Hi ... I'm a new author of Portal to Disaster, the first book in the new interactive Compass Raiders series. I had the true pleasure of linking with Ray Montgomery a couple of years ago when I started my project. Would appreciate networking with others interested in contributing to this genre.

Hi Jeffrey,I published the Follow Your Fates series (more than) a few years back. Here's the website if you want to check it out: http://followyourfates.weebly.com. Where can we find mire info about your books?
Ed DeHoratius
Hi Ed thx! I will definitely check yours out. Most everything of mine including my blog, amazon page and social media links can be accessed via my site at compassraiders.com
Ed just watched your video and peeked at your amazon page. Really cool stuff. Are you still writing?
Thanks. The easy answer is, yes, I'm still writing. The more complicated answer is very slowly and without much progress.... I've not published anything of note in a few years and that likely won't change for a few years (because of the slow progress). How about you?
Working on Compass Raiders book 2 outline now. Need to see how first one does. Any support is greatly appreciated.
Nice to see authors working on gamebook projects! Interactive Fiction has so much potential and I am glad to see that potential being utilized.
Randy thanks... Please do check out my blog at compassraiders.com ... Gives a little background on the project.
I spent a few minutes looking through your site (www.compassraiders.com) and will certainly explore it (and your first book) more thoroughly when my own development schedule lets up a bit.
Randy thanks so much. I welcome your objective feedback!
The compassraiders.com site is no longer up, otherwise I would of checked it out. I did however check out Ed's stuff and enjoyed the sample you offer on your page. I'm just in the prep stages of writing my first CYOA book and series, which will be based in a world of my own creation that I've spent awhile worldbuilding on. Not much activity here, but nice to see and hear of other CYOA genre writers.
Hi Jon, what's the premise behind your book? I recently signed a publishing contract for my CYOA novel The Friar's Lantern: http://www.greghickeywrites.com/thefr...
The premise of my series is all adventures take place in my fantasy world called Argobathe. There are multiple mainlands and races, but the reader will always be human. As your first choice in the book you must decide to read as a male or female, also each book will focus on the journey of a particular character class. In this first book it will be The Warrior. I've not seen another CYOA using gender like this, but it should be interesting as the characters in the story will sometimes respond to you differently and offer didn't choices. I plan to initially write 8 books, and then continue with additional books into each of the character classes to progress the stories. I'll give the link a check.. thanks.
That sounds really cool. I especially like that it sounds like you get to create your character almost from scratch. Please keep me posted.
