Victor 11.31 - Invitations

I'm back! Yay! Thanks for your patience, everyone. :) LitRPG Con was really cool - definitely recommend. The level of entertainment and the amazing panels that some of the big names in the genre put on were well worth the price of admission, I think. Anyway, yeah, I'm planning on attending again next year.

Enjoy the chapter!

Plum's Going to be Absent Notice

Hey all! Sorry for the last-minute notice. I know I told you all I'd be going to LitRPG Con this weekend in Denver, but I don't think I made clear that I don't think I'll be able to keep up my writing during that time. So, if that wasn't obvious, I'm afraid that I'll be away from home from tomorrow through Monday, and new chapters are unlikely.

I'm very sorry for that, but, in my defense,...

Vainglory Book 1 Launch Day!

Hi everyone! Today is the day when Vainglory goes live on Audible and Kindle Unlimited. I know a bunch of you have read the story here on Patreon, but I think there might be quite a few of you who haven't given it a try yet. Now's the perfect time - you can see if you like it and help me with that pesky Amazon algorithm at the same time! :)

When Andy reached the top of the trail, he was met with a large crowd of residents, most of them holding makeshift weapons. In a way, he felt good seeing them there; they looked ready to fight. On the other hand, he was leadin...

Victor of Tucson #8, Sojourner, is now live on Audible and Kindle

Hey all! I know most of you who are into this series have already read this (a while ago), but if you're also reading the KU version or listening to the Audible, now's your chance! :)

Also, don't forget that if you've read it in any shape or form, it's certainly ethical to leave me a review over on Amazon (nudge, nudge.)

I appreciate you folks! :)
