Magic Banquet likely was the choicest dish in the series. I often imagine continuing the series in the Lands of Loam, though I do not have anything currently underway.

Dear Jake Hill,

I am thrilled the world has not ended in the eons it took me to answer this question, but at least now I can offer your heart's desire. Dark Lord's Wedding can as of this moment be gleaned in paperback from Amazon.

new editions for novels

I've re-edited and uploaded new editions for all my fantasy novels. The last in this odyssey is Morgan of Sea and Storm, and that's what I'll be talking about in this post.

I could not read this book, as the majority deals with people suffering amidst climate crisis, something I find both triggering and mundane.
