    It's official! Codename:Freedom is on pre-order!

    The date of release: 07/12/2017!

    Summary:
    War is coming.

    The government must accelerate their super soldier program. They have pushed beyond what was thought possible and developed a new Virtual Reality system; the perfect tool to weed out and train recruits.

    Against all odds, Lucius, a semipro gamer, is selected to participate in Codename: Freedom, a VRMMO that promises to blur the lines between game and reality.

    With the world watching live, Lucius is faced with the opportunity to gain a following and impressing sponsors.

    Unlike normal games that start out easy as you learn to play them, Codename: Freedom doesn’t have that luxury. There is no time to waste. After years of hard work to rise in rank, this new game will challenge Lucius to the point of breaking and beyond. Will he quit, go mad, or become something altogether different? Something better?

    The Epic LitRPG from RRL has finally arrived!
    (Plug still in the works.)


    Special thanks to all my readers over at RRL the past two years. Your feedback and encouragement has been literally priceless. Also, big thank you to my beta readers! Finally to Paul for setting up rhetoric forum!

    Heh. You got that right.

    Really hope you enjoy it. Book 2 hopefully wont be too far behind it, although book 1 of Underworld should be out before that even.

    I thought I had better clarify my earlier statement in case Felicity or Eden get the wrong idea. By dating system I meant the order in which dates are displayed not the manner in which romantic assignations are arranged.

    Of course the way such amatory things are sorted in the USA is crazy................... what's wrong with the good old bash with the club and drag off by the hair? It was good enough for the stone age, it's good enough for me.

    You can try to make it sound however you like, but Felicity and Eden will still take it anyway they want it.

    Thanks Felicity!

    I was on the goodreads group earlier, and trying to figure things out there. Should be able to get it some more time later. I want to get into the discussions!

    I entreat you to cast away shyness, do not be afraid to announce your release over there. In the OG LitRPG goodreads group, it looks like authors were doing that on the regular.

    And know that am adding LitRPG fans and authors every day, it's a slow process, but the group will grow.
