Going forward, my LitRPG books will be written under the new penname, Theo Hodges. This new series, Badges of Dorkdom, is a new start for me after the Ciphercraft series failed. I learned quite a bit from writing Ciphercraft, and put that into this new series where it is Fantasy right from the start, gets right into full game mode litrpg elements—instead of Cipher’s Quest where it doesn’t fully kick in until the end of the book—and this new series has more humor. My publisher, Aethon Books thought I’d be setup better for success with this fresh start, so here we go. Theo Hodges. Dreadlord Wizard is book one. I will let you know here as soon as we have more news.

Someone obviously botched their chances when they chose a future college dropout named Kenny. His opportunity to prove everyone wrong starts now…
