Ryan DeBruyn
When it comes to Canada, there is Ryan Reynolds and Ryan DeBruyn. And, as we all know, Ryan Reynolds never did much with his life. Whereas Ryan DeBruyn, well that tall giant loveable man decided to create epic books. I was blessed to get to spend 2023 DragonCon alongside this loveable man and forever miss the time we shared together. Ryan has an absolute heart of gold, and this world would not be the same without him. Ryan has 10 books under his belt, spread across the series, System Misinterpret, Ether Collapse, Shooter, and Ether Flows.
KT Hanna
For being one of the shortest authors in LitRPG, this tiny pint size author carries one of the biggest hearts, and positive / supportive attitudes of all. I have also rated her as the best hugger in all LitRPG. Seriously, those hugs are legendary. I was blessed to meet KT at DragonCon in 2023. This vibrant soul of hers wrapped me up in her arms and welcomed me with unwavering support. During the convention there was a particular moment where I needed help, I needed support. She saw the look in my eyes and knew. Without being asked she immediately took action to ensure I was okay, and knew she would be there for me. It was that motherly / big sister attitude that made me realize she was the perfect addition for her role in Golem Master. But, not only that, she has some amazing books out there for all us to enjoy. Be sure to check out her Library System Reset: Overdue, Somnia Online, Town Under, Rise, The Domino Project, The System Apocalypse: Australia.
Charles Dean
Charles and I were also at DragonCon 2023 together. Yet, we only bumped shoulders and rarely got a chance to really sit down and know one another. It wasn’t until early 2024 when I received a random message from him that said, “You’re an awesome writer, and I just want you to know some of our mutual friends really enjoy your work.” From there our friendship has grown and we’ve spent time sending messages back and forth with one another. I knew I wanted to have some scenes where Pepper was in school but had interactions with a teacher who was just down to earth and that everyone could love. After our video messages back and forth, I felt Charles was the best fit for that character. But wouldn’t you know this dude also slings words onto paper and does a great job doing it!? I recently listened to his Apocalypse: Regression and man was it great. He also has the follow series for you to checkout. Death’s Favorite Warlock, War Aeternus, The Upgrade Apocalypse, The Bathrobe Knight, The Heroic Villain,
Richey Stephens and Joel Harvey
Though their photos make them look like a Eurpean EDM DJ’s, these two sexy studs like to share their passion for LitRPG to the masses. You may have seen them dropping in a few suggestions in the multiple facebook or discord groups. But, also loved the genre so much they created their own podcast. I have been blessed to spend DragonCon 2023 with them, but also GuildifiCon 23-24, and have been on their podcast twice now. What better way to say thank you to them, than by giving them two great characters within Peppers world.
JD Glasscock
Who doesn’t love more Glasscock in their life? Cause I know I sure do. I first met JD at GuildifiCon in 2022 and we have continued to slowly build a friendship from then on. JD’s spirit and personality is one that stays with you long after you’re done talking with him. When I started writing Golem Master, I knew I wanted to have these two commentators that you came to know and love. For me, JD’s personality was one I wanted to bring on and keep throughout the series. But, JD isn’t just an awesome commentator within the Golem Master world. He is also a word slinger in LitRPG and I am so happy to see him become a Best Seller with his book Nocturne. He has four series under his belt for you to check out. Nocturne, Blood Brothers, The Dream, Embers & Ash.
Nick Bosloe
Nick Bosloe was one of my first fans that started to follow me and cheer me on back in 2022. He met me through GuildifiCon and we’ve been friends ever since. With Nick being a Brit, I couldn’t help but imagine him as being a European football commentator, and that was when I knew he would be a perfect pair alongside JD. Nick is also a LitRPG author, but started his first book as a post apocalypse thriller, “Fight or Flight.” He started to rewrite the story as a LitRPG, but it didn’t get much traction. T hat was when he shifted gears, buckled down hard and started to tear through his writing of “One Flew Over The Dragons Nest.” His story took off on RoyalRoad and made it to the Rising Stars list, which landed him a contract with Podium. I am so excited to tear through this book when its all done and hope you’ll consider checking it out.
