    Black Dragons and Dwarves, Oh My!

    Tougher Mobs. Deeper Dungeons. Better Loot.

    Sarah, Eric, and the rest of the party are determined to do better on level one-two. Every action they make will affect level one-one for new players, so they strive to bring about positive changes.

    Defeating a black dragon is their main quest, but the game quickly takes a dark turn. They learn of a monstrous plan by Magi Inyontoo and his Magictology crew to rid the game of all dwarves.

    Dwarven player characters are being taken out of the game systematically. While the risks are great, so are the rewards. They also hear more hints about getting out of the game as they run into more player characters.

    Can this group of adventurers make it to level one-three intact? Or will they finally find a way out of the game? Find out in the exciting second installment of the Tower of Gates LitRPG Series.

    This is a full-length LitRPG novel with no cliffhanger. It is part of an ongoing series of connected LitRPG books.

    Thanks!

    Amazon pushed it back to DRAFT with no email or reason while I took a short 5 hour nap. Grrr...

    I hit publish AGAIN and it's in publishing status now with an ASIN, but who knows with Amazon...

    Reading through with the first novel still fresh in my mind.

    This one is about 50k shorter than the first novel. A bit faster moving?

    Not finding a lot of stuff to rewrite yet. This one is 27 chapters as opposed to 48, so the story moves a bit faster. The average chapter length is a bit longer.

    After this book, HERO will be all one POV. Then three books of Sarah, etc.

    I'm going to be looking at places where I might add to book 2 (HATE) as I read through and prepare to send to THE editor.

    More later...

    Tougher Mobs. Deeper Dungeons. Better Loot.

    Sarah, Eric, and the rest of the party are determined to do better on level one-two of the Tower of Gates game. Every action they take will affect level one-one for new players, so they strive to bring about positive changes while they’re trapped.

    Magi Inyontoo is back and stronger than ever, intent on stopping them. The risks that come with adventuring are great, but so are the rewards. As they journey and meet new player characters, they hear more hints about escaping the game.

    Can this ever-changing group of adventurers find and complete the level’s main quest? Or will they finally find a way out of the game? Find out inside.


    This is a full-length LitRPG novel. It is part of an ongoing series of connected LitRPG books in the Tower of Gates series. Previously published as Human. Rewritten, expanded, and edited.

    I'm curious. Will the Amazon version of Human be updated when you're finished?

    Adding five chapters with new POV. They will help flesh out some things that weren't obvious enough or explained well.

    Brings it to 32 chapters...

    Reading through (third draft) and writing the new chapters...

    Might want to read up on how to do that without pissing off people that bought copies.

    I'll be launching at $0.99 for at least a week. I've relaunched before. Plus, they really are different books.

    What do you recommend?
