Oh, hi there! It's cover reveal day for Brigands & Breadknives, with art yet again by the amazing @emberwickart.bsky.social-
I love it so ❤️
Coming Nov 11 '25 from @torbooks.bsky.social-

Cover for Brigands & Breadknives, depicting a campfire scene with an elven adventurer, a rattkin writing letters in the back of a wagon, surprised by a goblin in a patchwork coat brandishing a breadknife, with a demon chicken on their head. Okay, so it's hard to describe.

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer is currently on sale across most platforms. 1.99 for the ebook for however long it lasts. (No one tells me these things.)

The book Hold Me Closer Necromancer set against a purple background with two adorable ghosts reading.

New North American hardcover edition of @travisbaldree.bsky.social's BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST out tomorrow!

zenoagency.com/news/new-boo...

Published by @torbooks.bsky.social.

New hardback cover for Travis Baldree's BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST - a female orc leans against the counter in a bookshop, holding a pastry in one hand and an open book in the other. An owl-dog looks hungrily at the pastry, while a large mouse (wearing a cape) takes some notes with a quill pen. Also title/author information.

One of the things I find hardest about writing is the knowledge that whatever scene I choose, however I attempt to accomplish something, there was definitely a better choice out there in some alternate timeline that I didn't lay my hands on in this one.

Told myself I was going to take a break and relax by playing a few minutes of Silksong, but I realized that is basically the same thing as saying I am going to take a break and relax by walking barefoot on Legos.

This kid didn’t even own a ruler I guess.

I’m not an overworder at all - and I don’t think it works as a 2 parter

Travis Baldree @travisbaldree.bsky.social · 29d

Whew, passed 100k on this draft. Longest thing I've ever written. Gosh I wish the end was in sight!

I think all of the L&L books have to be about a change, and so when Viv is ready for one, I'm sure she'll let me know, or vice-versa. I'd like her to be able to enjoy her life for a little while though before the tea-table gets upended. :)

This'n isn't actually a Legends & Lattes book -
DETOUR.

Welllll this next book is not a Legends & Lattes book. DETOUR.
I can't say what the future is for Viv & co yet!

I prefer to think of it as positive self-sabotage.

Have passed 84k and the wordcount of Bookshops & Bonedust - another few days and I should be past Brigands & Breadknives, and this will be the longest thing I have written.
Not sure how to feel about the fact that I'm maybe halfway through it.
