In case you missed it, last November I got to be part of an author fundraising project Supa Hoard of a Wayward Dragon. (Thanks to my author friend R. Leonard for the book link and for being editor-in-chief of the project. 🤗) This anthology brought together 15 diverse authors for a limited edition (i.e. single print run), beautifully presented, fantasy anthology that followed the story of a dragon and its coin.

Copies have sold quickly, but word on the street is at least one author, A. L. Tippet, still has a “hoard” (🤣) of books, if you’re keen for one of your own. Launched at Brisbane Supanova 2025, the contributing authors (me and the Rendered Realms crew included) had a bit of fun with 3D printed dragons with coin in hand … er … claw. Many of us dressed in character and we even had a roving author readers had to chase down for a full complement of signatures (thanks, Mark!).

For those interested, my contribution continued Vivia’s adventures from ‘Over and Out’, my short story in the Crossed Spaces anthology. Our favourite Aussie with attitude is back in Australia after her international misadventures with Nathan, her in-the-flesh Texan ranger … sort of. In ‘Seeded Storm—A Virtual Mirage’ Vivia and her ninja hacking team have to infiltrate a seed bank. Enter a virtual dragon inseparable from its personal bitcoin, and the trouble has only just begun.

If you want to know more, you’ll just have to hunt down a copy.😉
