Like many LitRPG authors, TJ turned to the genre as a way to indulge his gaming addiction while pretending to be an adult. His latest projects are: The Shattered Sword: Eternal Online Book 1 by Aethon Books, The Ruined Temple: Eternal Online Book 2 by Aethon Books (due for publication Summer 2020), and The Guild Core: Dragon Bourne (Currently on Royal Road and due for publication June 2020 on Amazon!) When did you first start writing fiction? First started writing fiction as a kid, sixth grade to be exact, and I got some cheesy story in the local newspapers. Was awesome. Had fun in high school as well but never took it seriously. When I got back from Iraq (1/24 INF 04-05 Mosul), my writing got serious, but I only ever wrote poetry and Creative Non-Fiction. I wanted to “tell” my war stories honestly. Then I figured out I could do that with fiction. I’ve gotten more involved with fiction, especially LitRPG, in the last few years.
