3. Heliotrope, Palmer Pickering. I met and spoke with Palmer after her excellently moderated panel. She gave me a copy of her epic sword and sorcery fantasy to review and introduced me to many others in the community. My gratitude cannot be overstated. Thank you @palmerpickering.bsky.social !

Dark Town review:
"Author Palmer Pickering has a clear enthusiasm for the fantasy RPG world that comes through in the warmth and energy of the narrative. Dark Town is a highly recommended read for fans of the LitRPG genre and is an exemplary work of how it should be done."

Day 7 - "Blood Fire" by @palmerpickering.bsky.social
For such a short story, it really packed a punch! I was able to know so much about the MC and the world (and wanted more) in so few words. The ending was so satisfying in so many ways.
