The Final Word on Daniel Lawrence’s DND

On February 16, 2019February 16, 2019 By CRPG Addict

The title shows that, just as with The Game of Dungeons, “DND” was just a file name, not the game name. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the “Data Driven Gamer,” it’s worth a visit. The author, Ahab, is still building his readership base, much like […]

Blood Creek Witch is a Whitney Finalist!

On February 12, 2019February 13, 2019 By Rampant Coyote

My novel, Blood Creek Witch, is a finalist for the Whitney Awards. I was not expecting that. I’m kinda floored. My category is “YA Speculative Fiction” (Fantasy is kind of its own thing with these awards, based on entries… so contemporary or urban fantasy gets put into speculative). Since it’s […]