Brandon Benard
What can I say, other than the fact that there are many days in which I don’t feel worthy of this mans love and support. Brandon found me on TikTok when I first started posting videos regarding my first series The Dying Breed. A few messages later and he has been one of my biggest cheerleaders ever since. The only person in my top tier of Patreon and I still don’t feel I do enough to earn the support he has given me. You are a beautiful soul my friend, I’m so grateful for you.
Ryan Maxwell
I met Ryan Maxwell briefly during GuildifiCon in 2022 and then our friendship started to slowly build soon after. Ryan was working on writing his first LitRPG series and in the middle of 2023 he and I started to co-author a book together. While I was bouncing back and forth between our project and my second book series, The Scalpel Chronicles, Ryan messaged me saying “I got this idea for a new book and I want to really go for it.” He hasn’t looked back and has had great success with Grand System Vending on RoyalRoad ever since. It is great to see him get picked up by The Legion Publishers and I cannot wait for Grand System Vending to hit audio. Ryan has been one of the first Patreon members since I started it a long time ago, but this man has been a huge supporter of the genre since the beginning. So happy to have this guy be a part of Golem Master, and thanks for all your love and support brother.
Stephen Landry
The Duck Commander himself, Stephen Landry. One fateful day on a facebook stream and somehow we started talking about how awesome ducks are, and now… he is the Duck Commander. I have had the pleasure of spending time video chatting Stephen behind the scenes for over a year, and man how grateful I am for you brother. I was so happy when Stephen and Tori made it to DragonCon in 2023 and we spent time together, sharing about the ups and downs in life. I am a big fan of his Star Divers series and would absolutely recommend it for people looking for a new adventure series. Stephen also has his Undead Worlds, Tales of Dungeons, and Tales of Dungeons series to checkout.
Eric Ugland
I was blessed to get to meet Eric through GuildifiCon 2x, but then also spent time with Eric at 20Booksto50K convention in Vegas twice. The crazy thing was the fact that Eric and I used to live 1.5 hrs away from each other for years and never knew it. Our small corner of Oregon couldn’t contain two LitRPG authors in it, and Eric moved to the East coast. I love spending time with this gentle giant every time I am near him and wanted to try and capture that time with a short glimpse at GolemCon. Who knows… you might see Eric make a re-appearance. If you’re new to the LitRPG genre or want some epic good books, check out his series, The Good Guys, The Bad Guys, Master of Puppets, Roseland, Chronicles of Underrealm.
Benjamin Kerei
There is now officially two epic things that have come out of New Zealand. The filming of Lord of the Rings, and this guy! I met Benjamin Kerei at the last 20BooksTo50K in Las Vegas in 2023. I am so glad I went and loved the time sitting and talking with Benjamin while smoking extremely overpriced cigars. I later had the chance to sit down and do an Author Chat podcast interview with him and loved ever minute. The wisdom and insight when it came to writing helped me improve as a writer. His book First Line of Defense was amazing and I cannot wait to dive into another one of his epic series. Benjamin has the follow series for you to checkout, The Vampire Vincent, First Line of Defense, Unorthodox Farming.
James Hunter
The ink slinger himself. James Hunter has proven that Marines can do more with crayons than snack on them. James and I have spent shorts periods of time at GuildifiCon, DragonCon, and 20BooksTo50K in Vegas. I don’t know how you can’t love this guy who has tried to do so much not just for the genre, but for many authors within it. His love for the veteran community as well speaks volumes to the type of guy and father that he is beyond writing epic stories. Thanks for the time we’ve spent together while smoking cigars on a sidewalk in Georgia and the lunch in Vegas. Those meant more than you will probably know. James Vigil Justice series is amazing, but of course, when you have 71 titles under your belt, this guy knows what he is doing. Be sure to also check out Rogue Dungeon, Viridian Gate Online, Wasteland Warloards, Shadowcroft, Yancy Lazarus, The Wolfman Warlock, or just go to Shadow Alley’s website and dive face first into the greatness.
