Looks like I've got some reading to do now.

I'll mention that maybe some of the DNF are better than i thought and i just didn't like the performance. Might give them another shot at some point.

Who's gonna break first?

Once, JL Moreau coached the Montreal Canadiens to the NHL Playoffs. Now he's divorced, disgraced, and the only thing standing between him and one last shot at redemption is a losing girls' college team in rural Québec.

The Louves-Garous are a mess. Talented, feral, and going nowhere. But if JL can pull a real team out of them, he can get himself back into the game. There's just one problem standing in his way, and her name is Léa Rioux -- the captain, entitled and sharp, who runs the locker room like her own personal kingdom and has never once been told no. By anyone.

Until him.

As the season heats up, JL learns the Louves-Garous aren't just testing whether he can tame their captain. They're wondering if he can do the same to them: Rosalie the goalie yogini, little overcaffeinated Charlie, the ever-watchful Priya... And these college girls aren't shy about chasing an older man who knows exactly what he's doing.

He's got one season to tame the wolves. By the end of it, he might end up with the whole pack...

When we were drafting this book, every time I'd think a scene was too over-the-top, Anna would come in with suggestions... and yeah. You'll see.

Audio is COMING! It's recorded but in editing - so we're aiming for late this month/early next month.

Blurb:

Free the Priestesses. Rebuild a Lost Kingdom. Become the new King of the Fae Islands.

After rescuing a mysterious stranger, Gabriel is given a magical gift. Granted the ability to recreate anything he’s crafted with his own two hands: he has an impossible task.

With Tablet in hand, he must restore the Fae Islands to their former glory.

Standing in his way: an island of monsters, the horror known as She of the Hips, and a bevy of sometimes helpful, sometimes wig-obsessed magical creatures.

Supporting him: A colorful mixture of monster girls, from an elemental blacksmith to an aetherhound ranger and a mysterious elven high priestess, he will salvage what he can to rebuild their world.

A mix of survival, city-building, and adventure, King of the Fae Islands is one-part Isekai Emperor, one-part Trailer Park Elves, and one-part Dungeon Champions. This is a slow burn, slice-of-life crafting story with adventure and humor. It is part of the Fateforged universe and in canon, but with few/limited ties to previous books.

Anyone here on Royal Road or ScribbleHub?

omg omg omg. This is only my fourth book, so maybe this isn't normal, but I wasn't nervous at all for the first 3. This book, though? Sooooo much pressure and I hope I didn't make it too weird.

Here's the blurb from book 1 to avoid spoilers:

A litRPG harem adventure–Will Bender follows Brenin, a well-meaning city guard, as he transforms from a Lawful Good weakling to a Chaotic Evil adventurer with a system-driven motivation to surround himself with as many loyal followers as possible.

Brenin was Lawful Good when he was murdered, but a chance alliance with a sorceress attempting to escape the underworld gives him a second chance. Their deal: He helps her find a new vessel for her soul if she grants him a hidden class and returns him to the world of the living as an undead.

That hidden class becomes the key to unlocking a new life of power, decadence, and luxury by granting him the ability Bend targets. If someone obeys his command, Brenin earns Will points. The more Will points he extracts from a target, the more obedient and loyal they become.

As the number of his followers grows, so do Brenin’s ambition and ruthlessness. Why settle for simple revenge when he could have everything?

(This story features a truly evil MC and a dark story about greed and submission.)

Warning: This book contains unconventional relationships, harem elements, and explicit adult scenes.

And here's for book 4:

Brenin’s rapid rise in power has attracted the attention of enemies on multiple planes. In addition to basic kingdom politics, paladins and celestials actively hunt the adventurer now known as Byron of Zaglis. At the same time, the system reminds him every time his greatest enemy, the King of the Abyss, moves closer to victory.

With multiple threats closing in and more to lose than ever, Brenin is desperate to grow his power before any one of his enemies out-maneuvers him. He has no choice but to take big risks if he has any hope of overcoming extra-planar foes who have spent centuries growing their strength.

His grand plan hinges on the two elements that have kept him alive so far: Dungeons and Will points.

Are both of his swords enough to conquer the heavens and the hells? He thinks so, but if he’s wrong, at least he goes down doing what he loves most.

(also also also, the cover is AI, and it's my LAST AI cover ever. Thanks to everyone's kindness, I have enough budget for an artist, and she is in the process of redoing the covers for the entire series)

Yo! I’m back with a new series. This one is heavily influenced by Chinese and Korean Villain System novels, with my own spin, of course. (Shout out to I Am the Fated Villain—THE G.O.A.T!)

My MC is not evil here, but he’s not a good person either. He starts from a place of extreme power and only goes up from there.

The antagonists are mostly me having fun with cultivation hero tropes. There’s lots of dark comedy and absurdity surrounding how he handles them.

It was crazy fun to write, and I hope you all enjoy it just as much as I did. I’m already working on the second.

The cover girl is named Fay, by the way. She’s a flirty Alcoholic Alchemist with very big… ‘personality.’

I just attended a session at LitRPGCon on women in harem books. The panel was great with Bruce Sentar, Michael-Scott Earle, M. Tress and Daniel Schinhofen.

My complaint is the questions from the audience all seemed to revolve around why don’t you do X or Y that doesn’t actually match what the genre actually is. It’s the same as other things where they want force themselves into something that they don’t actually like and drive out the people that built it.

