Good morning readers and fellow writers. It is with the happiest of hearts that I share the news that the first issue of Wyngraf, a new magazine of cozy fantasy, premieres today! It is available to purchase as an e-book (and is free if you have Kindle Unlimited) or as a paperback.
From the description on its Amazon listing:
Fantasy fans, curl up and stay a while!
At last, cozy fantasy has a magazine all its own. Wyngraf #1 offers nine snug stories in the tradition of Redwall and The Hobbit. Go there and back again with lush settings, caring characters, and dragons of all sizes.
