Dungeon World 4 now available!
Dungeon World 4, the newest book in my Dungeon World series, is now available!
Find it here! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081VRH7WL
___________________
In search for the townspeople of Gatecross and his Core Power Guild, Fred and his friends wind up in the city of Allroads – where they find more than they bargained for. After successfully breaking them all out of prison using his special abilities and creating a small dungeon underneath the city, his activity unfortunately gained the attention of the elemental Dungeon Core factions surrounding the large valley where the city was located.
That’s because the city of Allroads was occupying the middle of what the Cores called a Convergence, an area of intense elemental concentration that produced an extraordinary amount of ambient Mana; those Convergences are protected and off-limits for any dungeons to possess, which was one of the reasons Fred gained the ire of the nearby Cores.
Or, it could be because he destroyed three of their own…
Regardless of the reason, Allroads is under siege, and Fred has to help defend the city from all seven of the elemental factions pressing against his territory border, prepare for potential invaders to his dungeon with the help of his Shards, and potentially figure out a way to save both species (Humans and Dungeon Cores) from extinction.
And he has to do all of that while convincing the Allroads Council not to execute him for bringing all of this trouble to their literal doorstep…
Contains LitRPG/GameLit elements such as statistics and leveling. No harems and no profanity.

Dungeon World 4 has been written!
Over the weekend, I finished up the initial writing of Dungeon World 4! I'm hoping to have it out in a couple of weeks once all my beta-readers and editing are all finished up!
October 28, 2019
New audiobooks available today!
The Guardian Guild (book 3 in my Station Cores series) and Core of Fear (book 1 in my Spirit Core series) both came out today on audiobook! I didn't really plan it that way, but there it is :) The Guardian Guild on audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B07ZPD728H Just like the first two books in the series, the footnotes are separated into different chapters so that you can skip them if you like, and there is a PDF available in your audible library (through the PC only, I believe) that has all of the tables available to peruse at your leisure. Miles Meili did an awesome job narrating this third installment, and the fourth is already being recorded! I'm hoping for it to be available by the end of November.Core of Fear on audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B07ZPD1DJS While Children of Fear just came out on eBook, the first book in my Spirit Cores series is the origin of Clive Logan, reincarnated serial killer. He is tasked with killing the residents of a house using their own fear against them, and it is a spooky tale designed to explain why spirits do what they do. Warning: this is a tale about a serial killer, who does what serial killers do -- so it's not for the faint of heart...

Children of Fear now available!
With just a week to go before Halloween, Children of Fear is now available! If you like a bit of paranormal horror along with your LitRPG and Dungeon Core stories, then my Spirit Core series is perfect for you! It involves a serial killer reincarnated as a Spirit Core and tasked with killing the residents of a house using their own fear against them.
In addition, Core of Fear -- Book 1 in the series -- is on sale today through the 30th for $0.99! The audiobook should also be available very soon!
_________
After successfully completing his objective inside the house in South Carolina, the transformed soul of serial killer Clive Logan was randomly transported to another location as his reward. Something about the new house he found himself in was quite different, however; whereas the Spirit Core had previously “haunted” a house filled with only adult targets, two children that apparently lived in the new location – a young boy and a slightly older girl – were thrown into the mix.
As an emotionally absent serial killer, he didn’t care that they were children – he would kill them if that was his objective. Fortunately for them, Clive soon learned that instead of killing the two young kids, he needed to leave them alone because their innocent souls were essentially off-limits. At the same time, the FEAR-based attacks that had worked so well for the Spirit Core in South Carolina were practically useless against the parental protective instincts the two adults in the house possessed. This made them more fearful for their children than they were for themselves, negating the majority of the FEAR he would normally generate.
Luckily, there was a solution for that. While harming or killing the children was forbidden, recruiting them to Clive’s side was not only allowed, but encouraged; if the attacks on their parents came from them instead of the Spirit Core, none of their protective instincts would kick in. A simple solution – but working alongside children was never something he had prior experience with, nor did he count himself as much of a team player.
To succeed in his new objective, however, serial killer Clive Logan was going to have to rely on a couple of kids who liked dinosaurs, cars, and unicorns…
Warning: No children are physically hurt in this book, though the ones integral to the story are affected in other (mental and emotional) ways. This is also the tale of a serial killer doing what serial killers do, so if you are opposed to either of these warnings, turn back now…
