The Voyages of Cinrak the Dapper includes seven stories about Cinrak and her crew:
Set sail today!
A. J. Fitzwater has written a beautiful, hopeful, light-filled and joyous book!
This mosaic title is filled with anthropomorphic rodents, sea creatures, mer folk and... cats. It will more than make you smile.
With a swashbuckling capybara pirate captain and chinchilla kraken-communicating ship's mate adventuring with their pure hearts to... bearded islands... you'll never want this adventure to end!
A refreshing set of short fantasy tales that manage to be progressive and most of all a celebration of life. I heartily recommend these stories and hope you take to the high seas again soon!
A.J. Fitzwater has crafted a fun and delightful story focused on characters, that while not entirely human in appearance, have wonderfully human personalities.
There's something very soft and cuddly about these stories, in which krakens can become allies, stars can be freed from their royal captivity and sent back to the heavens, and pirates make for the most successful diplomats to all the various creatures of the earth (even the felines!)
The Voyages of Cinrak the Dapper had me at hello. I knew only this when I bought it: that it was about a dapper, lesbian, capybara pirate. It was enough.
There's a new addition to Cinrak's crew. Author AJ Fitzwater has penned a new extra, a very personal essay, describing their journey.
Don your favourite dapper waistcoat! Gather your Chinchilla ship’s mate and Kraken companion! Weigh anchor! And set sail for… Beard Island…?
A country on the brink of defeat. A woman who answers a call to arms. A man to challenge an Empire.
This warm-hearted tale explores marriage, love, and longing, set against the majestic backdrop of Morecambe Bay, the Lakeland Fells, and the faded splendour of the Midland Hotel.
Xiao Xiao dreams an ominous dream of a terrible creature, the Nian. Half lion, half dragon, half everything, it threatens all she loves.
