  • New Novel! New Genre! New Series!

    Howdy, y’all!

    So, some of you may have heard I have a new novel out! And, of course, I forgot to post about it on the website because, hey, why would I keep this crucial bit of business updated, right? Le sigh…

    Now, you might think, so what? I always have a new novel out. Which is pretty much true. I write like a bat out of hell. Except, that this time I’m writing in a whole new genre. And I don’t mean just a new genre for me, but a genre that is fairly new on the scene.

    LitRPG!

    What is LitRPG? It stands for “Literature Role Playing Game”. Basically, the character, or characters, are sucked into, transported, cursed, become part of the actual game they are playing. If you want to go old school then think of Tron. One second in the real world, next second in the virtual world. Or that old Dungeons & Dragons cartoon  where they get transported by magic into the fantasy world they are playing in. Whatever the premise is, the point is the game becomes real!

    My latest novel, EverRealm, will be part of a series of LitRPG novels, each one set in a different gaming environment- epic fantasy, cyberpunk, urban fantasy, western, Lovecraftian, space opera, etc.

    So, hop on board this crazy new genre train and check out EverRealm! You will not be disappointed!

    In the 23rd century, the world is at an end, and a group of gaming and programming friends decide that their only way to survive is to discard their bodies and send their minds into the quantum matrix of a virtual gaming world. They have created the Domains and there they plan to reside forever.

    Except, the nightmares of reality have followed them into their new quantum dimension and those nightmares threaten to destroy it all!

    Now it is up to one of them to help navigate the quantum platform known as EverRealm, a fantasy MMORPG of epic proportions, in order to complete a quest he neither wants to complete nor knows how. With the help of his friends, and a lot of luck, he will have to face trials and tribulations like he’s never faced as a player! Because now it is no longer a matter of Game Over, but of life or death!

    Can he survive it all and come out a winner? The only way he’ll know is if he plays the game to the bitter end!

    On Me
    By
    Jake Bible

    A thrust of the blade and the craggy troll fell. It clutched at its belly, its knees sinking a foot deep in the muck and mire that made up the long neglected lane.

    “Why ya done that to me, pally?” the troll asked. “I weren’t gonna harm ya.”

    The boy stood there, troll blood dripping from the blade in huge, chunky globs. He didn’t reply. He didn’t move. Only stood there and waited.

    The troll nodded. “Tis my lane to protect, but ya had all rights to pass. I stopped ya. My death is on me.”

    The boy nodded. “Aye.”

    Hug Me And Hold Me
    By
    Jake Bible

    The house creaked something fierce. That is the biggest memory I have of it. The never ending creaking.

    So when a storm kicked up, well, hoowee, the symphony would begin.

    And the voices.

    “Papa?”

    “Yes, Lizzy?”

    “What are they sayin’?”

    “Oh, Lizzy, don’t ya worry none about them. The voices cain’t harm ya.”

    “Are ya sure, Papa?”

    “Yep… Sure as sugar.”

    That always made me giggle. Sure as sugar. I never knew what it meant. Papa had so many sayings.

    “Sure…as…sugar…”

    “Papa!”

    “Come here, littlun’.”

    He’d hug me and hold until the voices stopped or I fell asleep.

    Not A Good First Day
    By
    Jake Bible

    Elijah stepped into the room, ready for his first day of work.

    No one there.

    “Hello?”

    No answer.

    Weird.

    He heard some screams then a loud crash from down in the street. Elijah furrowed his brow and went to look. Unfortunately, the only window on the floor was in his new boss’s office. After some hesitancy, he sucked it up and went in.

    “Oh…”

    The scene below was not so good. People running and crying. Things chasing them, catching them, killing them, eating them.

    Not a good first day.

    “Huh… I better start coffee. Wonder where the break room is?”
