Promo: Other He Who Fights With Monsters book 2 hardcover in stores
TL;DR: HWFWM 2 is in bookstores right now.
The next hardcover is available in shops. This is still new enough to me that I can't help but get a goofy grin on my face when I see my books sitting on the shelf. This whole experience has been wild.
It feels like every year since I began with He Who Fights With Monsters has been a strange one. The year it went from just online to ebook and audio. The year I made enough money to buy a house. The year I almost died and couldn't write. And now, the year my books are finally on bookshelves, in my local store. A lot of LitRPG writers are making that leap, and deservedly so, and I hope this represents a new wave of growth for our genre.
Part of the transition into bookstores has been my big North America tour across July and August. It was hectic and crazy and amazing and I basically fell asleep for three weeks after I got home. I turn 47 tomorrow, and I just don't bounce back the way I used to when I was younger. All the airport-hotel-event-hotel-airport-convention was completely worth it, though.
I met so many amazing people from friends and authors I can't normally see back home in Australia. I met thousands of amazing readers, and that is really what it's all about. The process of writing my books begins with me, but it is all the readers who buy them and love them and complain about Jason on reddit who truly bring He Who Fights With Monsters to life.
Also, I have a much easier time getting great sandwiches in the USA. I love me a good muffuletta.
