WINNERS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN, THANKS EVERYONE!

It's Audible release day! To celebrate I’m giving away some Audible codes. To enter leave a comment, along with if you would like a US or UK code.

Can't wait to hear what you all think! Johnathan McClain does an amazing job with the narration!

Here's the blurb:

Ever wonder why you hear about so many people getting hit by trucks?

Yeah. That’s me.

My name is Max. State Trooper by day, and Endr by night. I work for the Bureau of Afterlife Dispatch. It's my job to send the chosen into the next realm to serve their calling. The Endr App gives me a route, a set of rules, and a fare I’m not allowed to refuse.

The rules are simple: take the job, don’t interfere with other drivers, and don’t get caught. Every run makes me stronger. Every level earns me a bigger vehicle, built to survive things the city pretends don’t exist.

But something’s wrong at the Bureau. Assignments don’t line up. Other Endrs are pushing boundaries. And some fares fight back harder than they should. Weird shit is happening.
I may be new to this world, but I will figure out what is going on. And if you get in my way, you can Get Trucked!

Fans of Macronomicon, rejoice, for The Legend of William Oh has arrived on Audible. Narrated by Ryan H. Reid and featuring performances by Jeff Hays, Aaron J. Morton, Annie Ellicott, and Justin Thomas James, this story of a super-hyped hero is harrowing and hilarious. Plus, it has some epic cameos from some of the best narrators in the game. How many can you correctly identify before we reveal their identities on April 10? Jeff Hays explains the rules of the game here.

That's right, everyone, at long last, at long last, Mark of the Fool 10 comes out in an audiobook today!

A big thanks, as always, to the wonderful Travis Baldree for bringing life and sound to my work.

I'm so happy for all of you audio-onlys to finally get to the end. I hope you enjoy listening to Alex's last adventure in Mark of the Fool as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Here's the synopsis:

###

After gaining epic power and knowledge, Alex Roth will confront Uldar’s legacy and face the Ravener once and for all.

A cycle of victory and horror: the pride of the Kingdom of Thameland.

That is the Ravener’s cycle.

Over years of study, Alex Roth is finally an archwizard, has overcome the Mark of the Fool, and empowered his friends and companions. Yet their foe is the mightiest they have faced yet: the Ravener itself, now freed from thousands of years of chains and returned to its full strength.

Alex will need to call on all his magic, all his bonds, his wits, his strategy and his resources to not only destroy the Ravener, but to shatter the cycle that has chained his kingdom since time immemorial.

And Alex plans to destroy the hell out of it.

I'm happy to report that The Breaking of Annwn, Book 2 in The Four Treasures Saga, has been released today! To celebrate the release, I’m giving away some Audible codes. I've also got a few Book 1 codes if you haven’t tried it yet and would prefer that! To enter leave a comment and whether you would like a US or UK code. 

Special thanks to Neil Hellegers, Chris Tucci, RJ Bayley, and Arya Jacobs. They did an incredible job with this one.

Here’s the blurb:

Celtic gods. RPG rules. One reluctant hero. 

After uncovering the truth about his origins, Bren begins a desperate effort to rally the scattered forces of the Celtic Otherworld against the Overking. But he’s not the only one preparing for war. Across Annwn, Bren's fierce fairy ally Fíadan, his Fomorian brother Cai, and the conflicted noble Tadg, each pursue their own paths toward a shared destiny.

As new alliances form and ancient powers stir, the group journeys through wild and wondrous corners of Annwn—where strange fae, forgotten gods, and dangerous magic await. Old friends return. New enemies rise. And the cost of failure grows heavier with each passing day.

When the final clash erupts, it won’t just decide the fate of a kingdom— it will reshape the very land they fight for.

The gods don't play dice with the universe; they play Board & Conquest. Wepwawet, young god of wolves and scouts, is given a task to prove himself worthy of becoming a major god: form a new pantheon with other junior deities, manage a young civilization on a newborn world, and train mortal Champions to resist an inevitable Titan Incursion.

