I published the book Sunday 26th July and Amazon kindly launched it within just a few hours - usually it takes most of a day, or even more so I was really lucky.
Sales have already begun, which is hugely encouraging :)
It's available on Kindle Unlimited.
Rescuing Roxy - Vandal the Barbarian Book One
Choose an afterlife. Choose a class. Choose adventure.
When Conrad died, they uploaded him to New Albion, a digital afterlife system. It’s an adults only VRMMO game, created to indulge users' fantasies within a fully immersive, classic fantasy setting.
Now he stalks the forests of Tinshire as Vandal Lionheart, adventuring barbarian. His rusty gladius may be small and his loincloth revealing, but his six-pack is pronounced, his biceps bulging, and his most treasured weapon is as mighty as his chest measurement.
Vandal is level one and on his first quest, when he picks up a side quest to rescue a prisoner.
Emily became Roxy Lickspring, a petite goblin shaman with killer curves who deploys healing and lightning bolt spells as eagerly as the sharp mind and wicked tongue she uses to prove the AI used their fantasies to match them up.
Can they defeat the Cult of Libidos and build a life together?
Get Rescuing Roxy now if you like the idea of slow-burn* GameLit harem with an American hero and an English heroine. Inside you’ll find vulgar language, strong violence, humour, saucy serving wenches, lewd shopkeepers, evil cultists, various sizes of rodent, bandits, finishing moves, slice-of-life elements, questing, sewer crawls, experience gain, and a bad guy receiving an implied punishment so horrific, it may have to be removed in a future version. It is only suitable for adult readers as it contains explicit scenes. * Vandal's harem will grow in the next book.
Freeing Faye - Vandal the Barbarian Book Two
I'm working on the sequel, Freeing Faye in which Vandal's harem will expand by at least one member when he gets a new girlfriend, much to Roxy's delight.
Faye is an Elven Warlock who makes an uncredited cameo in book one.
That's what we mean by slow-burn harem, or what I mean in this case. I'm intending for Vandal to recruit a full harem through the series, and even if he wasn't that keen, Roxy would probably wear him down.
At the moment, I'm planning to finish outlining Freeing Faye in August ready to begin writing in September. I do hope it won't take me that long, but I have several spinning plates under my main pen name, and I need to keep those going to pay rent.
As per the author notes in book one, I full expect the writing and editing of book two to go much more quickly because I have a better handle on the process and the game elements now.
I'm so excited that readers are finally able to get their hands on this first book, and I hope people enjoy it. Kind regards, Rex Albion
P.S. I'm planning to release a paperback but I'm reliant on myself to format the cover so bear with me. The art was commissioned but I handled typography myself and I'm clearly no expert as you can see. I want to make sure any paperback looks neat and tidy on the cover and not just inside.
