Alexa must you tempt me so.... my Alexa keeps asking me to rate my own book (I buy the eBook to check everything out after I publish). I know Amazon does not want me to rate my own book but it has been asking repeatedly and I'm afraid to say anything until it stops listening.

1/2 Hey all, found a new LitRPG on RR I am enjoying, updates are regular, unique regression story, fun ideas. It's got the potential to be a really good story based on what's there so far. More story details in the next post. www.royalroad.com/fiction/1308...
Another Chance
Would you go back in time to change the past with no memories? Ridiculous right.

I had an interview with Markee Books (with whom I'm working on cover redos) a while ago, which was posted two weeks ago. I'm cheesy as heck in it, but it was fun. It is strange to see me all happy about beating cancer. This was right before I learned it was back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkdQ...

One of my friends has released book five of her Shieldwall Academy series. Even better, you can grab Book One for free and Books Two to Four for just 99 cents each. It's LitRPG with great characters and a well-plotted arc. Plus, she's an awesome person. www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBMSL5HN

Hey all, I'm slowly updating all my socials. I learned a little over a week ago that my kidney cancer has returned. It's impacted my writing and online time as I deal with the medical and emotional part of that. Posting may be slow but I'm going to keep writing so Rebuild the World will keep going.

I hope everyone got some good books in the Massive #litrpg and #progression sale this last weekend. I was going to post more, but had a bit of a medical issue come up and was not online much. I appreciate everyone who checked out my books in the sale this year. I also grabbed a lot for myself.

And done. First draft of short story for an anthology is finished at 13,718 words. It's a side story to my At the End of the World series with a fun dungeon clear and that fun, fast leveling at the start of the System arriving on Earth. Now the editing starts. #shortstory #litrpg #postapocalyptic

I had my best day ever at my weekly book signing at the local game store. 14 signed paperbacks and 1 eBook. Talked to a bunch of cool people (hi if you see this). I love the chance to discuss my books and writing. If you are in #ketchikan this weekend, I'll be at the Blueberry Festival. Come say hi.

Hey all, I've found a new story on RR that I've been reading while working on the book launch (check my pinned post). This story is enjoyable, with a slightly slow start, but it picks up and keeps me hooked. If you like an OP skill story, check it out. www.royalroad.com/fiction/1228...

I'm so excited! I redid my shower surround. Between the work, the wall panels' adhesive drying, and then the caulk drying, it's been three days of sponge baths. It is now time for a real shower! (the work was also a good distraction from checking Amazon reports on the new release too often)
