Happy New Year!

First off, thank you to each and every one of you who has supported me this year. Whether it be via Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, Audible, Patreon, or hanging out in the Secret Society, I honestly wouldn’t be able to have this amazing career without you all.

I’m happy to say that 2021 is behind us. It had its moments, some good and some bad, but overall, it ended on a positive note. After having another surgery in February, I only managed to write 2 books this year, but I wrapped up Pangea Online and put out the 4th installment of Sentenced to Troll, along with 3 audiobooks. I ordered amazing new covers and finally have hardcover versions of my books that rival anything you might find at your local bookstore.

I aim to be much more productive in 2022, and I’ve set things in place to make that happen. Really, it’s all about keeping my butt in the chair and getting the words out. Distraction is my biggest hindrance, but I’m ready to take my career to a new level and the only way to do that is to put in the work. After Sentenced to Troll 5, I’m going to try my hand at a couple of new series that have been sitting in the back of my mind. But I am committing to at least one Troll book per year, more if they really take off. It really comes down if I’m able to continue funneling new readers into the series. So every time you share my works with your friends or post in a group, it goes a long way in making that happen. There’s no better promotion than word of mouth.

I’m super excited about these new books, and I can’t wait to start sharing them as well. It’ll be fun to jump into some new worlds again.

Thanks for being awesome!

20Books Vegas Convention

Earlier this month, I went to the 20books Vegas publishing convention. I went to learn more about the business side of writing, as well as to meet some amazing authors and talk about craft. It was a great experience. Exhausting, but great. On the last day, some authors set up shop, so I took the opportunity to add to my signed book collection. In order of appearance, here are the books I picked up:

Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

Shadowcroft and Rogue Dungeon by James Hunter

Black Dawn by Nathan Ameye

A Thousand Li by Tao Wong

Lotus Lake by Jay Boyce

Dungeon World by Jonathan Brooks

Overall, it was a great experience and I can’t wait to go back next year.

Pangea Online: The Complete Trilogy is available on Audible

Pick it up for only 1 credit.

Everything has a price. Pangea Online is no different.

Since leaving the orphanage, Esil has spent the past year toiling in the data mines of Pangea while watching the wealthy elite traverse its myriad of game worlds. His luck changes forever when he discovers a legendary Developer’s Chest. The Premium Worldpass inside grants him unlimited access to all of Pangea.

Now, Esil isn’t just stuck watching as others explore Pangea. He can finally level up.

With his newfound fortune, he enters a tournament to compete against some of the most skilled adventurers Pangea has to offer. He’s a long shot to win but for the first time in his life, being a kid from the slums has its advantages when he discovers a bug in the obscure data-mining class.

With an even playing field, he might just have a shot.

But his in-game actions have real-world consequences and failure online threatens everything he holds dear.

Pick up the complete litrpg trilogy in one epic omnibus edition!

The Pangea Online omnibus edition contains:

Pangea Online: Death and Axes
Pangea Online 2: Magic and Mayhem
Pangea Online 3: Vials and Tribulations

Pangea Online: Death and Axes has a new cover

A lot has changed since I first release Pangea Online in 2017. Cover in the genre are more dynamic and exciting than ever, so I figured it was time for an update. Here’s the new cover for Death and Axes. The rest of the series will be receiving updated covers in the coming weeks and months.
