Speak with the Dead is an epic fantasy about grief, trust, and heroism.
Anna Hale is pushed into a military conspiracy, and her team's failure would mean the start of the next great war. Can she overcome her failings, or will they lead to her end?

I am getting ready to go to the @faeballevents Myths and Legends Fae Ball in Kansas City in May, so I put together some looks inspired by dresses I can't afford and Morterra, the god of death from my epic fantasy Speak with the Dead. Which look is your favorite? What direction should I go in?

If I were a D&D character, I'd be a human looking after some hobbits. Aragorn is pictured with four hobbits.
If I were a D&D character, I'd be a sarcastic tabaxi, along for the ride. Jiji from Kiki's delivery service is pictured riding a broom with Kiki.
If I were a D&D character, I'd be an automaton, helping my brother find the philosopher's stone. Ed and Al Elrich are shown from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
If I were a D&D character, I'd be a firbolg, selling magic items to adventurers. Pumat Sol from the Mighty Nein by Critical Role is shown.
If I were a D&D character, I'd be...
Which one are you? Are you something else entirely?

Speak with the Dead is a dark, funny, epic fantasy about grief, trust, and heroism. Anna Hale is smart in the woods, less so with a sword. What happens when she is thrown into a plot to start a war by a tyrannical governor? Can she and her new team foil his plans, or will she die trying?

Sure, Speak with the Dead is about grief, trust, and heroism. It's inspired by classic fantasy and games like Dungeons and Dragons, with some new spins. It's got action, adventure, magic, and a romantic subplot.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for βillegals trying to vote.β
