Another story of the Bureau of Magic Abuse
8 months ago – Thu, Sep 07, 2023 at 11:14:18 PM

Just a quick note to say that Whale Mail, another story in the world of the Bureau of Magic Abuse, is now live on Kickstarter.

Like Dragon Soup, the book will be available in ebook, audio, paperback and hardcover, and like Dragon Soup, this will be an illustrated version that won't be available anywhere except via Kickstarter and later on my store.

Here is a quick description:


Picture this: you've somehow come into the possession of a dragon (long story--you can read the previous book if you really want to know, but it's kinda embarrassing, so you don't need to).

And you need to return that dragon to the place it came from.

You've tried putting it on a truck--but it destroyed the truck.

You've tried putting it on the train--but it destroyed the carriage.

Now you've put the dragon in a warehouse while you figure out what to do, but--

You guessed it: the dragon destroys the warehouse.

Tell me, why wouldn't you trick some rich merchant into lending you the only thing you haven't yet tried: a boat.

Trouble is, the merchant's price is that you return an old artefact to the whale kingdom along the way.

Whales are not nice. They're very big. They're cranky. And, here is a secret: they hate dragons.

They especially hate dragons.

News for fantasy readers

It's been a while since the Dragon Soup campaign, but I have some news!

Fist of all, I have another fantasy project live right now. Mist & Dawn is the first book in a new series, the Starfire Trilogy.  This is alternate world fantasy.

Ancient machines protect the continent of the three lands from deadly icefire. But who made these machines and why did this civilisation die out? Worse, why did they come back?

You can read more here

Secondly, I will return to the Bureau of Magic Abuse later this year for a second volume, called Whale Mail. This is not live yet, so there is nothing to follow, but it's coming.

Thanks so much for your support, and also, we're ready to go!

Within the next week or two, I will send out all books and other items. You will receive a separate message with details about whatever tier you supported.

Plus I'll send separate updates about the stretch goal material.

It's all happening!

Meanwhile, you can find all my books on my webstore Dragon Soup is not listed there yet as we speak (not until I'm completely done sending stuff out to everyone here), but all my other books are.
