A. Trae McMaken writes across a mix of fiction and non-fiction, with 15 books published between 2012 and 2025. The earliest works are non-fiction titles like Rosin for Breath (2012) and The Puttygut (2018), but the fiction side of the catalog has grown quickly in recent years, with most of the output concentrated from 2022 onward.
The Dwarves of Ice-Cloak series is the largest, with six books released between 2022 and 2024. Titles like The Crippled King, The Mouth of Fire, and Bones of Stone suggest a fantasy setting with a dwarven civilization at its center. The newer Findel’s Embrace series kicked off in 2025 with three entries so far, while the After Adventures duology adds a couple of shorter companion-style stories to the mix.
McMaken’s writing pace has been notably fast in recent years. Nearly all of the fiction catalog appeared within a three-year span, which means readers getting into the Dwarves of Ice-Cloak or Findel’s Embrace series will find a solid backlog already waiting. The blend of non-fiction roots with a later pivot to fantasy fiction makes this an unusual bibliography.
