2021 ROUNDUP

It’s nearly the end of 2021, so it’s time for a roundup of what I published this year and what’s eligible for awards season.


Major Projects

System Apocalypse

Forbidden Zone – After revealing the deception spread by the Galactic Council and the hidden aspects of the System, John Lee and his friends flee the council building on Irvina.

A Thousand Li

A Thousand Li: The Second Sect – Wu Ying saved his master from the machinations of the dark sect but was gravely injured during the process.

Adventures on Brad

The Guild’s Demands – Daniel Chai has fallen into a routine of adventuring and dungeon delving with his friends. They aren’t making quick progress, but it’s steady improvements and honest work.

Co-written Projects
