Want to read my Dungeon World series, but don't want to but 5 different books?  Then I have the solution for you: the Dungeon World Complete Series Box Set is now available for pre-order!  Releasing on September 3rd, 2020, this box set contains all 5 Dungeon World books, as well as some scans of my hand-drawn (poorly, because I'm a writer, not an artist :) ) maps and a bonus short story at the end.  
There will be a large paperback that will encompass all 5 books as well, which should be available soon!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F2TQHY1
Over 560,000 words all in one volume!  That's a lot of Dungeon Core and LitRPG/GameLit goodness!


The entire best-selling Dungeon World series is now together in one volume!

This Dungeon World Series Box Set includes:

Dungeon World Books 1 – 5
Hand-drawn maps I used while writing the series
Bonus short story

In a world five times larger than Earth, dungeons and their Dungeon Cores have become the top of the food chain.

Millions of dungeons inhabit the planet, utilizing the Human people as a source of much-needed Mana to facilitate their own growth; in turn, the humans delve into the dungeons to acquire their own power in the form of Essence, which allows them to develop and enhance themselves in a multitude of different ways. It is a symbiotic relationship that has lasted thousands of years and has brought about a measure of peace.

Far in the northern wilds where no Humans (and therefore – no dungeons) regularly frequent, a young man is left alone when his parents are suddenly murdered. Now, without friends, family, supplies, or even much knowledge of the wider world, Fredwynklemossering embarks on a journey to discover who – or what – killed his parents. Along the way, however, he learns more than he bargained for, including his seemingly impossible status as a Dungeon Core/Human hybrid. With that knowledge comes a shift in his objective; revenge against those who wronged him turns out to pale in comparison to the dangers the Humans will face in the future.

Will Fred be able to successfully straddle the line between the Human and Dungeon Core worlds? Unfortunately, he’ll have to, or else the entire Dungeon World may be doomed…

Contains 564,000 words, LitRPG/GameLit elements such as statistics and leveling, as well as dungeon construction and defense. No harems and no profanity.

There are usually two types of luck, but only one seems to visit a certain Dungeon Core…

Being in charge of her own dungeon instead of just being an Assistant to a Dungeon Core was a unique experience for Tacca GloomLily, especially after her “bad luck” resulted in her soul being sucked into a Core.  Thankfully, she persevered through the strange experience and created a dungeon that she knew Raiders would say was suitable for “beginners”, otherwise known as brand-new Raider Clan recruits.  After opening up her dungeon to the world, her entrance was finally located by two local Hill Dwarf farmers, who barely managed to survive their exploratory delve only through Tacca’s intervening actions.  With them safely away and able to tell everyone about her dungeon’s presence, she now has to prepare for the flood of Raiders that she hopes will soon appear.   

Along with Shale IronSchist, her own Dungeon Assistant, Tacca has to develop a way to maximize the few Core Improvement Points she is planning on receiving from the Raider’s presence in her dungeon, as well as what she gains from their deaths.  Not only that, but she needs to start thinking towards the future; along with restocking and maintaining her original dungeon, she has to expand into a new section that can adapt to Raiders that grow too powerful to benefit from what she currently has to offer.

But not all is as calm outside of her dungeon as it seems.  Locally, the two Hill Dwarves that first found her dungeon set up their village to accommodate the influx of new people; however, Raiders from the Clan aren’t the only ones to arrive: Merchants come looking to send their own people to the dungeon, bringing their own problems and dangers with them.  Globally, Dungeon Cores that shouldn’t be destroyed are ending up shattered, and no one can seem to figure out why.

And just her luck, Tacca seems to be in the middle of it all…

This story contains Dungeon Core elements such as dungeon construction and defense, LitRPG/GameLit mechanics such as character progression and stats, and contains NO harems/sexual content or profanity.

The Dungeon Fairy: Two Choices has been written!

Over the last weekend I finished writing book 2 of my Hapless Dungeon Fairy series, The Dungeon Fairy: Two Choices!  It's with beta-readers right now and then it'll be off to the editor at the end of this week.  I'm hoping for an early August release after everything is done.

