Pages from the Bard’s Songbook (a newsletter about Dan Bonser's Ballad of the Emerald Bard)

If you enjoy dark, character-driven fantasy with music, politics, and high emotional stakes, you are in the right place.

This is my monthly newsletter and it goes out on the 13th of each month. Inside each issue you will find:

  • writing progress

  • reveals and teasers (art, music, maps, merch)

  • behind-the-scenes notes

  • preorder and release announcements

  • occasional deals and signed copy updates

There is no spam and no constant sales pitches. This is a monthly check-in for readers who want to follow the journey as the books come together.
