It’s been a long and winding road to get to this point, but I’m proud to say that Tales & Treasure is NOW available in ebook and paperback. (Still working on the hardcover. I want to do something cool.) Pretty freaking crazy. I’d laugh at you if you told me six years ago that the short stories I wrote about a bard would turn into a novel. Heck, I’d laugh at you one year ago if you told me Tales & Treasure would be published. I’m still in shock. All I can say is thank you, and I hope you like the story.
Acknowledgments
It took over five years to get here–five grueling, incredible, painful, fantastic years. This never would have been possible without a bunch of people who mean the world to me.
Remy, Mason, and Charlie, you're the reason I keep going.
Lindsey, I shouldn't have kept my secret project secret for so long, but thank you for being my partner and best friend and for your incredible support. I love you.
Of course, thank you, Mom and Dad. Mom, your encouragement and support have never wavered. Dad, thank you for introducing me to Lord of the Rings and other fantastical worlds. We probably wouldn’t be here if you didn’t let a 10-year-old tag along with you and your friends to the theater.
Thank you to the Substack community for reading and sharing each chapter of my story.
I can't forget about my beta readers who helped make this story, well, a story. Thank you, Ryan, Aditya, MV, Luna, and Tyler; Tales & Treasure would be stuck on a flash drive in my backpack if it weren't for your feedback and encouragement.
Time to write the next story.
I just bought it on kindle and am eager to read it, Rob.
Congratulations!