JoeDan Worley
What can I say. I met JoeDan in 2023 at DragonCon, then spent time with him at GuildifiCon in 2023. A heart of gold like no other and one of the funniest one legged Navy corpsmen you’ll ever meet. JoeDan quickly informed me he wanted to become a narrator while simultaneously writing his first LitRPG story. As soon as he told me this, I knew he would be the perfect person to narrate my Scalpel Chronicles series. JoeDan’s first book will hopefully be out by the time you read this message, so please go give him a like, follow, and listen. He will soon be a household name if you don’t know who he is.
Reggie Manning
It is 2010 and there I am standing in a classroom inside the Airman Leadership School on Malmstrom Air Force Base. I look to my left and see this giant standing next to me. We immediately became friends when we both got in trouble for cussing in class. Reggie had gone through a lot of ups and downs in his career up to that point, but it was when he read to the class a few articles he had written for the base public affairs office that took us all by surprise. We then discovered that this humble guy had been writing indie books for years as Niles Manning, with 13 books under his belt. I still remember the feeling of shocked surprise when you told us brother. Thanks for helping inspire me over 13 years ago and I am so glad to give you a character in the world of Golem Master.
Erika Leon-Guerrero
Erika and I first met at GuildifiCon in 2022. She started to follow and support me throughout my author journey and we found our paths crossing once again at DragonCon in 2023. A fan of LitRPG while being a killer narrator helping bring other authors books to life. When I started planning out Golem Master, I knew that I needed someone to interview the gladiators after a match, and Erika seemed like the perfect fit. Thank you so much for all your support my friend.
Seth Ring
I honestly can’t remember how our paths first crossed. But all I know is that I am so glad they did. I know Seth and I were talking online around 2022-2023, but then got to spend time together at DragonCon in 2023, and then 20BooksTo50K in Vegas later that year. We had a chance to do an author chat together when his latest series, Dreamer’s Throne released. That author chat along with a breakfast in Vegas together have meant the most to me. I normally tell people that Seth is one of the hardest working authors in the industry and I truly believe that. Having seen his calendar and schedule with my own eyes, I just don’t know how this guy gets everything done, but there is no doubt he has skills. Thanks for the time spent together brother, I greatly appreciate you and am happy to have you in the Golem Master world. If you want to checkout Seth’s books, I recommend Dreamer’s Throne because it was so well done, but he also has, Battle Mage Farmer, The Titan Series, Tower, Iron Tyrant, and Soul Caller.
Kevin Sinclair
Though Kevin has a brief mention in Golem Master, he is one amazing man and author that I look up to. I had the pleasure of spending many days with him at DragonCon in 2023 and done an Author Chat with him. Many know that my mouth has no filter, and I am happy to have Kevin to sometimes send me a quick message reminding me to knock it out. I am looking forward to bringing Kevin’s character more into the story in Book 2, possibly even book 3 of Golem Master. In the meantime, give this lovable giant a look with his amazing series, Creations Bane, Artem Underworld, Condition Evolution, and The Cesmial Accords.
Michael Chatfield
Let’s be honest. Who wouldn’t love to have this gorgeous man place two pieces of bread on either side of your face, and call you a tasty sandwich? That’s right… everyone wants it to happen. Though that didn’t happen to me, I was blessed to find myself spending a considerable amount of time with this guy during DragonCon in 2023. I was also blessed to have him come on Author Chat and discuss the greater side of growing your exposure as an author and looking at new and additional avenues to take. I am so grateful for our together my friend and can’t wait for the next time and location where our paths will cross. If you don’t know who this super stud is you can check out his work through the multitude of his series, The Four Horsemen, The Ten Realms, Emerilia, The Builder’s Legacy, Free Fleet, Death Knight.