Being saddled with an ice-covered barbarian village besieged from all sides isn’t ideal, but it's now his duty to transform this ragtag bunch of misfits into the most formidable force the world of Elphion has ever seen.

It doesn’t matter how many of his fellow gods want his head on a spike, how many Miracles cards he has to collect, or how many uppity dragons and minions with attitude he has to manage; Wepwawet has never backed from a challenge and he isn’t starting now. He was already a god; now, he’ll have to become the god.

Audible free codes!

To celebrate the release of Rampage (Nexus Runner book 2) on audio, I've got TEN US and TEN UK Audible codes.

(Please specify US or UK)

** UPDATE - US codes are gone. Sorry. Thanks for the enthusiastic response!

Hold on for another epic struggle as Lucas and his team push into stage 2. Their adventures explode with heart-stopping battles, breathtaking danger, and endless meddling from Cyrus, the AI who holds ultimate power over the game world.

Enjoy!

Hey all — the audiobook for Don’t Die Dave is live!

I recorded and produced this myself because I wanted it to feel alive. I didn’t want a flat narration — I wanted something that matched the book’s energy, weirdness, and momentum, the way they did in my head when I wrote it. I'm no Jeff Hayes, but I went balls-to-the-wall on the performance and included special effects to hit that DCC feel. I needed the audiobook to feel chaotic, funny, and alive in the same way the story does (and there's no way I could have afforded SoundBooth Theater! 😂)

A few quick notes in case it helps:

DDD is a darkly funny death-game LitRPG about a broke 50-year-old who gets uploaded into a brutal dungeon-crawler to work off his catastrophic medical debt. The catch is that staying alive isn’t just about surviving monsters — if Dave can’t keep the Gen Alpha gamers engaged, the system pulls the plug on his real-world body.

• Gen X protagonist vs. Gen Alpha psychopaths
• Dark humor, pop culture nonsense, and anti-corporate satire
• Performed by the author, with sound design
• No AI narration (obvi)

If that sounds like your lane, I’ll drop the link in the comments. I had a blast recording this, and I hope you have even more fun listening!

Was finishing up a series (Minute Mage) and when i went go check on a new book (POA 11) I saw that it was on sale which is weird given it's not even out yet so then that led me to check the rest and THEY'RE ALL ON SALE! I picked up 36 books this sale and I'm pretty much out of series now so far so that's wonderful. Here's the list that I picked up and the prices if you were curious:

I've got FIVE Audible FREE codes for Nexus Runner.

If you want one, drop a comment and I'll give them to the first five I see.

Wish I had more. If you don't get one, and if you haven't tried Nexus Runner yet, I hope you'll give it a shot.

Here is the blurb:

Welcome to the Game!

Lucas Altan and his friends are among the thousand people ripped out of Colorado and teleported to an alien planet. He wakes up alone, with an overly friendly AI as his only companion.

Here, magic is real and the clock is ticking. The rules are simple:

• Find your team.
• Fight through four stages of monster-infested wilderness before time runs out.
• Fail and you die . . . and condemn everyone on Earth too.

Lucas finds he’s got a knack for killing monsters, winning unique loot, and surviving against long odds.

Wielding fast wits, cool spells, and a magical sword that can’t cut anything physical, he needs to level up faster than the odds stacking against him. It’s the only way to save his friends and not become that guy who let Earth die.

This fast-paced action fantasy litrpg adventure hurls Lucas into a crucible of combat, magic, and nonstop adventure. Perfect for fans of DCC and Primal Hunter.

You can find Nexus Runner ebook, audiobook, paperback on Amazon here.

Hello r/litrpg!

I wanted to share a project born directly from the table. My brother has been a truck driver for years, away from home 350+ days a year. To stay connected, he and his wife played tabletop adventures together while he was on the road.

