Good jokes and tweed jackets — they never go out of fashion! 😂

Being in Osten Ard is like wearing my favorite tweed jacket — a perfect fit! I can’t wait to follow up with The Last King of Osten Ard starting in January. In the meantime, I’ll dry my eyes after the gorgeous ending of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn.

@philipchase90.bsky.social aka "the nemesis" 🐲 is doing a series of videos on @tadwilliams.bsky.social' Osten Ard books, starting with Memory, Sorrow and Thorn: youtu.be/2w12LQlhI9c?... 🗡️🗡️🗡️ Can't wait to watch this

A “temporary cenotaph” — ha ha!

A map can be such a great way to ground a story, and I’m so happy with how @tallshepherd.com crafted the one for The Edan Trilogy.

The map I created for the wonderful @philipchase90.bsky.social and his special edition released via the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social, this was an upgraded version of an earlier map I put together when Philip first released his epic trilogy!

Looking forward to it! 🔥
