Once upon a time, fairy tales had happy endings, but you’ll need more than luck to make it through this interactive story in one piece. Your father, King Dorian, is on his deathbed and has given you and your twin brother a quest to determine who will wear his crown. Whoever can defeat five villains in the Wild Woods and return to the castle will become the next ruler of Vallorum. Prince Keaton has spent his life preparing for this moment, training with weapons and developing his athleticism, while you have been content with devouring books in the library. To even things out, you have been gifted a bloodthirsty talking blade and a book of arcane knowledge, but it’s up to you to prove that you have a backbone. Once you leave the castle, you’ll face monsters, magic, murder, and mayhem. Be careful who you trust and make sure to navigate obstacles wisely. Keaton will do whatever it takes to win the crown and control the kingdom. You cannot allow him that victory. MORE THAN TWO DOZEN WAYS TO DIE. JUST ONE CORRECT PATH.

If you want to get to know me and my writing, come check out my podcast Vicious Whispers. I’m an open book and have no issues being vulnerable, looking at my mental health and other struggles. As a reward for making it through my babbling, I share my short horror stories, chapters from science fiction and suspense novels, as well as excerpts from nonfiction at the end of each episode. My writing covers a wide range, with fiction being my favorite to create, a dozen or so titles under my belt. There are 4 titles in my YA interactive Try Not to Die series and 16 more in the works. I also have two nonfiction titles, both inspired by a reckless lifestyle, playing Ivy League football, and battering the hell out of my brain as an unsuccessful MMA fighter and boxer. Unlocking the Cage is the largest sociological study of MMA fighters to date and TBI or CTE aims to spread awareness and hope to others that suffer with traumatic brain injury symptoms. I live in sunny California with my wife, two kids, three cats, and one demon. Derek, he pops in whenever he’s tired of hell and wants to smoke weed. He makes special appearance on my podcast, social media, and special Facebook reader group Dark and Disturbing Fear-Filled Fiction. You can also get your first set of free stories by signing up to my newsletter. This letter is only for the brave, or at least those brave enough to deal with bad dad jokes, a crude sense of humor, and loads and loads of death. Derek and I would love to have you join us!
