Travis Baldree

It's too bad that our technology is not advanced enough for Microsoft Word to calculate wordcount in less than twenty minutes after opening a document. Alas.

Prague ComicCon graphic for Travis Baldree - author photo and three book images, of the author's Czech translated editions.

Czech cover for Travis Baldree's BANDITI A BŘITMISTŘI (Brigands & Breadknives) - a cozy fantasy campfire scene: a goblin, large mouse, elf, and horse gather around a cooking pot. It's nighttime. Snowy peaks and trees in the background. Wonder what they're cooking...?

Next week, @travisbaldree.bsky.social is a guest at Prague ComicCon!

These are so incredible! Please pass on my deepest admiration to your 11-year-old, and let them know how delighted I was ❤️ I hope they create artwork forever.

An illustration by my 11yo in colored pencil of characters from Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. On the left is Tandri, a succubus with pink skin and purple hair, wearing an apron and carrying a tray with a cinnamon roll and a coffee mug. In the middle is Viv, an orc with green skin and black hair wearing a tank top and holding a kettle (coffee pot?) and a mug. On the right is Thimble, a ratkin with gray fur wearing an apron who is carying a tray with a cinnamon roll and mug of coffee on it - Thimble is a bit panicked because the items on the tray are almost spilling.

An illustration by my 11yo in colored pencil of characters from Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree. On the left is Viv, an orc with green skin and black hair, reading a book and leaning companionably against Potroast, a gryffon. On the right is Fern, a ratkin with brown fur and a red cloak writing on a paper with a quill.

An illustration by my 11yo in colored pencil of characters from Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree. Fern, a ratkin with brown fur and a red cloak, is writing on a piece of paper with a quill and using a brown horse named Bucket (who is lying down and sleeping) as a desk. In the bottom left is an elf named Asteryx, who is warily looking at a goblin named Zyll who appears to be feeding a demon chicken some...eyeballs...

An illustration by my 11yo in colored pencil of characters from Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree. On the left is Zyll, a small goblin with green skin and orange hair wearing a large coat made entirely out of pockets, is running with a bag of coins in one hand and a knife in the other with a look of mischievous glee on her face. On the right is Zyll's companion, labeled as a Death Chicken...which is probably the best description for it as well.

My 11yo asked about my Legend & Lattes series on my bookshelf. I gave a brief overview of the characters & story. They were immediately inspired to draw their own version & asked me to make sure @travisbaldree.bsky.social saw. My personal fav. is the one of Zyll, but they are all fantastic.

Preorder your copy to receive a signed bookplate and a free bookmark, and help support an amazing indie bookstore.

Find it in my bio.

Tor has the audio rights to this now (they acquired them from me when they acquired the series) -
This is Pan Macmillan, so I think you'll probably find that they don't allow this sort of thing. I'm not sure exactly who you reached out to, though-

For everyone who asked, yes there is indeed a special edition version of Brigands & Breadknives to match the others with lovely new chapter header illustrations by John Golden @jpegolden.bsky.social and beautiful endapapers by @emberwickart.bsky.social - as well as a box set of all 3!

Thank you so much! <3

There's a short story collection that'll be coming out - and I can't imagine I won't return. Just need the right story to tell :)

Every market has its own needs and styles - the UK seems to really look down on 'illustrated' covers as being for kids, for instance.

Maple syrup

Charms and trinkets

Many friendship bracelets

Custom bound books!

Beautiful painted edges

Potroast!

Crocheted Fern

Viv & Tandri figurine

I came back from book tour with so many delightful gifts! I so appreciate all your words and creativity and time spent making these treasures, and also your character costumes. ❤️ Not pictured: the delicious Thimblets and ginger cookies, because they did not survive long enough. This'll take a few...

A whole load of book editions

Spines of various translations

More 2025 gratefulness - The pile of mail I came home to after book tour included some very cool special editions and new translations!

Owlcrate mini sword replica of Blackblood

Owlcrate goodies

Potroast stuffie

Owlcrate hardbacks and notepads

In the new year, I'm reflecting on wonderful things that I didn't manage to acknowledge in 2025 -
The Owlcrate Books and Goodies were so cute. Painted edge special editions, so many neat details and a little Potroast stuffie!

Pencil bust sketches of a ratkin lady in a cloak, a pigtailed goblin with a shark tooth grin and a coat made of pockets and a grim faced one eared short haired elf lady with a sword slung over her back. Also a tiny doodle of the ratkin saying fuck. The ratkin is Fern, the goblin is Zill and the elf is Asterix.

Doodled characters from the book a bit while Wife and I finished listening to the audiobook of Brigands and Breadknives by @travisbaldree.bsky.social

Wife’s recovering from surgery, so it’s nice to sit and listen. Trying to draw still doesn’t come easy, so I’ll take what my brain will let me do.