Uniworld Online Trilogy 2nd Editions

I have just released the 2nd Editions for my Uniworld Online Trilogy!  Originally published in 2018, I have had the entire series re-edited for errors and grammar, as well as some content changes to make the entire series a bit more reader-friendly. 
Books included in the 2nd Edition:
The Song Maiden https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CV6MRWXThe Song Mistress https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GVTP6FPThe Song Matron https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L8K14SGUniworld Online Trilogy Box Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RXLM4TM
Along with edited grammar and content, I have also updated all of the covers.  The audiobook for The Song Maiden is also being redone by Anneliese Rennie, who will narrate the rest of the books in the series as well.    
I hope you enjoy the story of Cadence the Dwarven Bard and her friends in Uniworld Online!
_________________________________________________

The skills of a talented and determined Bard are not to be trifled with…

Cadence was born with a previously unknown disability that prevented her from being able to communicate verbally or through the use of sign language, though it didn’t prevent her from using the written word.  Regardless of the challenges she faced through her short life, she persevered and started her first year at college, rooming with her best friend Jill.

However, a brutal attack that left her near death caused her to be without a way to easily relay information about her attackers.  With no other options available to communicate with others – and with boredom as a result of being confined to a hospital bed having a detrimental effect on her health – Jill came up with a way for her best friend to play a game. 

Not just any game, however; Uniworld Online was the newest offering from Unitech, a company that designed a new method of fully immersing oneself into a game using a special technology called and NVERS.  Set in a fantasy setting with opposing Light and Dark Factions, the immersive virtual reality game is unlike any other the world has ever seen.  Having never played a video game before, though, Cadence is subjected to completely unfamiliar territory.  Unlike every other player inside Uniworld, she isn’t playing the game to kill monsters and get stronger; instead, she wants to help the citizens of the world (which the other players call NPCs), because that gives her a sense of purpose while her body heals back in the real world.

The best thing about Uniworld, however, was that it provided her with something she had never had before: a voice.  And with that voice, she has an opportunity to bring justice to her attackers – and maybe even change the landscape of Uniworld in the process.

Contains LitRPG elements such as character progression, quests, skills, stats, and stat sheets.  No harems or foul language.

A time of great darkness is approaching, but will Sandra and her dungeon survive?
After being responsible for destroying multiple Dungeon Cores, the consequences of which she has yet to see but knows will be coming, Sandra and her friends must obtain help from the leadership of the nearby lands.  The problem will soon become bigger than she can contain, and only by them all working together will everyone survive the dangers represented by the nearby dungeons.
On top of that, Sandra also has to develop a plan to combat the ever-expanding territories of the local dungeons and protect the people still living in her Area of Influence.  It is a difficult and complicated problem to solve, but with the aid of some new friends she begins to get a handle on the situation.
Unknown to Sandra and everyone else, however, someone wronged by the craft-loving Dungeon Core has designs of their own that will throw the wastelands into chaos.  Those dangers, coupled with some personal issues of Sandra’s own, could usher in a period of darkness that the world hasn’t seen in centuries…
This Dungeon Core story contains LitRPG/GameLit elements such as statistics and leveling and a heavy crafting emphasis.  No profanity and no harems.

Get ready for the exciting conclusion to the Dungeon World series!
With the help of an unlikely ally, Fred has secretly obtained access to all seven elements for his Core without the Supreme Council of Dungeon Cores’ knowledge; Fire, Water, Nature, Earth, Dark, Light, and Air are now technically at his disposal.  However, despite having access to them all, he finds himself behind enemy lines without the use of any but Light and Air due to his temporary Core he had created back in his dungeon.  Now, with the assistance of Roady, Ravenne, and Agelstein – three members of the Allroads Government, and Fred’s “bodyguards” – he has to safely make it back to the city before the inevitable deadly response from the local Dungeon Cores at his theft of the Light element kills him.
Trouble is brewing behind the scenes, though, and the Supreme Council is ready to step up their attacks on Fred’s dungeon underneath the city of Allroads.  With additional complications preventing Fred from fully utilizing his newly acquired elements, he has to scramble to find a way to not be useless and assist in the defense of his dungeon, his Shards, and all the people in the city above relying on him.
Oh, and on top of that, Fred still needs to figure out a way to save the world…

Contains LitRPG/GameLit elements such as statistics and leveling.  No harems and no profanity.
