Strange Ad Copy, right?

It's weird. I keep writing these posts that start as advertisements for my books then devolve into writing journals and behind the scenes confessionals, stuff that, honestly would make more sense as a blog post. I post them like that anyway because most people on FB won't see the extra stuff unless they click, read more., but those who do might kinda like it.  Here's the last one:

A Sword and Sorcery with all the trappings of Cozy Fantasy, makes for comfy (if somewhat bloody) winter reading.

When I first pitched this series to D.K., I knew he'd be into it. I knew he loved assassins running foggy rooftops and hiding out in cozy taverns. I knew he loved quirky sidekicks and tangled magic. I'd edited for Holmberg long before we ever wrote together, so I knew the kind of story he liked to tell and I had my favorite "Holmberg-ims".
At the same time, I have my own Progression Fantasy series, I knew my readers would like a protagonist who grows stronger each book. They know I like to dwell on quiet moments, they know I like cinematic fights a bards reciting ballads.
That's how The Dragon's Hide came to be.
It's not Cozy Fantasy, per-se, but it's a type of Fantasy Adventure very interested in the moods and places that cozy stories inhabit.
We're five books in, and writing a sixth, closing out the second three book arc of the series. So it's a good choice for readers who like "completed" series.
D.K. writes like crazy, so you've always got more to read from his side. But I'm a bit slower and this collab has been my main focus for the last three or four years. When book six drops and we take a step back, I want to do the works, hardcovers, special treatments, audio editions.
But that only works if people keep reading it and I only know that you've read it if you tell me. So if you like the books or have read them before please, let me know in the comments, or leave a review, or join my newsletter at http://www.dustinporta.com
Until then, happy reading, and Happy Holidays!
