Travis Baldree is a full-time audiobook narrator who has lent his voice to hundreds of stories. Before that, he spent decades designing and building video games like Torchlight, Rebel Galaxy, and Fate. Apparently, he now also writes books, including his first novel Legends & Lattes. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his very patient family and their small, nervous dog.
"This is a story about following your dreams, even when they take
you away from who you thought you had to be. It's sweet, beautiful
and, most of all, kind. I hugely recommend this book."--Seanan
McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of Every Heart A Doorway
"This slice-of-life cozy fantasy novel has everything you've been
searching for."--Buzzfeed "I just loved it."--Felicia Day "Legends
& Lattes is a big-hearted story about the small things in life. A
lovingly written ode to the genre, it is a must-read for every
D&D player who has ever wondered what happens after 'happily
ever after.'"--Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author "A
gentle little cozy set against an epic fantasy backdrop. . . . This
charming outing will please anyone who's ever wished to spend time
in a fantasy world without all the quests and battles."--Publishers
Weekly "Legends & Lattes is a uniquely beautiful book. Its cast of
endearing characters have no interest at all in killing one
another. There is no Great Evil, no bloody battles, and yet the
pillars of great fantasy--resilience, fellowship, and a desire to
make the world a better place--are all here. It's wonderfully
wholesome, and I hope heralds the rise of a 'slice-of-life'
sub-genre in modern fantasy."--Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of
the Wyld
"The most fun I've ever had in a coffee shop."--Ben Aaronovitch,
bestselling author of Rivers of London "I absolutely loved this
book. It's a heartwarming story of how effort, intention and coffee
can work together to change the world for the better. Fills my
hunger for happy endings."--Genevieve Cogman, author of The
Invisible Library "An orc retires from adventuring to start a
fantasy city's very first coffee shop. This setup combined with the
positive messages of defying societal stereotypes, letting go of
violence to build peace, and trusting in your friends feels like a
premise from Terry Pratchett's Discworld. . . . Legends & Lattes is
a novel, and shop, that will delight anyone who enjoys coffee-shop
alternate universes, slow-burn romances, and the vindication of
friendship."--Booklist, starred review "The definition of a cozy
fantasy comfort read. . . . It was lovely."--Olivia Atwater, author
of Half a Soul "Take a break from epic battles and saving the
world. Legends & Lattes is a low-stakes fantasy that delivers
exactly what's advertised: a wholesome, cozy novel that feels like
a warm hug. This is my new comfort read."--Genevieve Gornichec,
author of The Witch's Heart "Baldree's book is beautiful and
uplifting, a soothing tonic in our troubled times. Escape into its
pages and you won't ever want to leave."--T. L. Huchu, author of
The Library of the Dead "A love letter to queer D&D
players."--Autostraddle "Those looking for a more peaceful story
set in a world reminiscent of the fantasy landscapes they love will
adore Legends & Lattes--and keep an eye out for Baldree's next
charming tale."--BookPage "This is a warm hug of a book, a place to
retreat from the world for a little while, drink a coffee, and come
out a little better."--T. Kingfisher, USA Today bestselling author
of Nettle & Bone "If you like fantasy but you're tired of reading
about wars and general intensity, this is the book for you. . . .
Cozy fantasy at its best."--Literary Hub
