Greetings from the heartland,

How about something fun for you today? First, the cover reveal for the paperback of Windwalker, Ciphercraft Book 2. B-Ro did another fantastic job, don't you think?! It's with beta readers right now, so we're very close!

Apocalypse Archer (Ciphercraft Origins 1)

I wrote a novelette set in the Ciphercraft universe that introduces you to a character, Viera, whom you'll see early on in book two. You can read it as new entry to my books, or as a tide me over until book two releases in a few weeks. Some of you may have received it in your welcome email, but if you haven't, see below:

Surviving the apocalypse with only a bow and backpack sounds like fun to Viera. Until someone tries to kill her.

She only wanted a weekend alone with her bow, but an explosion over the city sent a cloud of energy into the mountain campground. Now she's stranded and has a strange message that assigns her the class of Level 1 Archer, and tells her to align with light or darkness.

Choosing either will leave her with enemies who will stop at nothing to take everything from her: her weapons, her gear, her life.

Will she find an ally and follow the game's instructions, or die in the first few minutes of the apocalypse?

Apocalypse Archer is a novelette entry into Tim Kaiver's Ciphercraft series of Science-Fantasy LitRPGs written for RealRPG fans of Tao Wong, Blaise Corvin and Dave Willmarth. LitRPG elements include leveling up, healing and survivalist strategies, gameworld PvE, and quest adventures to discover the realm behind reality and the monsters that come through to present day. No harem or foul language, but has moments of extreme violence.

Thanks for reading!

If you haven't picked up Cipher's Quest yet, be sure to refresh your download so you can get the latest version with the prologue. It's a fun addition with centaurs and a prophet on a mission.
