Pick a universe
Nole Moody writes in more than one universe. They don’t share a map — one’s a stranger Britain, another’s a starship a long way from anywhere — but they share a voice: dry, warm, and quietly convinced the sensible one in the room is usually the monster. Start wherever you like.

He came through a portal to conquer a world. He stayed to mark its homework.
