Me, last Tuesday: Columbus write up, a cursory mention that one of the authors present was dropped by the publisher. BDH: What does drop mean? Mod R, to me: They want to know what dropped means. Me, this Monday: Explanatory post of what dropped means. BDH: Are your series getting

A Public Apology to Becka Moon
When we were first working on Kair Toren, we commissioned a map from Becka Moon of Becka Designs Cartography. Becka is a map artist who works with Inkarnate. To clarify before some misunderstanding might occur: Inkarnate is not generative AI and has never been one. It is illustrative software

Fake Store
Our store has been cloned by a scam artist. Meaning it has been copied in its entirety and reproduced elsewhere. It is down now thanks to the quick action by the registrar and vigilance of the BDH. Unfortunately, in the age of AI it is very easy to copy sites. This will happen again. The

Housekeeping, Plushies, Games, Etc
Mod R has faithfully gathered your questions for the upcoming zoom, and I am going to ask you to rethink some of them. You're asking things like who is the author, who Maggie ends up, and so on. Those are the questions that will be answered in the future books. We cannot spoiler the story for

No Friday Post
Usually there are fun things on Fridays, but we've had life stuff. I try to keep most of our problems away from the blog, and I will preface this by saying that we hope the worst is over and there is improvement, so you don't get preemptively stressed out. Update: Mona is home. She is back to

Diamonds, Zaden, and Mod R’s Holiday
Dear BDH, Mod R is taking a couple of weeks off for the holiday and other reasons, which means you are stuck with me starting with this Saturday until after Monday 29th. You are my favorite people and I'm very submerged in writing right now, which is why Mod R works with us in the first place.

Dirty Tricks and Scammy Grifts

Merchandise Poll
The BDH has been loud and clear in their need for merch to be available. We understand that Christmas is coming up, and we are very flattered that you want to have cool stuff related to our writing. We are in talks with a small business who offered to print merch in-house, meaning they make it

Time Off
::Waves:: Something is going around in our area. It's like a summer cold and not a summer cold. It starts with body aches, specifically in the legs. Gordon and I both had it since Monday and it finally ran us down. I'm typing this and fantasizing about crawling onto the couch and napping. I
