A Smashing Success

in which our hero wins an award

Dear Readers,

I’m thrilled to announce that my work has won a Worldbuilding Award. My article “Bards: The One Where You Create Your Own Episode” has won the Myths & Legends for 2025, and I understand that a shiny trophy will soon be on its way to my mailbox.

While I didn’t win the big category I was up for, Artist's Most Beautiful World, being nominated was indeed an honor and winning the other award for “Bards” is exceptionally validating. That was one of my quirkiest, silliest ideas, and it was the one that resonated the most. It just goes to show that you should always be the best version of yourself that you can be. Eventually, it might just pay off!

At any rate, thank you to everyone who voted! I really appreciate your support. And now, here are your next set of sneak peeks at issue #4 of The Blood of Seven Queens:

That’s all for this time. Paid subscribers, keep on scrolling for your full look at pages 13–16. Everyone else, I’ll see you back here next week!

Yours,
Chris
