Paragon of Skills

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

So, as I said on Patreon, one of my books from another account, Phoenix Healer, is coming out today!

ALSO, for those who missed the announcement, you'll also be able to read Paragon on Amazon since it's been signed to Aethon Books.

But it's going to take a minute to edit and produce.

Now, you can and should buy my other, non-paragon, LitRPG book, Phoenix Healer, here, if you want to help with the launch. It's a few bucks and it's a fun read. Also, the narrator is the very talented Amy Landon, who narrated, among others, The Queen's Gambit's book.

As for Phoenix Healer, the synopsis is...

Perfect warrior, think Jason Bourne, awakens without memories and at level 1, starts killing a few cultists, then a few more, then monsters, then corrupted beasts, then goes up the ladder, makes mysterious friends. It's the most hardcore litrpg I've ever written but potentially more developed than Paragon in some aspects.

A fun fact, when I started Paragon as an experiment while I was writing something else, which was trying to merge the feeling I got from a couple of xianxias and The Martian (the book), I wasn't even looking at the story or the prose. I was purely vibing. Like, vibing out of my head trying to recreate this very specific feeling. This did lead to very interesting things, among which this comment when I launched it, around the first few days of release:

Find this and other great novels on the author's preferred platform. Support original creators!

And from then on, also because well, I didn't really divulge that I was writing under different pen names because, as I said, it was an experiment to test something storytelling/writing wise... well, from that point a bunch of people said, 'this is great but so shit at some turns, but it shows you're a first time author.'

I've been writing since 2016 😭😭😭

Full-time since halfway through that 😭 😭 😭

It is kinda funny, though.

I'll be honest, I don't think Phoenix Healer is as entertaining as Paragon's beginning is. Not gonna lie, the paragon book 1 is a bit xianxiesque in the wrong ways, but when it does the thing in the good ways, it's so good. But I do think, emotion wise, Phoenix Healer is closer in maturity to maybe the second and third book of Paragon. With more fighting monsters and levels. And skills.

Right, also, she's sort of immortal in the way time-loop stories work? Nuts, I know.

But yeah, please, buy the book and do give a listen to the preview of the audiobook - and buy it if you like it - because the narration is INSANE. It would mean the world to me!
