It's been a while, but I'm back with the latest book in the series.
The Dollmaker in Wonderland takes our heroes to Fairburn's Wonderland, the grandest theme park in all of Shattered Zemyah. Basically one day I was watching a let's play of FFVII: Rebirth, saw some of the Gold Saucer section, and thought it would be a cool idea to set the next novel in a theme park.
Only this theme park has been bought up by the Cydonia Trading Company, and subverted by the forces of Hell, playing on the new owners' greed. So just as our heroes arrive, the park gets overwhelmed by devils, trying to create a beachhead for a full infernal invasion of Shattered Zemyah, all while being chased by Calista's pirate crew as well.
I'm really looking forward to putting this book in the hands of readers. And, while I've made sure to put in plenty of action, I can confidently say this is the funniest book I've written. Chiyo and Opal kept coming up with hilarious lines, plus Calista is forced to contend with even weirder additions to her pirate crew: a Mantid bard playing experimental music on bagpipes and bass saxophone, plus Krossalg'kork--a hulking, slimy Sea Devil with a monosyllabic vocabulary.
You can pre-order now, or wait 'till the book launches on KU, on 10/24/25.
