On the Road
Follow me on my YouTube channel as I, Brian D. Anderson, the renegade bard of mystery and mayhem, embark on an epic journey of magic and danger.
I will be riding my trusty steed, Puck (a Harley Ultra Classic) across the land to various conventions where I will be signing books, meeting fans, and being an overall menace to society.
I hope you follow along with me and join in on the adventure.
