One of our own Wyvern Wizards, the illustrious Binyamin, (or Biny-bin bin-bin as I have taken to calling him) has been hard at work on his first novel during the game's downtime and has just published his exciting Alternate History/Steampunk extravaganza, "Sherpa Holmes." Set in the turn-of-the-century Wild West where steam technology is prevalent, it tells the tale of the industrious Shalik Chandela Holmes. A surgeon for the U.S. army, she is framed for murder, but with the help of her Navajo allies, she is intent on showing her accusers that they picked the wrong woman to mess with.
This gripping tale comes from the same creative and talented mind that brought you such gems as Oxbow, the Blue Moon/Flying Pigs, Beit Dag, Toys in the Attic, Hades, and so much more. If you enjoyed his insanely inventive contributions to Wyvern and you're interested in seeing what his unique mind can bring to the literary world, his book can be obtained through any of the following online retailers.

Well, that’s about it. Apologies if this sounded like an advertisement. I just thought some of you might like to know what Binyamin has been up to and support him in his latest endeavor. I, personally, think that he's a great talent and I can't wait to see what he comes up with next in the months and years ahead. In fact, he's currently hard at work on another short story collection and his second novel. So, if you're a Biny-fanatic like me, make sure you stay in touch with what he's up to by liking him on Facebook or following him on twitter and also be sure to leave a positive review of his work and check out his blog (see links below).

Binyamin has spent countless hours helping to make Wyvern fun for all of us, so it's the least we can do to give a little back by letting him know that the Wyvern community is behind him. Congratulations on your first novel Binaymin! Here's hoping there will be many more to come.
