Travis is a full-time audiobook narrator who has lent his voice to hundreds of stories. Before that, he spent decades designing and building video games like Torchlight, Rebel Galaxy, and Fate. Apparently, he now also writes books. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his very patient family and their small, nervous dog. He is the author of Legends & Lattes and Bookshops & Bonedust.
What I love about Travis Baldree is that set against an epic world
of adventure, he writes about the small victories that make life
worthwhile. Bookshops & Bonedust does this and it is glorious
*Ben Aaronovitch, author of Rivers of London*
It's the rare prequel that beautifully adds depth, power, and love
to the lore. This is a book for those who were once young and
pulled between fighting the world with all they had . . . or
curling up in a dusty bookshop with a good story
*J. R. Dawson, author of First Bright Thing*
Well, damn, he’s done it again. Bookshops & Bonedust is hilarious,
heartwarming, and wholesome as heck. If you loved the first you’ll
almost certainly love this perfectly executed prequel even more, as
the stakes are higher and the scones are hotter still!
*Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld*
As enchanting a prequel as one could ever desire, Bookshops &
Bonedust brings the same humor and heart as its predecessor, and
has cemented Travis Baldree as an auto-read author for me. Books,
baked goods, and necromancy - what more could you possibly want in
a story?
*Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart*
Bookshops & Bonedust is the perfect follow up to Legends & Lattes;
it's a pleasure to meet a Younger Viv and watch her grow slowly,
stubbornly, into the orc we love so much. Some bittersweetness is
inevitable, but Baldree reminds us that the past - even our
mistakes - is the fertile soil where we plant the seeds of a
beautiful future
*C. L. Clark, author of The Unbroken*
Magical and full of heart, Bookshops & Bonedust is every bit as
enchanting as its predecessor. Spending more time with Viv was a
joy
*Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular
Witches*
Bookshops & Bonedust will resonate with anyone who has ever
conflated their worth with their productivity, who has ever worried
about being left behind if they take a moment to breathe, who has
ever allowed a book to save them from a bad day. Beautifully
humane, it is a loving reminder that the best parts of life are
what happens between the big moments
*Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth*
Bookshops & Bonedust is a fabulist's love song to indie
booksellers, but much more besides. As with Legends & Lattes,
Travis Baldree gives us a deeply satisfying fantasy without gore,
wonder without dread, and joy for its own sake
*Christopher Buehlman, author of The Blacktongue Thief*
