Thanks for joining in The Tale of Barathea and the Great Hunter!

Hello Stitchbinders!

Have I got a treat for you!

I started The Tale of Barathea and the Great Hunter to explain the lore behind the creation of Stitchbinding and Woolworsting as a bonus for my first Backerkit campaign. But I had SO MUCH FUN writing it that it kept getting longer and longer. I was like, this isn't a novella. This is a novel! And a fun one at that.

Although I loved the dark blue and gold cover, I asked my original cover designer to create one that matched the rest of the series. I will be creating a bookmark inspired by the original cover for all those who follow and back the campaign.

I also am doing something I've never done before. I asked an artist, Paige Coffer, to create a bunch of character art for me. One person for each land. She finished the first one and I wanted to give you a sneak peek so you can get excited. Meet Kev. He's the prince of Barbaden.

Thank you for being here! I hope you're as excited as I am for this project!
