Hello friends!

A letter waits for you on your desk as you wake this morning. Inside is a key, simple in design and gleaming in the early morning light. No note provides hints as to its origin. But your keen mind has no doubts, the scent of cinnamon clinging gently to the seal has given it away. It is a key to one of my vaults! Which means today we return to my hoard.

Today’s Treasure: WintersTales!

This treasure is a new addition to my hoard and one that has had me very excited. AJ Winters, architect of worlds, keeper of a thousand tales, and fellow hot chocolate enthusiast has united bards of every talent and heralds a new generation of storytellers. And has maybe destroyed a world or two. Don’t worry! She also helped rebuild them again.

AJ’s Frosties are some of the most creative, supportive, and accepting people I’ve had the pleasure to encounter. All traits shared by the Queen of Winter herself. The stories she tells are filled with sincere passion and excitement, and those plot twists still have me stunned. But what truly amazes me is how she manages to connect and support everyone. With open arms she invites and champions dozens (maybe even hundreds at this point) of creators to join her on stream. Her Frosties welcome them all emphatically, with the occasional reminder to hydrate. The engagement she has with her fans is also incredible. She laughs with, welcomes, and encourages everyone in chat. All who come with kindness and good intentions feel genuinely accepted by her and her community. And then torments us with spectacularly done cliff hangers.

Honestly, I aspire to achieve even a fraction of what she has. I want to craft stories with all of you.  I want to see you all succeed and embrace your passions and see you all building one another up. We can do it too. It will just take one step at a time, and before long we will be able to look back and see all we have achieved. Thank you all for being here.

Onwards to adventure!