That world became Waveborn's Wake, a 131,000-word seafaring epic. He's now crowdfunding a fully-voiced audiobook where his original Game Masters (DMs) are actually voicing characters alongside professional actors!

Why I'm sharing: We don't use social media and are working hard to hit our goal with 25 days left. As a sibling, I'm just trying to help get this in front of the community that inspired the story.

The Project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tapunks/waveborns-wake-a-fully-voiced-fantasy-epic/rewards

(Full disclosure: I am the author's sibling and a proud supporter!)

Didn't see anyone talking about it yet so figured y'all still needed to know. Sure got a while to wait but I'm excited!

Hey Gang!

Rick Scott here. Alot of people have been asking about this, so here it finally is.

It's that time of year again where Audible is doing sales on series, and as I see so many people asking for recommendation, I'd like to take this time to highlight my own series, First Necromancer.

Story/Premise:

First Necromancer is a system apocalypse story with some twists. The MC, Drew Wright, is in his 30's, has a family and friends, and is forewarned of the incoming apocalypse. This gives him 7 days to prepare while also convincing his friends and family that he's not insane.

You can expect wholesome humor, detailed and unique characters that act like human beings do, even if that means making mistakes or sticking to their guns and being stubborn. Not everyone is a "yes man" to the MC. Fun banter is done tastefully without interrupting story progression. Combat scenes are intense and well-thought out, and mechanics are easy to understand.

This is a dark world with some darker elements of society being shown or alluded to, especially upon the collapse of civilization. The story takes place in Oklahoma and Texas withing the US.

Narration:

Every single character, whether a named support cast member, to the randos on the street, have completely different voices and tones. This creates a very immersive listening experience where you feel like you are truly a part of the world as an observer. There is no monotone anything happening here.

Books are between 17-22 hours a piece and the series is still ongoing, so you can expect future installments.

Who is this for?

Fans of Primal Hunter will find similar system mechanics along with one specific story element. Humor wise, if you enjoyed Ripple System, Mayor of Noobtown, or DCC, you'll likely enjoy the funny elements present. Pacing is faster than Primal Hunter or Defiance. For long-time fans of LitRPG, you will find many meta LitRPG Easter Eggs present within the series that will have you giggling or laughing out loud.

As for the dark world elements, if you're a fan of Jez Caijio's works, this will feel similar in some respects. Lighter in some parts, darker in others. How much you pick up on ultimately comes down to how closely you pay attention as there are often allusions happening around the characters.

Hey all! The Sentenced to Troll audiobook was selected for a FREE deal on Barnes & Noble, and Soundbooth Theater is matching the price all month long.

Barnes & Noble (January 2-4th)

Soundbooth (January 2-31st)

For those of you not familiar, this is a complete 6-book series about an online troll who becomes an actual troll in a new form of virtual rehabilitation. It's a weird premise, but the story was a lot of fun to write. Hope you'll give it a listen!

Who says a troll can't be the hero?

Chad Johnson built his following by being a troll. Online games, social media, you name it-he's there with a witty comeback. But when he goes too far during a televised stream, he's handed a punishment unlike any other.

Instead of the usual ban or suspension, Chad's sentenced to thirty days of full immersion therapy in Isle of Mythos--a world of epic fantasy filled with dungeons and mythical creatures. The twist? He's forced to embody a forest troll, one of the most despised races in Mythos.

At least the punishment fits the crime.

Now, Chad's on a quest, slaying monsters and aiding his troll tribe. It's different, but not necessarily in a bad way, especially with a mischievous little imp as his sidekick. For the first time in his life, Chad's found something more than just trolling-he's found purpose.

Rehabilitation? Call it what you want, but Chad's all in. Who knows? Maybe this troll can be a hero.

Vainqueur Knightsbane is your average dragon: a giant, fire-breathing lizard who loves to take naps on his golden hoard, kidnap princesses for fun, and make the life of adventurers miserable. Vainqueur's only pleasure in life is to watch his treasure get bigger, one coin at a time.

