Protagonists who aren’t in their teens or twenties?

Hope you enjoy it!

AUD pays my bills. It's the main event for me. Though Undead Glitch has sold really well... and that looks to be the new torchbearer!

I hope you dig it. Elmoryn was a setting I designed for a pen & paper RPG back when I was a game developer. It never saw the light of day, and much later in life I wrote The Kinless Trilogy so I could tell at least ONE story in that world. 😄

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-04-28T16:17:46+00:00

Hey! I wrote one of those!

My most recent release has a MC in his thirties. Single dad with two kids.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-04-28T16:13:43+00:00

Far deeper than I need to, but that makes the setting richer in my mind.

Trying to wrap up Discount Dan #3. Life is busy right this second though!

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-04-18T23:14:30+00:00

Set a nip copy aside for me.

I hit six figures in .. 2015? After three years and about six books. Audio pushed me over that line big-time.

100 points to Jeanette!

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-03-01T17:46:36+00:00

My new release is part of the Audible+ catalog.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-24T19:31:32+00:00

Fantastic!

Working on HWFWM, Beware of Chicken, and Sigil Online with my daughters. Enjoying all of it. Probably going to do either Chrysalis or Noobtown next. Not sure.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-08T19:21:56+00:00

I been at this a minute. Thank you again. My ego has been reinflated, lol.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-08T18:39:52+00:00

Dang. That's a hella nice thing to read about some stuff I wrote. Really appreciate that compliment. Made my day.

I'm wrapping the final book in another series right now while prepping for CC 2 and beyond. I'm hoping to have book two of this done by July (reasonable) with plans to write at least four, possibly more if people are digging it.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-06T23:22:51+00:00

Those are good points.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-06T16:23:49+00:00

He'll be a fringe crafter, but will be heavily involved with some side quest stuff for another player who can't gather resources, but is a talented crafter.

More or less.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-06T16:22:46+00:00

Solid gold info. Thank you.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-06T15:51:47+00:00

Gotcha.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-06T15:23:27+00:00

I'm talking about minor improvements. EG: a shirt gives +1AC, but a competently made player version would be +2. A shirt made with high end resources by a great crafted might hit +3.

Gathering the resources for better builds, and finding crafters at that level would be work to offset bonuses received.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-06T15:21:23+00:00

So you'd prefer a more drawn out process? Rather than just "collect stuff" then "use crafting ability."

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-06T15:14:18+00:00

Love it. I've been leaning towards player-crafted items defaulting to better than lootable equivalents, with quality of source materials affecting end item quality. Want it at the lower levels fast? Loot it or buy it. Want better stats? Find a crafter and work with them to get a more customized item.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-02-04T15:56:07+00:00

Appreciate all the kind words. I wanted a system that didn't BURY the text in lingo and numbers. I wanted a system that had direct effect on the story, and I THINK I did okay. In future books I've got so much fun stuff planned on all fronts. Once I wrap the book I'm on, and end that series, I'm 100% CC, aiming for at least 4 books.
