Dear Reader, It is so wonderful to be able to say this: Arcane Inkdustries is a real company. The LLC has been filed, and we are now going to be a real publisher. Writing those words don't even feel real, but there they are. I think every time you plan for a boring time out in the world, that's when the most exciting moments are right around the corner. The plans right now are slow, but surely developing. We'll be bringing the Legends of the Realm trade paperback to life, and letting you know about everything coming in this world. But for now, I'm just excited to say that the books are being written, and the future is bright! Best, Jack Holder How are the books coming along?Just before writing this newsletter, I finished drafting part 1 of Book 2 for "The Innkeeper's Dirge." Almost 90,000 words in is a good halfway mark, don't you think? It has been a bit harder as of late, but that is just reality for a stay-at-home-parent. 2026 StatsProgress on Book 2: 89,132 Words Poems written this year: 19 Poems from this week!As part of our project 369, we'll be bringing our poems to you! Every newsletter will bring selections from our favorites this week. Where should I start with Arcane Inkdustries?The best place to start is with our flagship comic series, Legends of the Realm. Where heroism and villainy depends less on who you are, then who is telling your story. Camriddeon the mage has just been appointed court mage to the kingdom of Dannisfire. And his first quest from his king is simple: go see your new home. Bring me new magics, and construct a miracle. And so Camriddeon travels far and wide. Seeing the kingdom with fresh eyes. And hoping that this quest will not end in his doom.