Harmon Cooper
I am sitting in the bar area of the Westin Hotel at DragonCon when I hear my name called. I look over to see Harmon Cooper giving me a wave, “TJ, great to see you. I am so glad you made it. I can’t stay, I have a meeting.” I looked back confused, “You know who I am?” He replied while still walking, “Of course. I try to know as many people in the genre as possible.”
That short interaction made a lasting impression and is a constant reminder to me with how supportive and acceptive the genre is to others. So of course, what better way to add Harmon to Golem Master than acting as Queen Donut, a shoutout to our good friend and amazing human being, Matt Dinniman
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Kristen Franzke
This small, tiny human being pacts some serious love and support for this genre. She doesn’t get mentioned often, but she has been a super fan of the genre and actively involved behind the scenes since the very beginning. I had the pleasure of meeting her at DragonCon in 2023 and she always brought a smile to my face when we’d bump into one another during the multiple events going on. I wanted to make sure she got some “screen time” in Golem Master, and felt her connection to Pepper as a mom was the best way to do it. Thanks Kristen! Keep being amazing.
Geneva Agnos
I don’t know if it is possible to be a LitRPG fan and not know Geneva. She has been involved since the very beginning and helped countless authors bring their books to market. Now a director of marketing for The Legion Publishers and the Warrior Publishing Undefeated UFC champion. 😉 She continues to so much to bring these amazing stories to life for so many. Thanks for all your love and support to all of us. And no matter what you do, you’ll never know why I got banned from the LitRPG facebook group. 😉
Dimitris Gkirgkiris
Dimi and I had a quick introduction in Vegas at 20BooksTo50K in Las Vegas. He and I would later cross paths online at GuildifiCon’s but have remained virtual friends through social media. A friendship I am blessed to have. Dimi is a huge supporter to so many fellow authors within the genre and has always been ready and willing to help give advice on the industry. Additionally, Dimi’s company helps bring LitRPG further into the world by offering translation services which converts the stories into German. Be sure to check out his epic stories. Physics of The Apocalupse, and Berserker.
Lars Machmüller
I first met Lars Machmuller at DragonCon in 2023. An awesome spiked purple mohawk with a giant beaming smile. I found myself spending many hours with this amazing man, father, and author and fell in love with his genuine positivity and optimism. I believe Lars is the only LitRPG author in Denmark, but either way, he is totally the coolest author in Denmark, in my opinion. With over 13 books under his belt, this guy is continuing to bring awesome content to the community. Be sure to grab one of his many awesome stories and give it a look. He currently has, Dragon Core Chonicles, Underdog: Hackers of Artem, World of Chains, and Theft of Decks.
Steve Beaulieu
I don’t know about you, but that heavy metal beard just makes my heart melt every time I see it! 😉 I had the pleasure of getting to hangout with Steve in 2023 at 20BooksTo50k in Las Vegas and briefly spent some time with him at DragonCon in 2023 as well. Steve, the co-founder of Aethon books and is oozing with talent. Whether it is sharing the word of God, rocking out with his musical talent, or writing epic stories… there is just no way to stop this guy from being awesome. Steve writes under the pen name, Jaime Castle and has put out multiple best selling books. Be sure to checkout his work in Manufacturing Magic, Purgatory, An Unexpected Hero, Black Talon, and Cold as Hell.
Timo Burnham
Timo and I met through Twitter / X. A fellow indie author that is working to bring awesome new stories to the world. Timo is also a great example of authors who devote so much time, energy, towards their work. A personal trainer during the day, and word slinger at night, in hopes of one day making it full time. You can checkout his martial art series, Dawn of the Black Sun, Shadows Within, The Black Saint, along with some other Kindle Vella stories on Amazon.
