Mantles of Fate

My novelization of one of our 2024 D&D in a Castle campaigns (for personal use only). I played Nokoko (see Imaginary book) as a grave cleric of the Raven Queen.

In a modern-day fantasy setting in Cogitar, an impending apocalypse threatens all existence. Six strangers are drawn together and must repeatedly relive the final day of the world. As they grapple with danger, death, and dragons, they must uncover the truth behind the apocalypse and risk it all to save life itself, or face total annihilation.

Aboard the Leatherback

My novelization of one of our 2024 D&D in a Castle campaigns (for personal use only). I’m the warforged fighter/warlock/sorcerer, Echo!

Lured by the promise of fame and fortune, six unlikely heroes find themselves aboard the mysterious Leatherback, a floating fortress of pleasure and peril. But their dreams of glory take a dark turn when they sign an infernal contract, throwing them into a deadly gauntlet of monstrous creatures and magical mayhem for a brutal and infamous gladiatorial spectacle.

D&D party of 5 heroes on background of a castle and kracken tentacles

Ruinview

My novelization of our 2022 D&D in a Castle campaign (for personal use only). I’m the gnome moon circle druid, Chromie! 

A rag-tag group of outsiders from all over the world have befriended one another in the salty, coastal town of Ruinview, where they ply their trades. When the town’s mayor warns that the nearby forest suddenly turned into a charred marshland over night—and with it the reappearance of a mythical castle made entirely of bones—these heroes can’t stand idly by. They boldly meet the threat of a ghostly attack that leaves one in their ranks a literal day from death by old age, and confront an otherworldly water deity set on flooding the material plane to rule it all.

 Twilight’s Edge

My novelization of our 2019 D&D in a Castle campaign for our group (for personal use only). I played Gimmer (see Imaginary book) as a phoenix sorcerer. You can read about our 2019 trip and my book printing process.

Twilight’s Edge Home: a magical psychiatric hospital where you can engage in calm, peaceful activities such as painting, yoga, or even have your inner demons extracted and killed by our adventurous staff members—all included in the price of lodging! But, when the staff realizes the magical extraction device will soon be the cause of a demon incursion, they must travel to the Overbright, a cloud realm, to track down its source and defeat the evil before it’s too late.
