New Paperbacks!
It turns out that people like looking at the back cover to read what the story is about... who would've thought... lol. It only took me talking to people in person to find out that most turned the book over to get a sense of what they were about to read... yay for market research!

Thanks @torontogameexpo it was a fun weekend and I hope to be back in the spring :). I am happy to have had a chance to sell some books/comics and most of all, talk about some stuff I love :). I got to introduce LitRPG to a ton of people, and I think that's a win overall :)

Happy Friday!
With the Reaper's Madness (System Orphans: Claire, Book 3) draft completed(finally), I can now say I've written 10 books and 1 million words, woohoo! This is peanuts, sadly, in the context of LitRPG, but without that specific context, that's pretty cool!

What are some good book fairs and cons in the Toronto/GTA area for books, comics, and the like? I've been to a couple of events now and I have a lot of fun talking to people about my books, self-publishing, etc.
So yeah, where would be good to check out?

Editor contacted for System Orphans: Claire Book 3 - Reaper's Madness :o. I still have finishing to do (~3 more chapters and a bunch of edits/revisions), but I'm almost finished... the pre-professional editing draft haha! Exciting, but still a ways to go.

I recently enjoyed Soul of the Warrior and A Soldier's Life, two wonderful reads. Other J.J. (Ack) recommended their story 'All I got is this stat menu' and I enjoyed what I read of that series too :).
Here are mine to throw into the pot of potential: The Weight Of It All and System Orphans: Claire

The Weight Of It All and System Orphans: Claire ebooks are now available in libraries, which I think is pretty cool. Mostly because it'll be fun to introduce the stories to a new cohort of people, those who are fans of LitRPG and those who aren't... yet.