David Bushman
How can you not love that awesome smile!? Dave Bushman and I got connected through twitter / X. I won a free audible code for his book, The Guy Who Accidentally Started the Apocalypse… and completely fell in love with the world he created. A LitRPG FPS series that everyone needs to checkout. What can I say… Paulie is just awesome. I need more Paulie in my life. Dave is, like many other authors in the genre, a huge super fan and supporter of other LitRPG stories. He constantly shares / repost other authors updates and new releases. He is totally a part of THE DUCK SQUAD! QUACK! Be sure to also check out his other book series, Dark Lands Online, McBride’s Magical Munchies.
RA Cooper
I had the priviledge of spending time with Rachel, aka “RA” at 20BooksTo50k in Las Vegas in 2023, and have also shared the screen with Rachel at Guildificon in 2022 and 2023… I think? RA has been a huge supporter of mine and continually brings positive energy into the genre. Sharing, encouraging, and lifting up other authors while also being an awesome writer herself as well as super mom. She writes alongside LM Hughes and has the wonderful book series, Wolf and Flame. She along with LM Hughes were just signed by The Legion Publishers and I cannot wait for their next series to drop.
Nate Craven
Master Craven and his awesome Dojo is dedicated to this one and only sexy beast. I first met Nate around 2014 and our friendship immediately grew from there. Nate and I served in the Air Force at Vandenberg AFB. He was a Security Forces Defender, just like me, but I, at the time, was serving in the special duty position of being an Military Training Leader. Nate’s house on base became the safe haven for so many Airmen. 4 out of 7 nights of the week the house was filled with multiple people. All of us becoming the pure definition of a military family. He is the living definition of Ohana, and can’t thank this man enough for being a true Bro-Bro!
James Dean
James and I met through his dad way back in the early days of my youth. I was a young security guard for Target with dreams of joining the Air Force. James had dreams of joining the Navy and one day becoming a pilot. We would eventually start working out together, running through downtown Salem Oregon as late as midnight. Puking into trashcans at Courthouse fitness club, but more importantly, having a friendship that has spanned over 20 years. James finally achieved his dream and is currently a pilot for Alaska Airlines. Only he doesn’t have doors fly off when he’s in command. Love you bro bro, enjoy flying the friendly skies… because of Air Power! Navy sucks!
John A Douglas
John and I met through a facebook group when he posted an add for hosting an author interview. I then tuned in and slowly got to know the man and see his passion for indie books and the indie movement overall. A lover of all things fantasy and comic books, John is passionate and steadfast in his beliefs, a trait I admire. He has been a huge supporter, source of encouragement and positivity to keep taking new steps forward. Additionally, John finally finished his story that took him years to finish. The Black Crown is a monster book with all the classical adventure tropes we know and love. Be sure to check it out and give it a shot. Thanks for what you do John, God Bless and long live the Ironage.
Rob Gagnon
I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Rob back in November of 2023 at 20BooksTo50k in Las Vegas. I originally was supposed to link up with James Hunter, Aaron Michael Richey and some others for cigars, but when I walked in, I saw this beaming smile greeting me along with Benjamin Kerei. Next thing you know it, Rob and I are about 3 hours deep into a massive conversation covering everything from Books, to our military experience, world cultures, religion, family, life lessons, etc. The man is genuinely amazing and has so much love and support for the LitRPG community. His first book will be coming out soon, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. Thanks for all you do brother and for being such an awesome friend and supporter.
Eli Gardner
I have known this amazing and incredible woman almost my entire life. My favorite cousin out of the massive extended family that we share, but don’t tell the others. Eli served in the Air Force as a UAS sensor operator and has more kills on record than anyone else I know. Seriously… not joking. But you’d never know that about her, this powerful, strong, and independent spirit is so much more than that. She also has a heart of gold and continues to try and speak on behalf of so many victims all over the world. Her stories have depth and meaning, and of course, she donates much of her earnings to charities and other groups worldwide so that they can continue to support these victims. She also has started rescuing horses from slaughterhouses and is working to start her equine therapy ranch for not just the horses, but veterans also. This woman doesn’t stop once she sets her heart towards a purpose. She has over 8 books under her belt, and you seriously need to checkout her work. You can grab, 1,000 Nights: Deaths love letter to Afghanistan, Rapunzel Must Die: A Persian Retelling, Salty Guardian, Tales of Anratha, and her poetry on Amazon.
