Further to Literally Immersive Gamebooks 6 – The Witches Of Cara, launching on Kickstarter on October 1st, a very special and very cheap add-on has been created to help raise funds for charity. If you love Malcolm Barter or interactive adventure gamebooks like Fighting Fantasy and Lone wolf, then this is the Kickstarter for you!!

I have just released Literally Immersive Gamebooks 5, a sequel to the popular Paranormal Hero. It is already getting good remarks in the forums, and, if the stories feedback is also as positive, a third Paranormal Hero book will be put into production. So why not put your psychic skills to good use in Paranormal Hero 2 : The Nightmare’s Lair – now available on Amazon http://mybook.to/nightmareslair
So with all of the hardback copies now posted to their claimants, pictures and reviews of happy backers are now appearing in the forums and feedback is looking positive. The softcover versions are on order and should be signed and sent next week, followed by everybody’s PDFs. I have another two books set on Pneuma planned.
However these ideas will be no time soon as I have two other projects to work on. One is academic, the other is my involvement as an executive producer on the film The Stranger I Love. This basically means help by pushing the promotion of it as far as I can. You can check out this extraordinary crowdfunder here https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk /tsil-finishingfund
I’d like to thank everybody who has supported the kickstarter campaign for my sixth book, Malinkar : Lord Of Enmity >>>
http://kck.st/3pHWHTS <<< We have successfully funded on kickstarter but there are still many cool rewards to choose from including limited edition hardcovers and PDFs of this graphic interactive fantasy. http://kck.st/3pHWHTS
. It’s been a rough year or so for me but I really appreciate those who still appreciate me.
Today was the launch of the Kickstarter for the special edition of my 6th book Malinkar : Lord Of Enmity. This adult interactive adventure story covers the corruption and rise of the villain in my third book, and where his animosity towards others spawned from. A prequel to The Druids Of Pneuma, the Kickstarter is to raise funds for an illustrator and limited edition hardback copies.

I’m delighted to announce that the Savage Realms project I have been working on is now going live on Kickstarter. My latest book, The Tavern and On Gallows Hill is joined by two others, penned by Pat ONeil, and David Lowrie of Blackdog Gamebooks. It’s a chance to back three amazing gamebook productions in one go, in a huge triple whammy style. Best of all, whatever level you back at, it’s already funded in less than 12 hours! Congratulations to TroyAnthony Schermer.

Did you know…?
In 2015 gamebook author Jonathan Green launched his very own ACE Gamebook series with a little experimental Kickstarter. The classic children’s story Alice In Wonderland became interactive fiction under Green’s experienced pen. It was a successful project, and those whom backed at a higher lever reward received a gorgeous white-cottoned hardcover special edition, decorated wonderfully with Kev Crossley’s art in golden foil. Very few of these actually exist, possibly only 50 copies although an exact amount was never divulged. In 2021, an American gamebook collector paid in excess of £1000 for a copy. This trumps the much sought books 55-59 from the Puffin Fighting Fantasy series and Grailquest book 8 put together! How lucky was I to back the project at the time, not just at the level needed to get one of these rarities, but also attend a public demo at The Asylum in Lincolnshire before the books release.
Well this year saw the release of another two books; Jamthology and The Druids Of Pneuma. With these tucked under my belt I prepped to continue work on LIG4, then recieved a rather interesting and exciting request. I have been asked to guest-author for the Savage Realms gamebook series by its creator, the much revered TroyAnthony Schermer. I can’t say ‘No’ to such an honour, and I shall make this book not only better than any I have written for myself – but also better than most I have read. I dare not give out spoilers, especially at this early developmental stage, but work has commenced and the idea is even better than the one I reserved for a full length amateur FF. So there! Eat your heart out Stephen Hand.
Back in the eighties game books were at the height of their popularity, selling in their hundreds of thousands. Come the nineties, the video game era took over and game books saw a decline, with even the most popular series being pulled from the shelves. With game book fans of yesteryear now adults, they now wish to introduce their children to the genre, with many of them becoming authors of interactive adventures in their own right. The game book market is now reviving, as this generation looks for ways to bring children back to reading rather than screen time.
My new book, JAMTHOLOGY, is an introduction to game books with four thrilling pre-bedtime sized adventures, which start off easy and grow progressively more involving until you finish a seasoned game book adventurer. It is ideal for readers of all ages who wish to begin a journey into interactive stories and pit their wits, rather than read standard cover to cover books.