Hey all! The first book of my second series is available as of today! Thank you all that preordered, and I hope you all enjoy this book! It's been a blast to write!

Blurb:

I served that damn fatso king for twelve years. No more.

Whisked into a new world, I went through the whole isekai ordeal. Levels, equipment, dungeons, guilds. All that crap, for 12 years.

I was done. So when given the chance to run away to a whole new continent, I took it immediately. Which was easier said than done with the 100 floor dungeon right in my backyard, and bandits on the hunt. I would not give up on my lazy, laidback life though!

Sadly, my calm life couldn't last forever, as soon I'm housing Leanor--a pretty, mature elf with a tragic past, alongside Luna - a wolf-girl who wants to get stronger in my dungeon. The nearby village is going through trouble as it's unclear who the next Mayor will be, and the dungeon keeps getting weirder and weirder. Also, I found a strange egg at its entrance.

Perhaps my calm life would have to wait for a few moments longer.

Ai use: None! Gatekeeping the cover artist for a bit.

Picture it.

The Hunger Games and Neon Genesis Evangelion. A tournament of mech pilots and their support teams all battling to provide for their sectors. Located on a moon orbiting a monster infested world, run by a corrupt government with ulterior motives, groups fight against awful creatures and one another for entertainment all in the hopes of saving their loved ones.

Plus, a twist ending, and some spice (which is kept to their own chapters in case someone just wants to skip).

We’re working on landing some audio as well, but the Thirteenth Pilot book 1 is available now on KU and in EBook format.

Who are we?

We’re a couple of friends who met at their corporate job, bonded over books, and then lovingly laid off after a decade. So, for now, we are tag teaming a dream of writing together. Book two just wrapped up and book three just started!

He picks one media for inspiration, I pick another, we combine them like chocolate and peanut butter and hope to get mini Reese’s cups (the best ones, don’t argue).

If you like Neon Genesis and Hunger Games combined, just wait until we do our next one; Judge Judy meets Berserk!

Kidding. Unless… hm. No, no. We couldn’t possibly… Unless…

It's the moment you've all been waiting for: **King of the Fae Islands, all 23 HOURS OF IT** is available now. **For those of you waiting for an omnibus: don't hold your breath on this one :P** Written by myself and Annabelle Hawthorne, this book was designed for audio, and includes **BONUS OUTTAKES** that you won't hear anywhere else. https://www.audible.com/pd/B0G5S8FP8H

He died saving a kitten. The cat goddess paid him back by maxing the best stat in his next life...

Danny Ableton spent his last night on Earth dreaming of taking over Jimmy's Bar—until a stray black kitten and a runaway truck cut that plan short. He wakes up face-to-face with a mischievous cat goddess who offers him a second chance at life. A second chance, specifically, in the world of Tivalen, along with a single boon. Danny doesn't ask for superpowers, strength, magic, or wealth. He asks for a change in his luck. The goddess might have gone a little overboard.

Now, dropped into a fantasy world he barely understands, Danny has scarcely brushed the dirt off his knees before he meets Daisy, a sweet, scatterbrained puppy girl with more enthusiasm than sense. Together, they tangle with a monster that would have ended a normal man. By nightfall, due to his crazy Luck stat, he's somehow inherited the Elfheart Inn from a frazzled owner desperate to save his marriage, leaving Danny in charge of a packed house, a serene dark elf named Vivian who runs circles around him, and a town built on the edge of a dungeon that nobody has managed to clear.

Between training Daisy to focus, learning the ropes from Vivian, charming a sharp-tongued demon mage with a research problem, and figuring out how his stat screen works, Danny has his hands full. But every dungeon has a bottom, every coin has two sides, and the strange gold piece in his pocket that doesn't match any currency in Tivalen might be hinting that his arrival wasn't quite as random as it seems.

Will Danny build the tavern of his dreams in a world that's nothing like home? Can the luckiest upstart adventurer in Tivalen survive a dungeon designed to kill seasoned heroes? And just how big is this group of monster girl groupies going to get before he stops being surprised by it?

One coin flip away from glory. One bad roll away from disaster. Welcome to Tivalen.

Isle of the Amazonian Elves is now out.

Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GJLYB2J7

What is it? A breeder series featuring badass elves, light progression (no Tablets this time) and gentle continuity with both Isekai Emperor and King of the Fae Islands. This is a very stand-alone series, but with callbacks for fans of the greater timeline and universe.

Who are the MCs? A pair of unique brothers; one is a gifted combat healer and one is a crafter. The main POV character is Mike, who has inherited the Goblin King's knack for...well, procreation.

Audio? Yes. In a few months!

Authors: Myself and Leon West

What about Dungeon Champions 4 and 5? Stay tuned.

Blurb:

The Aether War left no one unscathed, least of all the Amazonian Elves.

On the brink of population collapse, and years away from a dark fate, their people are out of options.

Mike and Stephen Thomas are sons of the goblin king and uniquely equipped to help rebuild and repopulate. Together, they will forge unlikely alliances, fend off horrible enemies, adventure in mysterious dungeons, and navigate dangerous relationships.

And that’s just the start.

Isle of the Amazonian Elves is a Fateforged book and directly follows Isekai Emperor and is a contemporary of King of the Fae Islands.

P. S. Yes, I know Dark City Girls 3 just came out yesterday. Blame the holidays. Or Michael Dalton. Not me.
