Where's the book

Hey everyone, are you excited summer is coming to end or dreading it? Or are you like me wondering if you have enough pumpkin and gourd decorations to cover the house? Fall is my favorite season, between cozying up with a book, the smells, the harvests, and the football, I love it all (plus the less sun… I got sunburnt one too many times this season).

This fall I will be selling at one con, the Cincinnati Comic Expo September 25, 26, and 27th at Mike Mollman’s vendor table. He sells a wide selection of indie fantasy/sci-fi author books, and does a deal if you buy 3 books from our table, so be sure to come say hi!

I am hoping next year to do more cons - and have more books published by then.

My next wholesome fantasy story is about 60% drafted. It will need 1 heavy rewrite to clean it up and figure out how to lay out all the scenes. Then I will do a quick grammar cleanup (it’s not quick, it’s me reading it out loud trying to confirm I know what English is). During that phase, I will do a call-out for beta readers!

Here’s a sneak peek of the current tagline for this high fantasy novel (not LitRPG):

Death didn’t stop Jonathan from doing his job, and perjury won’t scare him from saving the wizard who killed him.

I enjoy having taglines at the beginning of writing a story so I can keep track of the goal of the story and avoid plot bunnies that run away.

So what do you think of the tagline?

Another parenting fantasy book drop! This is a cultivation story of a evil person receives a curse - and a daughter, and learns to redeem himself and discover the world anew with her.

A Cultivation Fantasy Adventure about a former Demigod trying to redeem himself.

Yu Di was born to ascend. Cultivation was his life. Yet now, every time he uses Qi, he loses levels... permanently. Broken and powerless, Yu Di retreats from the world until his ex-lover drops off a surprise: their three-year-old daughter.
With no power left to chase, Yu Di devotes himself to raising Yu Lin. He teaches and protects her, gradually finding peace in fatherhood...
Until the local Immortal sect discovers Yu Lin’s talent and comes to take her. They force Yu Di to join their ranks, or watch his village burn to the ground.
Yu Di agrees. For her.
Then an ancient voice echoes in his mind:
Curse Unlocked: 0.3% Lifted.

What?

Come see how Yu Di, a former Demigod, raises his daughter while tangling with the sins of his past.

Last week I was looking around for independent bookstores near me - and found out one was opening up in my town! I signed up for their newsletter and they recommended this other one, CallieReadzBooks. If you love free books and helping indies, I highly recommend signing up for her newsletter. She features upcoming ARC (advance reader copy) news every week. https://calliereadzbooks.kit.com/5d56667fb9

This Monday, Honey, I’ve Leveled the Kids will be available as an ARC on there. I am trying to get more ratings/reviews on the book as I threw the story out there without a launch plan.

The same novel will also be part of the Massive LitRPG sale happening August 28-30th. 250 books on sale at FREE or 0.99 c in US and UK. So make sure to bookmark this link and check it out.
