Hey! How are you feeling? Would ne interested in chatting about this yet. I need to start getting everything nailed down. If not, that is totally ok and maybe we can do something in late 2026. :)

My readers are so damn talented!!! Philippe Jeanquartier from Switzerland created this incredible trio of fungal people illustrations, inspired by Mushroom Blues ππ

The knives are out in A MURDER MOST FUNGAL, a Fungalverse novella set in the aftermath of Mushroom Blues, combining the culinary wonder of Jiro Dreams of Sushi, the kitchen chaos of The Bear, and the explosive tension of Hong Kong crime thrillers.
Coming soon to a menu near you π£πͺ
Let me know when you are rdy for story talk. I want to give you the cover story. We have a shortened schedule due to it going to print for the first time ever!! If we do that, I need to get the cover rolling soonish.
