New fantasy map! With the addition of a war map that evolves throughout The Crystal Heir, the book will now have four maps (and more if you count each iteration of this one). This series will depict territorial gains/loses and army movement.

AmeriCorps funding cuts by the Trump administration cut off 32,000 people's jobs on a moment's notice and ensured that they have no access to severance or unemployment. $400 million in cuts is tiny, but its impact will be devastating for non-profits. www.rockrivercurrent.com/2025/04/amer...

Nikoza's portrait by @alhinrow.bsky.social for The Crystal Heir was completed a bit ago, and though it's been in some of my recent videos, I just realize I never made a standalone post for it! It's time to rectify that!

I'm looking for ARC reviewers for my flintlock fantasy epics The Crimson Court and The Crystal Heir. If you haven't read book 1 (Crimson Court), that's completely okay! I'm distributing copies for both ahead of The Crystal Heir's release in July. Apply: forms.gle/DsttnBJZAMQ3...

The next few months will be fun with the launch of The Crystal Heir in July and some events closer to home before I cap off the summer with two big comic cons. Not in the area? You can get signed copies on my website (www.Brendan-Noble.com/store) cheaper than unsigned ones on retailers!

I hate this from ACX (Audible/Amazon's production platform for audiobook titles). All audiobooks from my books are and will continue to be narrated by a real, human narrator.

It's really great having to fulfill a Kickstarter when you don't know if your deluxe books from the EU are about to be tariffed by 20%. Actually, it's terrifying. There aren't really any US printers that can affordably print deluxe with indies, and most just outsource to China.

This is why due process is essential. Trump deported an innocent legal immigrant to El Salvador and locked him up. Now, they won't bring him back. Innocent until proven guilty. Because at any time the government could decide it's your rights they ignore www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Every Kickstarter campaign, there's at least one person who responds to my "How would you like your name listed in the acknowledgements" question with "Yes" It makes me giggle.

Tired of all Fantasy being western European? Being half Polish myself, I've loved writing my two Slavic inspired fantasy series with mythology for The Frostmarked Chronicles and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth inspired politics and hussars for The Realm Reachers.
