Blurb Were we not meant to know the truth? It is by the hands of loresmen that heroes and villains are risen from history’s foundations, today’s stories that became yesterday’s histories that became the legends of yore. And from those legends emerge truths…of a sort. The truths that best serve a story when the facts […]

Guest Post: Self-Pub: A Very Merry Midyear Report by Michael Michel
Luck is nice, being willing to tirelessly grind is better. Since I started my publishing journey over three years ago in 2023, I’ve managed to stay in the green every year.

Guest Post: Why Adults Should Consume Fantasy, Even When Living in a Dystopia by Zara Marielle
With the real world crumbling a little more beneath our feet every day, the urge to escape into fiction is strong, am I right? Tolkien said as much in his essay On Fairy Stories, likening escapism to a heroic act. Indeed, escapism can be a powerful tool in preserving our collective sanity, but it is […]

Is it better to succumb and survive, or escape by staking everything […]
