ea find three remarkable creatures: a blind black dragon, a deaf green dragon, and a mute red dragon. When the girls’ remote forest village is destroyed by dragon hunter invaders, the sisters are forced on a desperate quest to save all dragon kind.
Character art by Rachel Denton; mock-up cover design by me. **Book in progress.**