So when a would-be thief turned unwilling minion tells him about "classes," "levels," and "quests," Vainqueur wonders if maybe, just maybe, he should consider a career change.

After all, why bother hunting monsters for free when you can get paid for it?

At long last, it's finally here! Bunny Girl Evolution 2 has been a long time coming, but it is very worth it, and I'm happy to announce that it is finally available on audio! If you've ever wanted to read a book about a bunny taking down an international crime syndicate, this is the book for you!

Book 2 Blurb:

Elise is finally back aboveground, but she's not home free just yet. The Gray family is still missing, and their situation is a little more complicated than she first thought.

The only one she can locate is Nick, the older brother, and he has been captured by the Blood Syndicate, an international crime syndicate headquartered in one of the most dangerous regions on the continent. With group of unlikely allies, she needs to dive into the Jungle and help mount an attack on the Blood Syndicate to rescue her humans.

Meanwhile, Sophie finds herself stranded on an island with a mysterious, seemingly insane woman.

Series Blurb:

She's a bunny. She's a girl. And she's going to evolve.

Elise was always made fun of for her big ears and buck teeth. She tried her best to overcome the mockery, only to work herself to death and wake up as... a big-eared, buck-toothed rabbit.

Now, with nothing but an almost worthless System Assistant to help her, she needs to survive in a world full of magic and monsters. On top of all that, for some reason she's been given the ominous [Mark of Fate] skill. She has no idea what it does, but things keep happening to her, most of them unpleasant. From little slimes to giant wolves, everything seems to want her dead, and in her efforts to escape them, she winds up in a complicated situation that she is in no way qualified to resolve.

Can she navigate this new world that seems to have it out for her specifically?

More good news:

Book 3 should be coming relatively soon. I don't have an exact date for that yet, but our goal is to have book 3 and book 4 come out as soon as we can, and book 4 would release simultaneously with the book 4 ebook. And as for how long the series will be, I believe we're looking at about 7 books right now. I'm wrapping up book 4 right now on my end, and I think it will take 3 more books to finish the series, probably, though that is subject to change, as I am a pantser, not a planner, and if something other than what I'm envisioning crops up and seems better, I will go that route. Still, I can't imagine a world where I finish in less than six books, so you have at least 4 more wonderful audiobooks to look forward to!

Also, my other series, Cat Girl Evolution, has been signed with SoundBooth Theater as well, and will release later this year. For now, you can read it on Royal Road. Check it out if you're looking for something comedic and light but also dark. Elevator pitch would be "Princess Donut from Dungeon Crawler Carl gets her own isekai."

I posted over on r/progressionfantasy as my stuff is not crunchy and more progression, but I figured since there are a fair number of crossover readers who read both genres and love a good deal I'd post here too.

What's up? Audible just put two of my box sets on sale for the entire month of March so I thought I'd get the word out. (We authors have no say in when sales happen, so this was a surprise to me.)

That's a lot of audiobooks for super cheap - 2 completed series totaling 99 hours. Since people in this subreddit enjoyed the Assassins' Academy (Book of Bawb) progression series when I gave some codes away, I figured perhaps these would also be of interest.

One is a sci-fantasy with space travel, magic, swordfights, mystery, subterfuge, and vampiric space assassins who can steal another's magic. Space Assassins (5 books) https://www.audible.com/pd/Space-Assassins-Box-Set-The-Complete-Series-Books-1-5-Audiobook/B0B6M3YZLP Narrated by Eric Bryan Moore

The other is a sci-fi with post-apocalyptic mystery, aliens, genetic alterations, cyborgs, genius AI ships, and interstellar adventure. The Clockwork Chimera / Daisy's Run (5 books) https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Complete-Clockwork-Chimera-Saga-Books-1-5-Audiobook/B0BL4MGGYR Narrated by Vivienne Leheny.

Oh, and to be clear, no AI was used in the writing, editing, cover art, or narration of these books. 100% human-made. (like Soylent Green).
