Honey, I've Leveled the Kids paperback is finally live! On the back is a bit of my kid's art too! They wanted to support and help me out, so I had to sneak it on. This book is for people who like games, kids, inner demons, slice-of-life, beating up baddies, and litrpg fun. Recommended age: Adult.

At 14k of the next novel. I've been hiking and thinking a lot of branches and what a good size is. Also how much magic is required to carry a thick two handed one.

Persona 6 just announced. This means I need to finish my next WIP and Thedre 3 before so I can play that game for 200 hours straight.

There are days I make more progress on the monstrous laundry pile than my writing. BUT NOT TODAY!

A few of my friends released books recently, and I can't get over how darn good they look. DEATH SHOW COLOSSUS by @williamjadams3.bsky.social is a fantasy/cyberpunk standalone about a deadly gameshow. CROWNFALL by @michaelvadney.bsky.social is a standalone noble dark fantasy + political intrigue.

Got my yearly guide to using as much Gamelit/Progression Fantasy/LitRPG as possible to complete this year's r/Fantasy reading bingo card! Might do some more guides for indie works in general or YA, but I know I'm weak on more recent YA books.

The Sunset Sovereign: A Dragon's Memoir is now available on Kindle Unlimited. If you are looking for a non human lead (aka dragon), standalone, and wholesome, check out the book!

Happy Asexual Awareness Day!! If you want to be aware of aces today, hello, I'm ace! I'm a specific and rare kind of ace who is only ace toward real people, but likes fictional characters! If you want to support me, consider buying MoKaM featuring an ace MC in a pure fantasy world mybook.to/OirI

Kind of excited to watch the Artemis II launch (hopefully tonight)! Launching the first lunar mission in 50 years on April Fools Day will probably seem fake to a lot of people, but despite not hearing about this before today, I am pretty sure it is legitimate. :D

It's April - and there's a new list of indie SF/F/H books coming your way this month! You can view the full list here: ajcalvin.net/the-indie-au... #booksky #indiebooks #indieapril

Check out the cover of Erin Ampersand’s TIME TO PLAY 💥🐢 The start of a rollicking LitRPG series that Matt Dinniman calls “pure gold” in which everyone on Earth is forced to take part in a worldwide survival competition—everyone, including Meghan Moretti and her three kids. Out August 18, 2026!

Yup, I need this paperback. I look forward to rereading Time to Play.

It's the end of the month and Honey, I've Leveled the Kids is just a 2 orders away from breaking my best month ever- and it did it in 11 days. Yay Litrpg. Thank you for your support on this book. I get all giddy when I see even 30 KENP reads. 400? I half wonder if Kindle Unlimited glitched.

I am excited to share that the entire Apocalypse Parenting series has been picked up by Tor Books for publication. You’ll be able to find the paperback for Book 1 in physical bookstores on August 18 of this year, simultaneous to the eBook release of Book 5! (Bought myself a sweet hat to celebrate!)

Friends, we have a special cover reveal today! The Rill Lord by @triempery.bsky.social, the sixth and final book in her epic fantasy series, The Triempery Revelations! Check out that beautiful cover!

Thank you everyone for the launch success of the story. I took a few days off to play Timberwood and work on outlining, but now its time to dive back into writing.

The e-book is now live! - A quest for legendary power - fighting monsters and gods - family bonding - leveling up in game and at home (milestones!) - animals - character driven (hey, parents aren't perfect) - litrpg lite if you are just dipping your toes #litrpg #kindleunlimited #books

I am ready for readers to have this adventure.

My challenges of writing Honey, I've Leveled the Kids? Keeping up with the surprises kids cause. They always keep life exciting, like saying a pet fish would be fun to have in a video game.

It was a good thing I uploaded my document early Thursday to Amazon. If I hadn't, all these power outages would've been in my way to have the book done on time. Yay for being responsible for once. I hope everyone without power are doing okay.

I was tempted to add "sleep" in the If You Enjoy column. But I don't want people to believe they will fall asleep during my book, its not ASMR. I wish I wrote a book that helped people sleep, but editing would be a snore. #litrpg #wroteabook

Its odd being almost done with formatting this ebook book with a few days ago. I'm not rushing, I planned something ahead of time. Is this called being an adult?

ARCs sent out (ping me if you want one), pre-order is set up, all that is left is marketing and checking the document for the 19th time for typos. Writing and publishing have their own checklists like a Honey-Do list, and the steps in completing a quest. My reward - sleep and cookies. #litrpg

I'm looking for ARC readers!! Book title: Honey, I've Leveled the Kids If you just finished Dungeon Crawler Carl, or Apocalypse Parenting, and want to get more #LitRPG stories that are character driven, fill out the form! (more below)

I am powering through edits on my LitRPG and hope to have the preorder link up next week... or the week after. Let's see what I can get done. I plan on releasing a free short story of 20k words to build up the hype too, so keep an eye out for that.

This was a great year for indie books and traditional ones. I need to read Empire of the Vampire still, especially after what the group keeps saying about it.

Thank you for this pick me up and for this wonderful review. I'm always happy when people connect to the history part of this story. It's so important to know the truth, both the good and bad.
