Cover reveal: The Curse of Dragon Tail Island
(Jan 2026)

Dragonlance meets Pirates of the Caribbean in this swashbuckling pirate fantasy - a revenge fueled tale of clashing cutlasses, monsters and magic, second-chance romance, and salty sea adventure! 🦜

More info: www.jonathannevair.com/press-kit
A ship's deck with a man in a white cotton shirt, wielding a cutlass and wearing a tricorn hat. Next to him is a half-elf in a blue rope with a magic staff, and a dwarven sailor, as well as a large half-orc holding two barrels of rum with a kraken tattoo on her shoulder. The title reads, The Curse of Dragon Tail Island.

Looking for a festive free frollick from the post-apocalyptic west to the industrial lair of the oppressive Cthonic council? There is no Christmas in this book but it would still look good under your tree!

I was reminded about book trailers earlier today and remembered I did a book trailer for Trollgrave! I don't think I ever cut it to size for social media (just YouTube) so I thought why not do it now??