Brandon Haag
Brandon has been a superfan of LitRPG since the very beginning. He has done a little bit of everything but the biggest thing is that he continues to share the good word of LitRPG. I had the pleasure of hanging out with Brandon at DragonCon in 2023 and wanted to be sure I captured the fun time by giving him a character in this awesome world. Thanks for being a piece of what makes our LitRPG community so awesome.
Michael Head
Who doesn’t love lucky lightning? The first moment you meet Michael, you’re more than likely laughing within the first few minutes, because this guy is nothing but amazing in so many ways. Michael and his better half Amanda, both served in the US Army. He and I have gotten to spend time together at DragonCon in 2023, as well as the GuildifiCon’s. Each time, it never feels like enough, though our interviews and hangout sessions easily drag on for hours at a time. Michael is also a prolific reader of all things LitRPG and fantasy and also has two best selling book series available. Though he is only mentioned in Book 1, he is certainly going to be showing up later in this series… so… just be ready. In the meantime, be sure to grad his books! Threads of Fate, and Wandering Warrior are both available on Amazin.
LM Hughes / Aoife Wai
LM Huges, or as I know her Aoife Wai is such a shining star in the universe. I was blessed to spend time with her in Las Vegas at 20BooksTo50k in 2023, but also have shared screentime with her at GuildifCon in 2023. She is constantly encouraging other authors, and supporting them by reading their work and promoting in online. Additionally, she sends the most lovely messages of encouragement behind the scenes and helps pick you up whenever you question how good you are as an author. Just another bright and shining example of what makes this genre so amazing. She along with RA Cooper were just signed by The Legion Publishers and I cannot wait for their next series to drop. But in the meantime, be sure to grab Wolf and Flame on Amazon.
Ryan Kaber
I met Ryan just over 8 years ago. At first, I hated him. Then… we went to Israel on an Air Force mission and were stuck together for roughly 16 hours. By the end of that time I realized what a great guy he was, and we’ve been best friends ever since. Ryan has spent his whole life serving. He first started out in the Coast Guard, then joined the Oregon Air National Guard, while also becoming a Deputy in Klamath County. Ryan and I talk at least once a week and it’s been awesome to see how the friendship has grown over the years. Thanks for our friendship bro-bro! May God continue to bless and watch over your family with the many years ahead.
Nikko Marie
There I was in Las Vegas in 2023 at 20BooksTo50k, when this lovely lading with a smile that lights up every room walks in and takes a seat next to me. Nikko Marie, an indie author with over 23 titles under her belt continues to press ahead in her writing journey, all while encouraging other authors to pursue their passion. Nikko is a USA Today Best Selling Author, but you’d never know it, as she would much rather just enjoy the moment of conversation amongst awesome people. Be sure to checkout her work on Amazon with her hit series, Brimstone Bay, Darkness Bites, Return of the Dragonborn, Cats, Ghosts and Avocado Toast.
Rachel Ni Chuirc
Well… this Chaos Gremlin jumped onto the LitRPG scene with a bang and has certainly not stopped. I have had the lovely pleasure of getting to know Rachel through the good old internet, and absolutely love this crazy feral squirrel from Ireland. Her first series Knights of Eternity was a wonderful debut and she is just getting started. Though she has a small role in Golem Master, this woman has a seriously big heart and loves supporting fellow authors and the LitRPG community. Go check her out and give her some love.
Angel Ramon
I first met Angel back at GuildifiCon in 2022. Angel immediately sent me a ton of support and encouragement and has continued to be a cheerleader for not just me, but so, so, so many other authors. Angel originally started in the horror genre, switched to LitRPG but then went back into writing horror. However, it doesn’t matter what he is writing, this dude is persistently getting better and better and continuing to do what he loves. Angel now has over 40 titles under his belt. His two most recent series are Pina Coladas and Rats, and Frogs and Margaritas. If you’re looking for a late night fright fest, be sure to give this guy a shot.
