10 Years of the Valducan - A Retrospective
Ten years ago, my debut novel Dämoren released, marking the start of my Valducan monster-hunting series. Three sequels, a few short stories, and some audio books later, it's time to look back on the journey of how it came to be and what it led to - the triumphs, setbacks, close-calls, this YouTube channel, and the publishing business itself.
