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.

Going through the graphic novels after finishing the series feels like dessert. These installments are a great way to pass the time waiting for the next book to release. The art is beautiful, too.

Starter Villain is Despicable Me/Artemis Fowl for adults.

Fast paced and full of knee-slapping wit and humor that reminded me of the Lego Batman movie, this is an absolutely ridiculous story that is perfect for the reader who wants to be entertained.
