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

Beautiful day here in #Ketchikan and I had to snap a picture before I headed into Safeway to get some discount chicken.

The hardcopies have made their way to Alaska at last. Send me a message if you'd like to buy signed copies of the Hardcover or Paperback of Rebuild the World: Alaska (or my other books). #gamelit #litrpg #signedbooks

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

It would be cool to meet you in person, and it was a lot of fun. I did snag one of the cool bookmarks with your name though.

No writing today, but got all the lower (shown) and upper cabinets put together for install this week. So excited to go from 2.5 feet of counter space to 5 feet. Also, 6 drawers instead of one! #homeimprovement
