Welcome to Arvia
The monsters are large
The pay is small
A sharp wit gets you further than a sharp blade
(but it’s a good idea to have both)
Welcome to Arvia! It’s a beautiful, dangerous world, overflowing with lush colorful flora, exotic creatures, and giant mythic monsters. Lots of giant monsters. Some of whom are even main characters. You’ll see this fantastical land through the eyes of human and non-human characters alike: ordinary people who survive by wits and creativity, rather than special skills, magic swords, or mystic artifacts. Denizens of Arvia are constantly in over their heads. But at the heart of every story: relationships. Sometimes friendships, sometimes romances, always forged in the most difficult of circumstances.
The newest release is The Forest of Fate, a stand-alone adventure romance features a human and wolf exiled to the worst wilderness in all the land. They must overcome creepy monsters, carnivorous trees, AND their pasts. A blend of heart-pounding adventures and heart-warming cozy moments.
If you like colorful characters, witty banter, creative conflict resolution, and rooting for the underdog, welcome to the tribe! Arvia awaits you! Subscribe to my newsletter here for art, stories, and humorous articles (some of which are actually intended to be humorous).
