That’s right, I’m back with a vengeance! I’ll be signing copies of my two Omnibi – Legion Rising & Shattered Crown – At Page After Page Books at the Maryland Renaissance Festival this Sunday, August 31st, 2025. Tickets to the Renfest are on sale now, so now is the time to grab them so you can come see me and support my endeavors! Buy your set of the my novels (or my D&D Adventure) at the fair and get them signed for free! I’ll be there 11am to 5pm. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Join Author Daniel Ottalini for a talk on Alternate History at the Worldbuilding EXPO tomorrow at 5:15 PM PST (8:15 EST)
Have you ever wondered how to build up your worldbuilding? Want to know how it connects to Alternate History and the worlds of potential futures & pasts? Sign up for my free talk tomorrow night at the Worldbuilding EXPO (8:15 PM, EST, or 5:15 PM PST).
I’ll be in the No Stress Writing Academy booth run by my awesome friend (and editor / publisher at Heart Ally Books, the awesome people behind Antioch Burns). Here’s the schedule tomorrow. All times are PST.
March 12:
You’ll have to register (it’s free!) and registering once gets you into a variety of free talks, seminars, and booths. Listen to engaging speakers, check out some wares, perhaps learn a thing or two about writing, worldbuilding, and beyond!
Besides that, I’ll have a huge announcement that I’ve been waiting to share with all of you! Once again, click here to register (change the day to March 12th), click into it and you’re in!
Exciting news everyone! I’ll be returning to the Maryland Renaissance Festival this fall. You’ll be able to get my alternate history steampunk series, as well as an exciting new TTRPG offering from things previously available only online. You won’t be able to get these anywhere else, so be sure to pick them up. I’ll have more details to come in the near future, but for now, be sure to book October 1st in your calendar to come and visit me to get your books signed! Of course, if you prefer to go any other weekend (and let’s be honest, if you’re like me, you want to go several weekends) you can always go and grab my book from then before or after that weekend as well!
Tickets go on sale in August, so be ready to grab them! You can get multi day passes now.
Hi everyone,
It’s been a busy time here in the Ottalini household, but I’m excited for things to settle down a bit with the school year starting, and even more pleased to announce my return to the Maryland Renaissance Festival this October 2nd, 2022! Thanks to the kind generosity of Page after Page, the preeminent (and only!) Bookstore at the festival, I’ll be signing copies of my novels and anthology, which you can pick up there in person!
Also feel free to chat with me about all the great Dungeons and Dragons modules I’ve been putting out this last year.
See me last year in my author get-up. I’ll hopefully have a few additional pieces of gear to wear this year! Make your reservations to visit the faire here, and come out and support me and my books (and have a cracking good time at one of the best events in the Mid Atlantic!)
If you can’t wait to get your copies, you can always order them in advance here!
“Twas a year like no other…”

A Recap of my awesome book signing event at the Maryland Renaissance Festival!
“Do you like Roman history? Or Alternate history? How about steamships? If you do, this is the book for you!”
I lost track of how often I said that Saturday at the Maryland Renaissance Festival in Crownsville, Maryland. But I’m excited to share how it went!
Come get your books signed at the Maryland Renaissance Festival on September 14th with me!
Hi Everyone! Just a reminder that I’ll have my first ever book signing at Page After Page – the bookstore at the Maryland Renaissance festival – on Saturday, September 14th, 2019. 
If you’re in the Delmarva Area and want your book signed (or want to buy a book there and get it signed) I’ll be around from 11-5. It’s a great time to get the new paperback edition of Laurel Emperor. Come and grab your copy (Or bring yours to get it signed). I may even have some treats for those awesome enough to visit me!
Ciao!
I’m excited to share big news! I’ve been able to secure my first ever book signing at Page After Page – the bookstore at the Maryland Renaissance festival – on Saturday September 14th, 2019.
After reaching out to the owners (Thanks to my friend Karla and fiancee Sabrina for making it happen!), I was fortunate to be offered the chance to sign some of my books! So if you’re in the Delmarva Area and want your book signed (or want to buy a book there and get it signed) I’ll be around from 11-5 (give or take however long it takes me to go get a giant turkey leg to nibble upon.).
I’ll also be excited to reveal the new paperback edition of Laurel Emperor, which will hopefully go on sale the same day! Talk about big news!
