"A mash-up of Ready Player One, Lord of the Rings, and Indiana Jones!"

He entered the contest to win cash... 

Now millions could die.

Random gigs and ramen noodles... that's how out-of-shape gamer Terry survives the job-starved future of 2044. Until he's accepted into the Path of Relics tournament—the most anticipated virtual reality RPG event of the decade—where he has the chance to win some real loot.

But does he have a fighting chance against the world's top Active-VR athletes? Not to mention the ancient dungeons, puzzles, scorpion-wolves, and all-too-realistic NPCs the game world throws at him. And just how advanced is this "Portal Rig" that lets him physically experience the fantasy world as if he were transported there?

Worse, could his suspicions be true? Are the strange and deadly malfunctions plaguing Manhattan somehow triggered by Path of Relics? Now, outmatched and exhausted, can Terry's mysterious ability to level-up quickly and meager martial arts skills help him avert catastrophe in the real world?

You'll love this LitRPG Lite / Gamelit adventure because of its action, secrets, real-world stakes, and compelling weak-to-strong progression.

Lose yourself in a fantasy world of dead gods, lost civilizations, and forgotten lore, made possible by the advanced technology of 2044.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON RIGHT NOW

I'll update this section every so often so you'll know what I'm currently working on.

Feb 21st, 2023

Draft one continues! The sequel to Path of Relics is well on its way. I'm currently about 60 percent of the way through draft one. Had some bumps along the way that slowed me down last week, but I'm back on track.

First drafts are always tough for me. It's a constant battle against the little voice inside saying everything I'm typing is total crap. And for the first draft, that voice isn't totally off base. First drafts do tend to suck, as a general rule. But, y'know, you gotta get through them.

I enjoy revision much more. Having something already on the page to think about and consider how I might improve it, that's where I shine. And that's my mantra as I'm slogging through this first pass. "Get to revision!"

I'll be sure to keep you updated!
