R.J. Setser is a pseudonym for wife and husband duo, Rayleigh and Joshua Setser. High-school sweethearts who found their happily-ever-after in 2019, Rayleigh and Joshua have been writing together since 2015 and finished their debut novel, A Queen is Knighted in 2020. They live in a small town in Texas with their 2 dogs, Watson and Rosie, and 1 cat, Yuna. They spend most of their time juggling contradicting work schedules to write together. In their free time, they can be found with either of their families at the lake, reading, and quite possibly, playing sword-fighting video games “for research”. Find them on Instagram & Threads (@rjsetserauthor) or online at rjsetser.com.

But the further into writing The Tunockian Chronicles that Joshua and I get, the more I'd love to visit Tunock, Nilvanria, or any of the places in our books. Exploring those worlds, tasting the food, and taking in the colors and fashion; that would be a dream.(less)

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
"If you want a perfect story that will make you want to curl up by a fire and figure out why people keep putting cream on honeycomb, this is it. It read with the same dreamy cadence of all my childhood favorites. I highly recommend."

Extremely slow pace for a mystery, but I liked it. Strike and Robin are a fun duo and I’ll probably read the next one once it’s available at the library. The mystery was hard to predict and fun to follow along.
