None of us knew what to expect from the first ever LitRPG Con. I know the people involved in putting it on were straight hustling to get everything ready in time, and there was a lot of last-minute changes and uncertainty. Panel information became available about two weeks before the convention. Talking with other authors […]
Last weekend, I had the tremendous privilege of attending the first-ever LitRPG Con in Denver, Colorado. Today, Tuesday, I released my fourth book: Engineer’s Odyssey, a standalone side story in the Apocalypse Parenting universe, where the main character starts the apocalypse trapped in the Denver International Airport. For those who are paying attention, this means […]
I enjoyed doing mini-reviews for all the LitRPG and Progression series I started reading last year, so I’m doing the same thing this year! This list includes only series that I started reading in 2023. So yes, of course I read the next Dungeon Crawler Carl and kept reading a lot of series I mentioned last […]
I really love arts and crafts. They relax me and help me unwind and occupy just enough of my brain to keep me interested when I’m mentally exhausted. I’ve started doing Bucilla-style felt Christmas ornaments for characters from litRPG and progression fantasy stories I love, and I’m starting a gallery here:

If you aren’t aware, every year, the massive r/Fantasy Reddit publishes a reading bingo sheet. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/1bt4iqf/official_rfantasy_2024_book_bingo_challenge/ If you complete the entire card (and turn it in during a form they post the following March) you get a “Reading Champion” flair in the subreddit. If you do this for multiple years, they’ll increment your title to “Reading Champion II”, […]
After doing mini-reviews for all the SPSFC3 contestants’ books I read, I felt like I was remiss to not be doing any for my own genre! This list includes only series that I started reading in 2023. So yes, of course I read the next Dungeon Crawler Carl and the conclusion of the Cradle series, […]
Click above to listen to a sample of the amazing performance by Laurie Catherine Winkel! She’s a talented narrator who’s recorded books for New York Times bestselling authors. If you regularly listen to LitRPG audiobooks, you may have heard her before as part of the Life Reset audiobook cast, alongside Jeff Hayes and Annie Ellicott. […]
A bit after the 2022 Self-Published Science Fiction Competition kicked off I made a post about five books from the competition I’d found good enough to finish. I’m back now with eight more! These aren’t selected from all the entrants. I was looking exclusively at books available on Kindle Unlimited and I only gave a book a […]
As a LitRPG author myself, I read a lot of work from the genre, and I think about it quite a bit too. One weakness of the genre is, sadly, women. It’s actually uncommon for women to be actively treated poorly by popular authors. Most authors – especially the successful ones – are nice people […]
