Hey folks,

I’m pleased to say that one of my epics has been completed. THE DARK UNDERMASTER SAGA (Lords of Dragon Keep, Guardians of Dragon Keep, and Wizards of Dragon Keep) has been finished with the third book. WIZARDS OF DRAGON KEEP is now available on Kindle Unlimited, in ebook, and in paperback form.

“So, we’ve got an army.”
“Yes. All of the Southern Kingdoms are united for our big battle with Veles.”
“Except, he’s not fighting us. He ran to Earth.”
“Yeah, I didn’t see that one coming.”

It is the time for the final battle between Veles and Aaron’s heroic band of misfits. Except Veles doesn’t show up. Unfortunately, this leaves Aaron holding the bag as the various factions he’s united have ended up divided. Worse, Aaron is slowly metamorphisizing to becoming a god and will soon no longer be able to be among mortals. Can his relationship to his loved ones’ survive? Can he defeat Veles before he’s bound by ridiculous rules against stopping him? Can he stop Jon from making incest jokes?

WIZARDS OF DRAGON KEEP is the third volume of the Dark Undermaster Saga, a humorous send up of dark fantasy like Game of Thrones, The Witcher, and Dark Souls. It is a progression fantasy LitRPG that follows the adventures of video game computer programmer, Aaron Bartkowski as he is hurled bodily into the world of his favorite author, Larry C.C. Weis. Unfortunately, Weis turns out to have been much better at stealing from other, better, authors than he was in giving his heroes a break.

I am also very happy to announce that the work has begun on LORDS OF DRAGON KEEP’s audiobook

Guardians of Dragon Keep (Dark Undermaster #2) is now available

The sequel to my humorous LitRPG isekai is now available for those who want to pick up a copy! On Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and in paperback!

“So, what you’re saying is the Dragon Queen is dead.”

“No, what I’m saying is the Dragon Queen is dead and there’s an imposter carrying on in her place. Possibly someone you know. Your girlfriend’s ex is back from the dead. Your brother is evil. A dead god is trying to take over your body. We’re running out of time until it becomes impossible to save the world. Also, I’m pretty sure the giant blind redheaded swordswoman chick wants to bang you to death.”

“So, normal Tuesday.”

    Aragorn “Aaron” Bartkowski and his merry band of miscreants are back! Having successfully slain the demon god Chernabog, they’ve managed to buy a little more time for the planet Mokosh. However, a hero’s work is never done, especially when a hero is underleveled and with low WIS. From a mission to a haunted vampire-filled castle to rescue the little girl Pope to the deeps of elven territory to the heart of Ledziana’s civil war, Aaron must now engage with the complicated politic underlying the dark fantasy setting he’s found himself in. It’s win or die when playing the games of kings and queens, though, and our hero is absolutely terrible at them.

    GUARDIANS OF DRAGON KEEP is the second volume of the Dark Undermaster Saga, a humorous send up of dark fantasy like Game of Thrones, The Witcher, and Dark Souls. It is a progression fantasy LitRPG that follows the adventures of video game computer programmer, Aaron Bartkowski as he is hurled bodily into the world of his favorite author, Larry C.C. Weis. Unfortunately, Weis turns out to have been much better at stealing from other, better, authors than he was in giving his heroes a break.

Two new series on Kindle Unlimited

/ C.T. Phipps / Leave a comment

Hey folks,

I’m pleased to announce that there’s now two more series of mine available in Kindle Unlimited. The first of these is LORDS OF DRAGON KEEP, which is my new fantasy parody series. It is to the fantasy genre what the Supervillainy Saga is to superheroes. The second is FUTUREPUNK, which is the collected volumes of AGENT G, THE CYBER DRAGONS TRILOGY, and MOON COPS ON THE MOON.

LORDS OF DRAGON KEEP

“Give me the incredibly short summary of what the hell is going on, please. The kind you could fit into a movie trailer.”
“You’re trapped in a video game world based on a hack dark fantasy author’s rip-off of better books.”*
“Uh huh. Maybe you could be a bit more detailed.”

Aragorn “Aaron” Bartkowski was a programmer working at Epic DungeoneeringTM, the world’s largest fantasy video game company. Much to his surprise, he was selected to pick up the latest manuscript from reclusive author Larry C.C. Weis. Weis had been working on his newest book for over a decade and the good folk at Aaron’s company had dibs on adapting it. Unfortunately, Weis was also a wizard and sent Aaron to the world that inspired his books.

Aaron proceeded to find himself in a Slavic mythology themed world where he’s believed to be Weis’ main character, Garland of Nowhere. Equipped with the powers of a RPG protagonist, Aaron must accumulate experience and equipment while navigating a setting that seems worse off than Game of Thrones and Dark Souls put together.

LORDS OF DRAGON KEEP is a LitRPG progression fantasy isekai that takes the grim out of grimdark with biting humor as well as intelligent exploitation of the rules. It has excellent world-building, a great supporting cast, a bit of romance, and lots of laughs. Oh and there’s a talking raven.
I’m pleased to share my latest book with y’all and thought you’d enjoy that, for the price of a cup of coffee, you can continue an author ruthlessly mocking dark fantasy. So toss a coin to your Witcher and pick up a copy.

FUTUREPUNK

“The world is a neon-ridden hellhole, how did we get there?”
-Anonymous cyberpunk

A high-class corporate assassin. An ex-Yakuza smuggler. A detective with a robot dog. Three generations of individuals struggling against the rain-soaked technology dominated world of Futurepunk. A place where there are no heroes but only winners and losers. 

I wrote this nine-book series as an indie author who was absolutely in love with cyberpunk since the day he first booted up the original Deus Ex game in 2000. It found a decent-sized fanbase and the series remains one of my favorite works. I am now going to be sharing its characters and their journey across a shared world that spans a century of time. They’re available on Kindle, paperback, and audiobook form.

I hope you enjoy.