Rose Reynolds
I had the pleasure of spending time with Rose back at DragonCon in 2023 and also through GuildifiCon in 2023. Rose writes under the pen name of TJ Reynold and has over 21 titles under their belt. A US Army veteran and amazing author who continues to help lift up other authors within the genre and help make it the awesome community that it is. Though Rose had a small part in Golem Master, I look forward to seeing the next opportunity they can appear within this awesome world. Be sure to checkout their series, First Fist, Eternal Online, and The Guild Core.
Daniel Schinhofen
Daniel or better known as DJ is such a genuine and caring person. But also, is one epic author. I first met DJ at GuildifiCon in 2022 and immediately found out that yes… he will send you feet picks… without warning. I then sepnt time with him at DragonCon and GuildifiCon in 2023 and every time our interactions get better and better. DJ has always been willing to share his knowledge and insight to many authors within the genre and is constantly doing whatever he can to celebrate his fans and those within the LitRPG community. Thanks for all you have done bro bro. If you’d like to checkout DJ’s work, you can find a massive collection of 57 titles on Amazon. Some of his best selling series include, Aether’s Revival, Heavenly Chaos, and Binding Words.
Shami Stovall
I would say it is pretty safe to say, that if you are starting out in the LitRPG genre, it is almost instantly that you see or hear the name Shami Stovall. Shami along with her awesome husband John are two awesome pillars within the LitRPG community. Both are Best Selling Authors and both work hard behind the scenes to help fellow authors get better and better at writing, world building, or even card game development. I have had the pleasure of interacting with them through GuildifiCon 2022 and 2023 and look forward to the next event we can share together. Be sure to checkout their awesome books on Amazon and their best selling series, The Chronos Chronicles, Astra Academy, Frith Chronicles, and Demon Card Enforcer.
Jakob Tanner
Jakob Tanner and I briefly brushed shoulder in Las Vegas in 2022 at 20BooksTo50k, and I have been patiently waiting for the next opportunity to spend more time with this wonder soul. A best selling author with some amazing series such as Tower Climber, Second Chance Swordsman, and Arcane Kingdom Online, and yet, he is still not appearing to slow down any time soon. You can’t help but love his easy going, optimistic outlook on life and though he is only briefly mentioned in Golem Master, I look forward for a chance to bring his character back into action soon. Thanks for all you do for the genre bro bro.
Kyle Wilkinson
Kyle Wilkinson, or as my patreon community knows him as, “Wilkie”. Wilkie has been a super fan of the LitRPG community since day 1. He has moderated facebook groups, participated and helped behind the scenes with events such as GuildifiCon, and one of the most prolific readers I have met. His love for books is awesome to see and I loved getting to bring him into the Golem Master world. Wilkie has also written his first manuscript and continues to slowly get it ready for publication. I can’t wait for that day to eventually arrive. Keep being awesome bro bro.
Brian J. Nordon
If you didn’t realize it, “Nordon’s Grocery” is a small easter egg to this awesome guy. (Granted there is a surprise planned in Book 2, but… no spoilers here.) I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for this guy. Brian and I originally met online through GuildifiCon in 2022, and our friendship has continued to grow from there. It was him who pushed me to start writing LitRPG and one day I hope I can write as amazing as he does. Brian is the best selling author of Quest Academy, and it immediately became my favorite LitRPG series out there. There have been few authors out there that I would say truly inspire me, but Brian is easily at the top of that list. But, at the end of the day, our friendship has been more important than the writing. A wonderful human spirit that I have enjoyed having the ability to call friend, and it has been amazing to spend time together online and in person. If you haven’t checked out Quest Academy, I would recommend it over any other. Thanks for all the encouragement bro bro.
