Summary

Trapped in an artificial-reality battle school, a genre-savvy hero is caught between two girls and four supernatural factions, in this slice-of-life fantasy.
 
Leonard Dunning was supposed to be the comic-relief best friend of the hero in a supernatural harem-comedy narrative. Instead, his rebellious attitude, flirtatious nature, and downright bravado have placed him in a starring role in a fantasy simulation where he possesses superhuman abilities, fights otherworldly creatures, and has won the hearts of two high school girls—Eleanor Dracis, a noble family's princess, and Judy Sennoma, a "placeholder" character awakened by Leo's interactions.
 
His antics have brought him the attention of four powerful cabals: the magical Magi, dragon-clan Draconians, angelic Celestials, and demonic Abyssals. Each of them is trying to fulfill an ancient prophecy involving Leo's friend Josh Bernstein—the story's would-be hero—as their chosen one. But Leo's knowledge of the genre's tropes, his array of out-of-context superpowers, and his loyalty to his friends have altered the narrative and made him the center of attention instead.  
 
Now, he's been branded Leonard Blackcloak and become entangled in several seemingly disconnected plots. And when a goofy mad scientist's army of robots attacks Leo's friends, it's clear the simulation is trying to reassert control of the story with a sentai genre shift. With two girls to keep happy, the side effects of his powers wreaking havoc on his body, and numerous new enemies and allies joining the fray, Leo must uncover the identities of those in control—and what their endgame truly is.
 
The second volume of the hit slice-of-life romantic-comedy series—with more than two million views on Royal Road—now available on Audible and wherever ebooks are sold!
Available since: 09/27/2022.
Print length: 564 pages.

    Midlife Can Suck It. 
Ella Breene never imagined she'd rise to become the Alpha of the Black Crater Pack. She was just looking for a peaceful life in Oregon with her kids, away from her tumultuous past with her ex. But destiny had different plans. 
In midlife, making friends can be a real headache, especially when those friends are far from ordinary. Ella's found herself tangled up with a group of supernatural beings, and let's just say, it's not all sunshine and roses. 
While some members of the pack embrace her as their Alpha, including an enticing someone she can't get out of her mind, there's a vocal faction that would rather chew glass than accept her leadership. 
And if that weren't enough, her seventeen-year-old son is dead-set on joining this supernatural world, driving Ella to the brink. 
Midlife Wolf Pack is the pulse-pounding second chapter of the Accidental Alpha series, where Ella Breene continues to defy the odds, embracing her role as Alpha while navigating the wild waters of midlife, motherhood, and a supernatural world that's anything but ordinary.

Scarred, he does everything in his power to push away the delicate human female he has fallen in love with. He knows that she deserves a warrior who can protect her, not one that will need her constant help. Taylor Sampson may be human, but that doesn’t make her weak.

She is all grown up now and has her eye on the one stubborn Trivator that captured her heart seven years before. Taylor has one last requirement in order to complete her schooling. Once she finishes, she plans to show Saber that he is the man she wants, but when the planet she is on erupts into a civil war, she is trapped behind enemy lines. When Saber discovers that Taylor has been left behind, the warrior inside him refuses to think of her as collateral damage in a savage battle for power. Journey to a lawless, alien world and discover what happens when the beast awakens inside a damaged Trivator warrior when the woman he loves is threatened.

    SWORDS, SORCERY, AND A SPOT OF TEAKill All Wizards is a blood-soaked romp through high society—picture Conan the Barbarian caught up in a comedy of manners, and you're almost prepared for this unmissable new series.We could think of nothing but the barbarian. He had come here, surely, to murder or marry someone, to exact revenge, or to say or do something very scandalous. We could hardly wait to see which it was. We hoped it would be all of them.The barbarian traveled far to consult the wizards of the empire. Instead of lending their aid, they ensorcelled him, exploited his strength, and stole his sword. They should not have done that.Now the barbarian plans to kill every wizard who wronged him, even if that means blending in with their vile society: dressing in finery, taking tea in exclusive clubs, and reserving the best box at the theater.Oh, he hates it all with the fiery passion of his savage heart—but not as much as he hates these wizards.
